PREMIER LEAGUE LIVE: All the action from today's top flight clashes
BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE BOLTON 0 BLACKBURN 2STOKE v PORTSMOUTH 4pmTOTTENHAM 1 WIGAN 0 3.19: We'll have four minutes added on at the Reebok. [LNB]3.16: Jacobsen clears off the line! Nelsen mistimed a header and let Klasnic in around the back but the big Dane cleared as the ball was prodded towards an empty net. [LNB]3.13: Blackburn replace Dunn with Grella - Bolton are making a good fist of this but they haven't managed a clear-cut opportunity. Gary Megson cuts a very lonely figure on the touchline. [LNB]3.08: GOAL! Tottenham have taken an early lead against Wigan and it's Peter Crouch who has headed them in front. Good work from Lennon who crossed for the lofty striker to stoop and head home. [LNB]3.05: Great save from Jaaskelainen. Emerton weaved his way into the box from the right and tried to guide the ball into the corner but a firm palm sent it away. [LNB]3.02: GOAL! Ricketts own goal. And it's a real comedy one. A lofted pass from Emerton was heading harmlessly towards Jaaskelainen who had ventured just out side his box but Ricketts was unaware and nodded the ball past his stranded 'keeper. Surely there should have been a name on that ball?[LNB]2.59: Changes from both sides - It's Klasnic Lee Chung-Yong, and Mark Davies ON - Elmander, Gardner and McCann OFF. For Rovers McCarthy is on for Di Santo. [LNB]2.53: Off the line! By McCann - again! Nelsen rose above Davies and Roberts flicked on but McCann was there to nod clear. Get that man a bonus![LNB] Off the line: McCann heads clear after Roberts effort on goal[LNB]2.52: Great chance for Di Santo! Played neatly through by Dunn but Jaaskelainen stayed big to keep the ball out. Corner. [LNB]2.48: Whisper it quietly but this has become quite an entertaining game! Unrecognisable from the first half. [LNB]2.43: Now it's Kevin Davies' turn to waste a fine opportunity. Samuel's cross flew into the box but Chimbonda declined to head it away but Davies's header bounced in front of Robinson and flew wide. [LNB]2.39: Gardner wastes a glorious chance. Ricketts broke down the left and cut back but Gardner mistimed his effort and it hit his standing foot - a little embarrassing. [LNB]2.37: Off the line! Diouf slams the ball goalwards and Jaaskelainen was beaten but McCann was stationed on the post and headed over the bar. Great clearance. [LNB]2.35: No changes to either side and we're back underway at the Reebok. [LNB] Bolton's best: Gardner has a strike on goal as Chimbonda closes him down[LNB]2.31: So Robbie Keane is on the bench for the clash against Wigan at White Hart Lane following his World Cup efforts with Republic of Ireland in midweek.[LNB]Spurs welcome back Aaron Lennon after the winger's ankle injury, replacing Jermaine Jenas, while Michael Dawson was drafted in because Ledley King was out with a hamstring problem.[LNB]Niko Kranjcar was also recalled, while midfielder Wilson Palacios made hisfirst appearance against the club he left in January.[LNB]Wigan boss Roberto Martinez named the team that drew against Fulham last time out.[LNB]2.30: Over at White Hart Lane the teams have been announced. Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Dawson, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Huddlestone, Palacios, Kranjcar, Defoe, Crouch. Subs: Alnwick, Hutton, Bentley, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Bassong. Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Bramble, Boyce, Edman, Thomas, Diame, N'Zogbia, Scharner, Rodallega, Scotland. Subs: Pollitt, Cho, Koumas, Gomez, Sinclair, Kapo, Figueroa. [LNB]2.25: HALF TIME. A drab opening half hour was followed by a lively last 15 minutes after Dunn had - thankfully - broken the deadlock. Bolton have shown plenty of ambition but as it stands, Blackburn are in real danger of actually winning an away game![LNB]2.20: Mike Dean blows his whistle and so that'll be half time. [LNB] Great goal: Dunn asks for Mike Dean's opinion on his first-half strike[LNB]2.19: Great chance for Taylor! Totally unmarked at