Duration: 1 hour, 10 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland

Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's Premier League games. There is a midday kick-off at the Reebok Stadium where Bolton Wanderers take on Manchester United. The Red Devils have won their last five games against the Trotters and cruised to a 4-0 victory in this fixture in March, courtesy of a brace from Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov.

Aston Villa make the short trip to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers. Both of last season's meetings ended in draws, meaning it is now over 30 years since Wolves beat the Villans. Can Mick McCarthy's men finally get an elusive win against their near neighbours?

The day's third game sees Stoke head north to Newcastle in search of their first win at St James' Park since 1976. Tony Pulis's side have established themselves as dangerous opponents at the Britannia Stadium but if the Potters are to push on they will need to improve their away record. However, the Magpies are themselves a formidable team on home turf - they did not lose a single home game as they clinched promotion from the Championship last season. Show less
