MU seek first win

Manchester United are looking to Carlos Tevez to kick-start their English Premier League title defence as Chelsea seek to keep their winning ways in Wednesday's second round of matches.
United were to throw Argentina striker Tevez into action at Portsmouth in place of injury victim Wayne Rooney as Chelsea travel to Reading looking for a second straight win - but without the shaky defending.
Meanwhile Sven-Goran Eriksson takes charge of his first Premier League home match as Manchester City welcome newly promoted Derby County.
Tevez, not 100 percent match fit, is being rushed into the match at Fratton Park to fill in for England striker Rooney, who fractured his left foot in the 0-0 draw at home to Reading in their opening Premier League game Sunday.
The new signing from West Ham, after a protracted and complicated transfer, is disappointed he will not get to play alongside Rooney for two months.
"Losing Wayne is a big blow because obviously he is a great player. But at a big club like Manchester United you have lots of individuals who can hopefully slot in and do that job."
Pompey boss Harry Redknapp has got the better of United in his past three seasons in charge at Fratton Park - but fears the fixture schedule has not been kind to them so far.
"The best time to play United, Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea is on a Saturday when they have a Champions League game mid-week," he grumbled.
Chelsea, without talismanic captain John Terry, looked unsteady in defence as they beat newly promoted Birmingham City 3-2 on Saturday.
And Reading proved they are a tough side to break down in Sunday's creditable draw at Manchester United, and could deploy the same man-marking tactics.
Peru striker Claudio Pizzarro, who equalised for his new club Chelsea against Birmingham, said he hoped to keep his place at the Madejski Stadium and feels under pressure to keep scoring.
"I am working hard for that and know there is a lot of competition. Jose (Mourinho the manager) just told me to play the way I have been playing."
Reading's USA goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann is happy to settle for goalless draws against top teams.
"We didn't score or create much but that's dictated by how good they are. Nil-nil is so much more special," he said.
Eriksson will probably receive a hero's welcome at Eastlands following Saturday's stylish 2-0 win at West Ham, which featured several of his signings in a new-look team.
But five homegrown players were in the starting line-up, including midfielder Stephen Ireland.
"We can score goals from anywhere, and it's really exciting for me to play in a team like this," the 20-year-old said.
"We're a passing team, and the more we play together the better.
"We can be positive going into Wednesday's game against Derby. I just hope we can be strong and take three points off them as well."
Sunderland are looking to keep up their perfect start at Birmingham, who pushed them close for the Championship title last season.
Dickson Etuhu, one of five players who made their Sunderland debuts in Saturday's 1-0 win over visitors Tottenham, insisted there was plenty more to come from the Black Cats.
"I thought we worked well together, considering that we are still getting used to each other," the midfielder said.
"Saturday's win has given us more confidence and we'll go to Birmingham with the belief that we can get something from the game."
El-Hadji Diouf could play for Bolton at Fulham as fellow strikers Kevin Davies (hamstring) and Ricardo Vaz Te (foot) are both ruled out.
The volatile Senegal striker demanded talks with the Trotters' boss Sammy Lee and chairman Phil Gartside after being left out for Saturday's 3-1 defeat at home to Newcastle.
"Diouf is always talking to me and I am pleased he is disappointed," Lee said.
"I can understand his frustration. But I want competition for places.
"It is important people are always looking over their shoulders and being spurred on by other players."
Fulham, beaten 2-1 at Arsenal on Sunday, will want to get off to a better start at their Craven Cottage home.
Middlesbrough, who lost 2-1 at home to Blackburn on Saturday, are looking to bounce back against Wigan, who lost by the same score at Everton.
But England winger Stewart Downing, who scored Boro's goal, is looking for a more ruthless attitude away at the JJB Stadium.
"We've got to kill teams off and obviously we haven't learnt to do that yet. We need to put teams under pressure," he said.
"But we've got the Wigan game coming up very quickly now and we can put things right."
