Premiership Saturday.

Portsmouth vs Bolton

Portsmouth face an injury crisis, with Sol Campbell, Noe Pamarot, Gary O'Neil, Lauren and Dejan Stefanovic doubtful. Sulley Muntari is suspended, leaving Pompey possibly down to 16 players, so Matt Taylor seems certain to be recalled to the starting line-up.

Former Portsmouth defender Andy O'Brien could make his debut for Bolton, who have conceded five goals in two games.

Strikers Kevin Davies (hamstring) and Ricardo Vaz Te (foot) are again ruled out through injury.

Birmingham vs West Ham

Birmingham pair Olivier Kapo and Johan Djourou have shaken off minor knocks but Franck Queudrue (ankle) is out. Damien Johnson (hamstring), Martin Taylor (torn stomach muscle), Mat Sadler (Achilles) and Rafael Schmitz (Achilles) remain long-term casualties.

Kieron Dyer is in line his West Ham debut, with fellow midfielder Scott Parker (knee) still struggling.
Lucas Neill could be rushed back into action, but Julien Faubert, Nigel Quashie and Calum Davenport are out.

Fulham v Middlesbrough

Fulham keeper Antti Niemi (wrist) remains sidelined, so Tony Warner continues in goal. Defender Philippe Christanval has returned to light training but will not be considered and Ian Pearce (ankle) is still sidelined.

Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing is rated as 50-50 with an injured thigh.

Mido is in the squad after a £6m move from Spurs, but Luke Young (thigh) will be out for another week and Fabio Rochemback is still suspended.

Tottenham v Derby

Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov is ruled out with a groin injury while Gareth Bale (leg) is back in full training but not ready to return.

Spurs' long absentee list includes Ledley King, Aaron Lennon, Younes Kaboul and Michael Dawson.

Derby right-back Tyrone Mears should shake off his calf knock but defender Claude Davis (rib) is a major doubt and Giles Barnes (foot) remains sidelined. New signing Benny Feilhaber is eligible after getting international clearance.

Newcastle vs Aston Villa 0015hrs tomorrow.

Michael Owen returns to the Newcastle squad after a thigh injury and he could be joined on the bench by Emre.
Keeper Shay Given (groin), Damien Duff (ankle), Joey Barton (metatarsal) and Celestine Babayaro will miss Sam Allardyce's first home game as boss.

Aston Villa keeper Stuart Taylor has a calf problem, so on-loan Scott Carson stands by to make his debut.
Craig Gardner, John Carew and Martin Laursen are all fully fit, Patrik Berger (hamstring) misses out.


BERN's predictions;

my picks for Fulham & Newcastle to win tonight.

Spurs have to win, otherwise another home defeat would spell danger to Martin Jol job.

Birmingham T.G: 2 or 4.

Portsmouth life-line left with 16 fit players in their 1st-team.
L.S: A-D or away win.
