Synopsis

Adrian Chiles presents highlights of the day's Barclays Premier League programme, which features four games.

Top of the bill is Manchester United's visit to Chelsea, which even at this stage in the season could have a major impact on the destination of the title. The teams met in the Community Shield back in August, with the Blues prevailing on penalties, in a reversal of fortunes of the 2008 Champions League final when United won on spot-kicks on a rainy night in Moscow. Sir Alex Ferguson's side took four points from the six available against Chelsea last season, including a convincing 3-0 win at Old Trafford in January.

Stoke were at Hull, where they have an excellent record, having won on three of their last four visits to the KC Stadium, the most recent of which secured their Premier League status last season.

West Ham will be keen to make amends for the amazing turnaround the last time they hosted Everton - the Hammers led 1-0 until seven minutes from time, but three goals in four extraordinary minutes saw Everton leave Upton Park with a 3-1 victory.

The day's other game pitted Wigan against Fulham at the DW Stadium. Draws have been scarce in this season's Premier League but the two clubs have shared the points in four out of the last five meetings.
