Both league meetings were drawn last season, and West Brom have not claimed all three points in 17 attempts since Boxing Day 1984. West Ham have taken 10 points out of the last 12 against Sunderland and already won at the Stadium of Light this season, in the League Cup.

There is also a chance to see the goals from all of Saturday's games in the top flight. Having struggled to beat Chelsea for years, Tottenham were looking for a third consecutive home win over the Blues at White Hart Lane today. Spurs' last victory in April threatened to derail Chelsea's title hopes and although Carlo Ancelotti's side were eventually crowned champions, his players will be determined to avenge that defeat today. Birmingham have won their last three league matches against Wolves, including the last meeting at St Andrew's in February when they had to rely on two late Kevin Phillips goals. Wolves had home advantage today although that didn't help them in their only previous derby this season, when they conceded a late Emile Heskey goal to lose 2-1 at home to Aston Villa. Bolton against Blackburn is always a fiercely contested derby match.

Champions Chelsea won this corresponding fixture at Stamford Bridge 7-1 last season, but Villa tightened up their defence to earn a goalless draw with the Blues at Villa Park back in October. The goals have dried up for Carlo Ancelotti's side after their blistering beginning to the season, but they will be desperate to get the New Year off to a good start as they bid to retain their Premier League title. The day's other game sees Wigan host Newcastle. The Geordies have a dismal record in away matches with the Latics and have lost all four of their Premier League matches at the DW Stadium.

20January 23rd 2011Off-field events at Ewood Park have overshadowed Blackburn's season, with the new owners controversially sacking manager Sam Allardyce last month shortly after completing their takeover of the club.

26March 20th, 2011Colin Murray presents highlights from today's two Barclays Premier League matches, as well as all the goals and talking points from yesterday's eight games. Today's fixtures include Liverpool's visit to the Stadium of Light, where they suffered a controversial 1-0 defeat to Sunderland last season when Darren Bent's winner found the net after deflecting off a beach ball thrown onto the pitch by a Reds fan. Also in action today were Chelsea, who hosted Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. City have a good recent record against the Blues, winning the last three meetings, with their talisman Carlos Tevez finding the net in all three games. The Argentine scored twice in this fixture last season, when City came from behind to win 4-2 in a lively encounter, which Chelsea ended with nine men after both Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack were sent off.
27April 3rd, 2011Colin Murray presents highlights of the day's Premier League programme, which features two fascinating games.

Last season's corresponding fixture at Eastlands produced seven goals as City ran out 4-3 winners in a thrilling encounter. Fulham versus Blackpool is also an encounter with much at stake. The last time Blackpool faced Fulham at Craven Cottage, these sides were both in the third tier. That 1999 match ended 4-0 in Fulham's favour - a similar result this time would put a huge dent in the Ian Holloway's bid to keep Blackpool in the Premier League for a second season.
