EPL BERN's selected picks;

manchester city v bolton wanderers
Eriksson will be hoping to welcome back midfield-general Elano to the starting eleven, and while one player, Dietmar Hamann, returns from suspension, Stephen Ireland misses out as he begins his three-match ban following his dismissal during City’s game against Tottenham.

Megson is likely to name an unchanged side from the one which beat Wigan last weekend with no injuries or suspensions to worry about, and as such Andy O’Brien, Nicky Hunt and Danny Guthrie will all retain their places in the team.

1/2 goals.
LS: 2-1/DRAW.


portsmouth v tottenham hotspurs
Lauren (hamstring), Martin Crainie (broken leg), Linvoy Primus (knee) and Sean Davis (hamstring) are all on the injured list though Lauren could be in contention again by Saturday. Kanu is getting near match fitness and could be in line for the starting XI.

Gareth Bale is being rushed back to fitness but still won't be ready for this one, and while Rocha is getting close to full fitness he won't make the line up for this either. Ledley King (knee), Anthony Gardner (ankle), and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) are all out, while Robbie Keane is suspended for the 2nd of 3 matches.

DRAW.


liverpool v manchester united
Xabi Alonso could return to the squad after missing two months with a broken metatarsal. Right Back Steve Finnan is doubtful with a calf strain, while Centre half Daniel Agger (foot) is still missing.

Experienced United legends Gary Neville (calf) and Paul Scholes (knee), as well as Park Ji-Sung (knee) all miss out for United, but after the money spent by Ferguson in the summer, his squad should be able to cope without them.

home win.
