2:33	Robin Hackett - Hello and welcome to our MatchDay live coverage. Feel free to offer up any questions and views and I'll do what I can to share your thoughts.

2:35

Robin Hackett - We have four 3pm kick-offs - Tottenham v Sunderland, Manchester City v Burnley, Aston Villa v Bolton and Blackburn v Portsmouth - followed by the ESPN UK live match at 17.30 as Wolves host Arsenal. I'll try to keep you abreast of any shocks in the FA Cup and interesting news in the Championship.

2:36	Robin Hackett - Speaking of the Championship, Swansea are on the verge of beating Cardiff 3-2 in a cracking South Wales derby.

2:37	Robin Hackett - Let's kick off with a bit of team news. Stephen Ireland starts for Manchester City in a line-up that also includes Craig Bellamy, Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor. Clearly, four draws on the trot is upsetting Mark Hughes and he fancies a win at home to Burnley.

2:38	Robin Hackett - Burnley have Andre Bikey in midfield, so will probably be looking for a draw.

2:38	Robin Hackett - Tottenham are also adopting an attacking approach, with Robbie Keane apparently starting on the left of midfield and Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe up front.

2:39	Robin Hackett - Sunderland have plumped for youngster Jordan Henderson alongside Kieran Richardson in central midfield. They're without Lee Cattermole, Bolo Zenden and the suspended Lorik Cana. Darren Bent and Fraizer Campbell are in attack, as expected.

2:40	Robin Hackett - Blackburn have gone for Franco Di Santo up front on his own with David Dunn in behind again. Didn't work against United last week, but that's not to say it won't at home to Portsmouth.

2:41	Robin Hackett - Portsmouth are pretty much as you'd expect, with Frederic Piquionne in attack with Aruna Dindane. Nadir Belhadj is on the bench.

2:42	Robin Hackett - Villa are also much as you'd expect, with John Carew and Gabriel Agbonlahor in attack. Bolton have just Kevin Davies up front as Gary Megson looks for a recovery after the 4-0 thumping against Chelsea last week.
