1441: TEAM NEWS Man City v Arsenal
Manchester City make one change from the side that beat Portsmouth on 30 August, with Nigel de Jong replacing the injured Carlos Tevez to make his first start of the season. Robinho, who was on the bench against Pompey, is unavailable after picking up a knock playing for Brazil. Cesc Fabregas and Nicklas Bendtner return for Arsenal following their defeat by Manchester United a fortnight ago, in place of Emmanuel Eboue and Andrey Arshavin, while the Gunners have Tomas Rosicky on the bench after he played his first competitive match for 20 months in midweek, helping the Czech Republic beat San Marino.From anon via text on 81111: "With the top six teams all playing each other today, could Burnley pull off a shock win and sneak in to the top six with Stoke"1438: TEAM NEWS Portsmouth v Bolton
David James returns from a knee injury for Portsmouth, who also hand debuts to new signings Tal Ben-Haim, Jamie O’Hara and Kevin Prince-Boateng. Further transfer-window buys Mike Williamson, Danny Webber and Hassan Yebda are all named on the bench. Bolton boss Gary Megson gives Croatia forward Ivan Klasnic his first start after his move from Nantes.BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at Eastlands: "Emmanuel Adebayor has just emerged to warm up to a predictably mixed reception at Eastlands. Cheers from the Manchester City fans - something unrepeatable from their Arsenal counterparts. This is a game that is being seen as the first serious test of City’s credentials as potential top four contenders."1435: TEAM NEWS Stoke v Chelsea
Stoke switch to a 5-3-2 formation and make four changes from the side which beat Sunderland - Robert Huth making a full debut against his former club, James Beattie returning from injury and Dean Whitehead and Danny Collins also coming in.

Come on Chels!!"From bdpullen on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/#searchq=carolinecheese)"Two worst teams in the league at the moment: Bolton and Pompey. Seven-goal thriller anyone"From Steve, Southend, via text on 81111: "Re 1346: Tevez isn’t worth £50m or even £15m but does it matter Hughes wanted him and prices are irrelevant. Lescott is a half decent centre-back but has cost more than Arshavin, Modric or Torres (players who change games). The City price guide is off kilter."1406: There may be no early game in the Prem, but of course I haven’t forgotten that other leagues exist. In the Championship,Derby and Sheffield Unitedhaven’t bothered to score a goal yet. In League One,Gillingham lead Millwall 2-0while in the SPL, Motherwell areabout to hold Rangers to a draw.1403: Steven Gerrard’s Liverpool meet Burnley, who won their last meeting thanks to Djimi Traore’s now legendary own goal in the 2004/5 FA Cup. Reds keeper Pepe Reina tells the Guardian this morning: “Maybe it’s time to get realistic and not think about the title but just about winning the next game.” Sounds sensible, noFrom Feesh, Australia, via text on 81111: "All I am going to say is - today will be the Steven Gerrard show."From J via text on 81111: "Re 1339: Gotta agree with Ade. The Emirates can be noisy when we are playing fantasy football. The crowd responds to the team, we don’t get behind them when they need it most. That’s the price you pay for having the most expensive tickets in Europe!"1353: You can probably tell there’s been no early game, because I have scoured every newspaper… and top marks to the Sun’s graphics people, who were either very quiet yesterday, or very busy, depending on how you look at it. Carlo Ancelotti appears with John Terry, Petr Cech and Frank Lampard as the Beatles (because Ancelotti said he likes the Beatles), while Darren Bent’s face is superimposed onto a bird (because he said on Twitter that he didn’t want to join Hull, who Sunderland face today). Brilliant!1349: Am I talking to myself Am I Hope not. Text on 81111, banter on606](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A57016163s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=football)or tweet onTwitter.](http://twitter.com/carolinecheese)Thanks!1346: In other Manchester City news, theTimes reportstoday that the moneybags club could eventually pay a mind-boggling £47m for Carlos Tevez, which, if true, would make him the fifth most expensive footballer on the planet. I don’t even know where to start with that. Actually, I do: he’s just not that good, is he Is he!1339: Today also sees Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure up against their old club asManchester City test their top-four credentials against Arsenal.“Adebayor has started the season on fire and we have to put that fire out,” says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. Adebayor, meanwhile, is still in a right mood with his old club. “Arsenal have a lot of fans who are not fans,” says the striker. "Arsenal have fans from America and Jamaica. Today they are Arsenal fans, tomorrow they will be Liverpool fans, after tomorrow they will be Manchester United fans. If you boo your player every weekend, I am very sorry, you are not true fans."1334: Yes it’s back. The Premier League returns for the first time since the transfer window shut following a flurry of completely underwhelming activity. Still, watch out for club debuts today for Ivan Klasnic (Bolton), Danny Collins (Stoke) and, erm, Mike Williamson, Danny Webber, Jamie O’Hara etc (Portsmouth).1330: Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s lovely they let internationals have a little go, but enough’s enough..This article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
