Blackburn (away vs. Middlesbrough)

Subs: Enckelman, Olsson, Ooijer, Mokoena, Dunn, Santa Cruz, Rigters, Derbyshire
Injured: Berner, Steven Reid
Suspended: None

Team News:
Robbie Savage returns to Blackburn side after a long absence with a broken leg, he should partner Tugay in midfield. There is a toss up at right-back between Emerton and Ooijer, as the Dutchman played most of preseason in this spot while Emerton was international duty. New signing Santa Cruz could start alongside McCarthy but Roberts is marginally preferred as he already competitive competition under his belt from the Intertoto cup games.

Bolton (home vs. Newcastle)

Subs: Faye, Michalik, Alonso, Guthrie, Campo, Helguson, Vaz Te, Al Habsi.
Injured: Gardner, Stelios
Suspended: None

Team News:
New signings McCann and Cid are set to make their league debuts for the club today. Bolton have been playing a 4-4-2 formation in preseason and could revert to it as Big Sam will surely know how to cope with his favourite 4-3-3. Helguson could be inline to get his first start but preferences are still for Anelka, Davies and Diouf who proved so affective in the second-half of last season. Swede Wilhemsson and Braaten have not reached full match fitness and won't be considered.

Chelsea (home vs. Birmingham)
