Bolton 0-0 Fulham
KO: 3pm (GMT)
Venue: Reebok Stadium
Verdict: As we have said before recently in this column, Fulham are rolling the dice at the moment to decide whether they are gonna be mid-table wannabes or, worse still, get dragged into an extended relegation mire.
Last week's home defeat to Aston Villa was as depressing for Fulham fans as it was inevitable.
With a losing streak extended, it is difficult to see a trip away to Bolton being anything other than an extension of their woes.
Advice: 3pts Bolton to win at 13/10 (2.3 generally)

Burnley 2-1 West Ham
KO: 3pm (GMT)
Venue: Blundell Park
Verdict: Burnley will survive this season only on the back of a strong home record - and it's going to be close!
Full marks for their enterprise against an in-form Chelsea side last week, and they will need to reproduce only a fraction of that performance to get one over a West Ham side still not in full grip of its faculties.
Advice: 1pt Burnley to win at 8/5 (2.6 at Bet365, Stan James and William Hill)

Manchester United 5-0 Portsmouth
KO: 3pm (GMT)
Venue: Old Trafford
