GK - Scott Carson (Charlton)
RB - Graeme Murty (Reading)
RCB - Jamie Carragher (Liverpool) - hopefully this is a return the fine form we've come to expect
LCB - Chris Morgan (Sheffield United)
LB - Nicky Shorey (Reading)
RM - Andy Reid (Charlton)
CM - Gilberto (Arsenal)
LM - Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
RF - Craig Bellamy (Liverpool)
CF - Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal)
LF - Kevin Doyle (Reading)
to Reading so far this season, they've gone about their business, made their home somewhat of a fortress, and everyone has found then far tougher than may have been expected. I can see them becoming a long-term fixture in the Premiership, and who knows, Europe next season? Maybe, but as Andy Gray said during Everton v West Ham - December is a crucial month.

So what matches to you think the BBC and Sky will show?
BBC get first, third and forth pick, Sky has second pick. Kick-off times for the live games are normally Saturday at 12.30pm and 5.45pm, and Sunday at either 1.15pm or 6.30pm on the BBC, while the Sky game is the normal 'Super Sunday' time of 4.00pm. Remember, the police have the call on the times, so London home games don't normally kick-off at any other time on Saturday but 3.00pm.
I reckon this is what they'll go for:
Liverpool v Arsenal - Saturday, 12.30pm BBC
Birmingham v Newcastle - Saturday, 5.45pm BBC
Man United v Aston Villa - Sunday, 4.00pm Sky
Everton v Blackburn - Sunday, 6.30pm BBC
