Everton to Meet Bolton While the Arsenal Play Against Chelsea Today

The race for Home Football league honours continues today with the programme containing many a match the outcome of which is virtually impossible to predict at this distance. One of the most interesting should be that between Everton, now at the head of the First Divisioh with sixteen points, and Bolton Wanderers, who are pressing, closely on the heels of the two. leading clubs.

The Arsenal, last year's league champions, are meeting Chelsea on the latter's ground. Last year Chela held the champions to a draw of 2 and with Arsenal looking a far weaker team this year, a home win should be predicted.

The full programme today follows with matches being played on the ground of the first-named club and the scores in parentheses giving last year's results.