the near post he got a firm head on the ball when it needed just a soft touch to guide it in. A wonderful opportunity to level things just before the break. [LNB]2.18: We'll have three minutes added on at the end of this half. [LNB]2.17: Muamba is a lucky boy to remain on the pitch after raising his hands in a clash with David Dunn. Both players receive yellow cards for what is known in footballing circles as 'handbags.' [LNB]2.13: Elmander breaks down the wing, looks up, and plays a fantastic ball in the box to ... no one. Not a single white shirt within 10 yards of the box. [LNB]2.08: Givet picked up a knock early in the game and has failed to shake it off so Jacobsen enters the fray. Chimbonda has moved over to centre back, Jacobsen goes to the right.[LNB]2.03: That's really tough on Bolton who had almost taken the lead with Taylor's freekick but plaudits must go to Robinson who released quickly to Di Santo - the link up with Roberts was neat but Dunn's finish was really classy. [LNB]2.00: GOAL! David Dunn puts Rovers ahead with a delightful finish.[LNB] Fine finish: Dunn sweeps the ball past the Bolton 'keeper to put Rovers in front[LNB]1.59: Taylor hits the crossbar! His freekick was deflected by Nelsen and had left Robinson no chance. [LNB]1.57: In the context of this rather drab game, the following actually rates as a highlight - Taylor crossed for Gardner but the delivery was too high. Yep, it's that kinda game. [LNB]1.52: Cahill clears off the line! David Dunn muscles Cahill off the ball and headed goalwards over Jaaskelainen but the centre back cleared just in time. Some action at last! [LNB]1.45: Penalty? Kevin Davies is fuming as Mike Dean waves away his appeals after Gael Givet's sliding challenge saw his hand roll over the ball. That would have been very harsh - Givet may be French but that was no Thierry Henry moment. [LNB]1.42: Bolton show some desire for the first time this afternoon but their swift counter-attack ends with Taylor's floated cross drifting harmlessly out. [LNB]1.37: All a little messy so far - A game defined by it's lack of quality. Having said that Dunn and Di Santo have both had drives from distance deflected out for corners - Rovers have lost ten on the bounce away from home. Not what you'd call sparkling form![LNB]1.31: We're underway - can a managerless Blackburn do the unthinkable - and win an away game? [LNB] Kicking out: Samba clashes with Davies at the Reebok[LNB]1.30: The teams are out at the Reebok - we'll have football for you in just a moment! Excellent. [LNB]1.28: So Bolton manager Gary Megson made four changes to his side for the derby clash with Blackburn. Megson has decided to shake up his team following the 5-1 thumping by Aston Villa in their last match before the recent international break.[LNB]Jlloyd Samuel and Andy O'Brien returned to the defence while Gavin McCann and Johan Elmander were also included.[LNB]With Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce preparing to have heart surgery, hisassistant Neil McDonald takes charge.[LNB]They have made one change to the side that beat Portsmouth with Jason Robertscoming in for Morten Gamst Pedersen.[LNB]1.25: The team at the Reebok are in ... Bolton: Jaaskelainen, Ricketts, Cahill, Andrew O'Brien, Samuel, Taylor, Muamba, McCann, Gardner, Elmander, Kevin Davies. Subs: Al Habsi, Knight, Steinsson, Mark Davies, Klasnic, Lee, Basham.Blackburn: Robinson, Chimbonda, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Dunn, Nzonzi, Emerton, Diouf, Di Santo, Roberts. Subs: Brown, Jacobsen, McCarthy, Grella, Andrews, Kalinic, Salgado.[LNB]1.15pm: Good afternoon and welcome to Sportsmail's coverage off all today's Barclays Premier League clashes. [LNB]Our main focus will be at the Reebok and then the Britannia stadium but we'll keep you up to date with all the action from White Hart Lane as well. [LNB]The weather is miserable but we're hoping the north west derby can bring some sunshine to a rather drab Sunday afternoon as Blackburn Rovers travel to Bolton without their manager Sam Allardyce who is preparing to have heart surgery.
