Gary Lineker presents goals and highlights from the day's Premier League fixtures.
Wigan have faced Manchester United eight times in the top flight, and lost every time. Could new Latics boss Roberto Martinez change that record? Sunderland host Blackburn, something they are familiar with, having faced Rovers three times at the Stadium of Light in 2008/09; their only win came away from home at Ewood Park in November 2008, when goals from Kenwyne Jones and Djibril Cisse saw them come from behind to claim three points.
Arsenal did the double over Portsmouth in 2008/09 and will expect to win again at the Emirates. Birmingham and Stoke last met in the top flight 25 years ago - who will gain the upper hand? Hull haven't beaten Bolton in any of the last six meetings between the sides, but the point they grabbed at the Reebok Stadium in the penultimate game of the 2008/09 season proved vital in keeping them in the Premier League.
In the day's other game, Manchester City host newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers.
