Fulham-Tottenham Hotspur
TEAM NEWS
Fulham will be relieved to have got goalkeeper Antti Niemi back from injury following the rather inconsistent performances of Tony Warner in goal. Chris Baird returns following a suspension, while Dejan Stefanovic is in the squad following his late move from Porsmouth. Sanchez is without Aaron Hughes, Lee Cook, Hameur Bouazza, Brian McBride and Jimmy Bullard all through injury.
Tottenham have plenty of good news on the injury front with winger Aaron Lennon, centre-backs Michael Dawson and Younes Kaboul and striker Darren Bent all back in the squad after injury lay-offs of varying length. However, captain Ledley King is still.
SQUADS
Fulham:
Niemi, Warner, Keller, Volz, Baird, Stefanovic, Bocanegra, Davis, Smertin, Bouba, Davies, Healy, Dempsey, Konchesky, Kamara, John.
Tottenham:
Robinson, Chimbonda, Rocha, Zokora, Gardner, Lee, Taarabt, Malbranque, Jenas, Huddlestone, Bale, Berbatov, Keane, Defoe, Cerny, Stalteri, Lennon, Dawson, Kaboul, Bent.
After Tottenham's impresive dispaly against Man Unt i think Tottenham have to start winning, big boost for Martin Jol's team will be Lennon's come back, also Kaboul and Dawson will be back competing for the 2 starting position in the centre of defence.
Pick: Away win AH: 0 medium stake
Bolton Wanderers-Everton
TEAM NEWS
Bolton
Greek midfielder Stelios Giannakopoulos will still be missing following his summer hernia operation, but he is expected to return to training in the next few weeks. Andy O'Brien could be considered but Ricardo Gardner (hamstring) and Joey O'Brien (knee) are still out.
Everton
Yakubu is expected to feature after completing his £11.25million switch from Middlesbrough, but Andy Johnson is likely to retain his starting place in attack despite a goalless start to the season. Thomas Gravesen should also be in the Everton squad following the veteran Dane's one-year loan return to the club, but Tim Cahill and James Vaughan remain on the long-term injury list. With doubts over Alan Stubbs and Lee Carsley, Phil Jagielka is in line to make his full debut.
Squads
Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Meite, O'Brien, Cid, Samuel, Wilhelmsson, Nolan, Speed, McCann, Alonso, Braaten, Harasayni, Diouf, Anelka, Davies, Helguson, Al Habsi, Sinclair.
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Stubbs, Yobo, Lescott, Baines, Valente, Arteta, Carsley, Neville, Jagielka, Osman, Johnson, McFadden, Gravesen, Yakubu, Wessels, Pienaar.
Everton is one of the teams that is playing same style of football to last year's Big Sam Bolton.I expect a good debut by Yakubu for Everton, something which is needed by Everton because Andy Johnson hasn't yet open his Premiership accaunt.Gravesen should start the game because Lee Carsley is in doubt and he will partner Phil Neville.It will be a close game, but i think that Everton are more prepared for the win in this moment
Pick: Away win AH:0, medium stake here
Sheff Wed v Bristol City
New signings Akpo Sodje and Etienne Esajas could make their Sheffield Wednesday debuts at home to Bristol City on Saturday. Striker Sodje and winger Esajas arrived from Port Vale and Vitesse Arnhem respectively to boost the Owls. Steve Watson could also return to the starting line-up at Hillsborough after missing the defeat at Charlton last week and the midweek. Winger Wade Small (hamstring) and striker Leon Clarke (ill) are also back in contention, but Francis Jeffers remains sidelined due to the calf injury that has kept him out of the last two matches.Goalkeeper Lee Grant is expected to return in place of Rob Burch.Darren Byfield is available to make his debut for City.
Sheffield have lost all 3 of their games so far this season but they have play against strong opponents: Wolves, Charlton, Ipswich. They have very strong squad and before the start of the season the coach said that they will be looking for promotion this season, i don't know i they can do this, but i'm quite sure that they will win today, they have some impressive results in pre-season.
Pick: Home win (odds over 2), max stake
Middlesbrough v Birmingham
Squads
Middlesbrough: Schwarzer, Jones, Young, Woodgate, Wheater, Riggott, Taylor, Hines, Boateng, Arca, Rochemback, Downing, Tuncay, Cattermole, Johnson, Mido, Aliadiere.
Birmingham: Taylor, Kelly, Jaidi, Ridgewell, Parnaby, Kapo, Muamba, Djourou, McSheffrey, Jerome, Forssell, Doyle, Kingson, Sadler, Larsson, O'Connor, Nafti, Danns, Vine.
Maik Taylor will return to the starting line-up for Saturday's Premier League trip to Middlesbrough. Captain Damien Johnson, Daniel de Ridder, Franck Queudrue and Rafael Schmitz are all still ruled out but have returned to training and could feature after the international break against Bolton. Jonathan Woodgate returns to the Middlesbrough squad having been rested in midweek. Woodgate, like midfielder Julio Arca, was left out of the side for the 1-0 Carling Cup victory over Northampton, while striker Jeremie Aliadiere missed out after being knocked unconscious during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Newcastle. All three will return against Birmingham but Andrew Davies is not so fortunate and will sit out the match after suffering a head injury in the cup tie.
Middlesbrough deserved to win against Newcastle last week and i think today against an well-playing, but unexpirienced Birmingham side they have good chances. Middlesbrough will be playing with their optimal defenders, so i think they won't have problems like last week.
Pick: Home win (odds over 2), max stake here
