vs
Man Utd v Portsmouth - Ch 24 - 11pm (Live)
Manchester United get the chance to go clear at the top of the
table this weekend as they play before Chelsea. The Red Devils
entertain Portsmouth in a rare 3pm Saturday kick-off for the Old
Trafford faithful. Should United win then they will move three
points clear, as Chelsea do not head to Tottenham for their capital
showdown until 24 hours later - this week's Super Sunday
clash.
Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville have been declared fit for Manchester
United after missing the FC Copenhagen defeat. Striker Louis Saha
will return to the starting XI with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer carrying a
slight hamstring tear.

scorers with six goals each.
Portsmouth's defence will feature two new faces with Andy O'Brien
and Noe Pamarot replacing injured duo Linvoy Primus and Glen
Johnson.
Sean Davis has recovered from a bout of flu, while Gary O'Neil and
Benjani Mwaruwari face late fitness tests.
Nwankwo KANU is Portsmouth's leading scorer with seven goals.

vs
Liverpool v Reading - Ch 23 - 11pm (Live)
Liverpool are looking for their third win in a week as they face
newly promoted Reading at Anfield.
After finally fielding the same team for the first time in 100
games, injuries to Luis Garcia and Xabi Alonso will force Liverpool
into changes. Craig Bellamy remains a doubt and Jermaine Pennant is
set to start.
Peter CROUCH is Liverpool's top scorer with eight goals.
Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt is back in contention after sitting
out the game at Portsmouth, but skipper Graeme Murty is unlikely to
make his comeback.
The defender stays on the sidelines along with Dave Kitson, John
Halls, Peter Mate, Simon Cox and Aaron Brown.
Leroy LITA and Kevin DOYLE are Reading's joint top scorers with
four goals each.
Liverpool : Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia,
Agger, Riise, Aurelio, Pennant, Sissoko, Gerrard, Fowler, Crouch,
Kuyt, Martin, Bellamy, Garcia, Alonso, Zenden, Warnock,
Paletta.
Reading : Hahnemann, Gunnarsson, Ingimarsson,
Sonko, Shorey, Little, Sidwell, Harper, Convey, Doyle, Seol, Lita,
Long, de la Cruz, Bikey, Oster, Hunt, Federici.
