Follow all the action on what promises to be a thrilling night of Premier League football as Owen Coyle's Bolton host his former club Burnley, Champions League chasers Tottenham and Liverpool face Fulham and Wolves respectively and there's a basement clash between strugglers Portsmouth and West Ham. Sportsmail will keep you up-to-date with all the news from 7.30pm. [LNB] BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE  BOLTON 1 BURNLEY 0 PORTSMOUTH 1 WEST HAM 1 TOTTENHAM 2 FULHAM 0 WOLVES 0 LIVERPOOL 0     9.23: GOAL! DANNY WEBBER rolls the ball between Green's legs after a delightful through ball from John Utaka to bring Pompey level. A contentious one as James Tomkins took an elbow in the build up. [LNB]9.20: GOAL! DAVID BENTLEY doubles Spurs lead with a deflected free-kick. From just outside the corner of the box, his drive clipped Riise's head and looped into the far corner for his second goal of the season.[LNB]9.19: Hang your head Kevin Prince-Boateng. A positive run down  the right from John Utaka, his low square evaded everyone but Boateng's shot was terrible and went wide from 10 yards.[LNB]9.15: Liverpool are labouring at Molineux- in all honesty they have looked lacking in ideas tonight, despite Steven Gerrard returning there's a complete lack of urgency.[LNB]9.13: Opportunities for both sides at White Hart Lane. Bentley's cross was met by Palacios from 10 yards but his effort went wide and, seconds later, Duff's drive from the edge of the box went straight down Gomes' throat.[LNB]9.08: Chance for Portsmouth! Basinas' corner was met by Wilson, four yards out, but he's headed over the bar! What a miss. [LNB]9.05: We're back underway at Tottenham and Bolton.[LNB]9.03: The teams are back out at White Hart Lane and despite Ben Alnwick coming out at half time to warm up, Gomes has returned for the second half.[LNB]9.00: OWN GOAL! YOUNES KABOUL heads into his own net from Diamanti's cross to give West Ham the lead. Matthew Upson was lurking right behind him but the goal has been given to the Pompey player. We reckon it will be credited to Matthew Upson - after watching that goal back a few times.[LNB] Headed home: A combination of Upson and Kaboul put West Ham in front[LNB]8.58: In the Championship tonight, Nottingham Forest need to win by a margin of six to go top - they're currently beating QPR 4-0.[LNB]8.55: Chance for Liverpool. Riera's left-foot volley heading for the top corner has Hahnemann scrambling to paw it clear.[LNB]8.53: The games are back underway at Fratton Park and Molineux.[LNB]8.50: HALF TIME Spurs and Bolton both lead at home at the end of the first 45 minutes.  [LNB]8.43: Fulham haven't shown much since going behind but Spurs will certainly want to get at least another on the scoreboard against a side who have been woeful away this season and have just the one win at White Hart Lane since 1948.[LNB]8.39: The only worry for Bolton is that they're the only side in the Premier League without a clean sheet this season.[LNB]8.36: GOAL! CHUNG-YONG LEE half-volleys the Tortters into the lead. A fine move rounded off with the South Korean's 15 yard drive, in off the crossbar.[LNB] Goal: Peter Crouch prod Spurs into the lead at White Hart Lane[LNB]8.35: HALF TIME - the games at Molineux and Fratton Park have reached the break. [LNB] 8.32: Chris Eagles has just blazed over the bar for Burnley. You aren't missing anything in the games at Molineux or Fratton Park - tame stuff all-round this evening. [LNB]8.29: GOAL! PETER CROUCH prods Tottenham into the lead from five yards after Modric refused to give up on a ball that looked to be rolling out for a goal kick. He flicked it over his head inside the six yard box and the poked the ball towards Crouch who clipped it over Schwarzer.[LNB]8.25: Chance for Bolton! Cahill's meets a corner with a powerful header which flashes over the bar. Given the context of the game at the Reebok I'm surprised that so little has happened.[LNB] Red action: Lucas controls the ball at Molinueux [LNB]8.20: Liverpool have dominated the game at Molineux but Kevin Doyle has just gone close for Wolves. Jarvis' cross was met by Doyle's near-post flick but Insua was there to clear as the ball headed goalwards.[LNB]8.16: Despite all the Spurs possession, man of the moment Chris Smalling hasn't had a great deal to in the Fulham defence. This was meant to be a great opportunity to run the rule over the player who has signed a deal to join Manchester United at the end of the season.[LNB]8.12: At White Hart Lane it been all Spurs but Zamora has just gone close after failing to latch on to a deft touch into the six yard box form Gera but Gomes dived low to snatch the ball as the Fulham striker lurked.[LNB]8.09: What a save! It's all happening at Fratton Park - Wonderful move down the right, Nouble and Collison shared a smart one-two and the midfielder looked to bend his shot into the far corner but Begovic stuck out a hand low to his left to direct around the upright.[LNB] Going close: Collison's shot was well save by Begovic[LNB]8.05: How has he missed that? Pompey really should lead Hreidarsson's cross goes just past Piquionne's boot as he slid in.[LNB]8.03: And Spurs go close inside the first minute - twice! Tom Huddlestone sees two long drives well saved by Schwarzer. Lively! [LNB]8.02: The games at White Hart Lane and the Reebok are underway. [LNB]7.58: And I'm hearing that there are quite a few banners in the away end at the Reebok - none of them are too complimentary about Owen Coyle as the Burnley fans get the opportunity to show their feelings about their former manager's move across the north-west (see below).[LNB]7.51: No goals in the games that have started this evening but Liverpool are doing all the pressing in the game at Molineux and Behrami has driven a shot miles over the Pompey crossbar. [LNB]7.45: The games at Fratton Park and Molineux are underway.[LNB] Angry fans: Burnley supporters show how they feel about Owen Coyle[LNB]7.39: To White Hart Lane for the news ahead of the Spurs v Fulham clash: Youngster Chris Smalling starts for Fulham just  hours after it was announced Manchester United had agreedterms to sign him for next season.[LNB]Bobby Zamora and Kagisho Dikgacoi are the other changes from the side that defeated Accrington Stanley, with Stephen Kelly not in the squad and Toni Kallioon the bench.[LNB]Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has made radical changes following the FA Cup draw against Leeds, with David Bentley handed a return to the starting XI after being left out of the matchday squad at the weekend.[LNB]Ledley King, Vedran Corluka, Wilson Palacios and Tom Huddlestone also return,with Alan Hutton, Sebastien Bassong, Danny Rose, Niko Kranjcar and JermaineJenas miss out.[LNB]Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Dawson, King, Bale, Bentley, Huddlestone, Palacios, Modric, Crouch, Defoe.
