Synopsis
Colin Murray introduces highlights from the day's Premier League games, with Lee Dixon and Queens Park Rangers manager Neil Warnock offering their views on the action. Mick McCarthy's Wolves make the short trip to The Hawthorns for a Black Country derby with West Brom. Last season's corresponding fixture was the first time the two sides had met in the top flight since 1984, and it ended in a 1-1 draw as Roy Hodgson took charge of the Baggies for the first time. Arsenal meet Sunderland at The Emirates where last season the Black Cats held the Gunners to a hard earned goalless draw. This season both sides have struggled and need the points as they have not had the best of starts in the league. The day's third game sees Tottenham travel to Newcastle where the London side have not won since August 2004. Last season's meeting between the two at St James's Park ended in a 1-1 draw after Aaron Lennon's injury time strike cancelled out Fabricio Coloccini's goal.
