Fulham v Manchester City: Fulham boss Mark Hughes looks relaxed as his team prepare to face the club which sacked him nearly a year ago after 18 months in charge
Argentine football legend Diego Maradona joins the crowd at Craven Cottage, who will be hoping for a home win against City for the first time in five years
But it's the visitors who start more brightly, Carlos Tevez driving a fierce shot past Mark Schwarzer into the bottom corner to open the scoring after five minutes
Pablo Zabaleta, another of Maradona's compatriots, doubles the lead for City on the half-hour, pouncing on a poor clearance from Damien Duff and firing a rocket into the back of the net from 22 yards
The visitors are in total control, their superior possession and smooth passing play paying off again minutes later as Yaya Toure finishes off a lovely move by Carlos Tevez, Jo and David Silva
Fulham's players are a picture of dejection after conceding four, their failure to clear a corner costing them after Zabaleta pings the ball back into the penalty box for Carlos Tevez to score his second
Zoltan Gera finds the back of the net with 20 minutes left, but it's scant consolation for Fulham and Mark Hughes, whose comprehensive loss sees them stuck in 17th spot whilst the victors climb into the top four
Blackburn v Aston Villa: Indian businessmen Venkatesh (left) and Belaji Rao wave to the crowd at Ewood Park ahead of Sunday's match against Aston Villa following their �43m takeover of the club
Former Arsenal winger Robert Pires is on the bench for Aston Villa's trip to Blackburn on Sunday after joining the club last week
Pires, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, signed for Villa on Thursday on a six-month contract after being released by Spanish club Villarreal in the summer
It's a predictably tight battle in the first half with both teams fighting to impose themselves on the game
Blackburn employ a predictably direct approach with Villa keeper Brad Friedel having to be at his best to deal with a constant barrage of high balls into his penalty area
Morten Gamst Pedersen gives Blackburn the lead on the stroke of half-time from a free-kick on the right flank, which Brad Friedel gets a hand to but fails to keep out
Pedersen makes it two on 66 minutes, pouncing on a stinging shot across the face of goal from Ryan Nelsen to deflect the shot into the net from five yards out
