Premier League preview: Chelsea vs. Manchester United

Premier League match time returns to Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Manchester United, in an initial match on Tuesday, March 1, a match originally scheduled to be played on December 19 and postponed due to of bad weather.

Chelsea’s match against Fulham should be all about Torres, who replaced Drogba in the starting eleven as the primary striker for the Stamford Bridge team. While preferring Torres to Drogba, Chelsea gave greater control in midfield. Fulham were determined as always in defense and Chelsea failed to convert the half chances they had to show for all their superior possession.

David Lutz used the game to show his considerable skill. The Brazilian had more creativity than the entire midfield combined, and his only fault was an outburst on Dempsey in injury time, which resulted in a penalty kick for Fulham, which Dempsey himself took. And Cech made a brilliant save to prevent Lutz’s lone mistake from taking away from his amazing performance. The loss of two points has made Chelsea’s title defense an impossible mirage.

In their match against Wigan in match week 28, United were off-color until Hernandez put them ahead in 17 minutes. Meanwhile, Wigan created a couple of scoring chances and the Old Trafford team have Van der Sar to thank for not letting Wigan convert any of เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์.

Rooney was lucky that he was not sent off for what looked like a deliberate elbow by James McCarthy in the 10th minute. The iconic striker had a hand in 3 of the 4 goals, of which the third scored. The first goal that happened after his pass to Nani (absolutely brilliant on the day) on the right flank was passed to Hernandez, who converted. Hernandez scored another goal in 74 minutes; Rooney made it 3-0 in 84 minutes, and three minutes later Fabio finished the count with United’s fourth goal of the game. The result has given United 4 points free for Arsenal at the top of the table and 15 points from Chelsea, who are in 5th place.

Head to head, from the last league matches between Chelsea and Manchester United, the Stamford Bridge team has won 3, while United have won 2, with the remaining game drawn.

In their last 6 league games, Chelsea have recorded 3 wins, 2 losses and draws, while Manchester United have 5 of their last 6 games, while losing the rest. Chelsea have won 8 out of 12 home games this season, while losing and drawing 2 each. Manchester United have 4 lost 1, while pulling the remaining 8 out of 13 games on the road.

In their last Premier League match, Chelsea left 0-0 away at Fulham, while Manchester United’s last match, away at Wigan, ended 4-0 in their favor.

In the defending champions, Manchester United can expect tougher opponents than the basement team Wigan. But in its current form, it would be a steep challenge for Chelsea to take a full three points away from Tuesday’s match.

Chelsea’s starting eleven against Fulham consisted of: Cech, Ivanovic, David Lutz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Anelka, Torres and Malouda. Drogba and Kalou played as substitutes.

Arsenal beat Fulham as the top match in the Premier League

Two great goals from Samir Nasri secured first place in the Premier League for Arsenal when they beat Fulham at the Emirates Stadium. The performance was far from convincing, however, as Arsenal, who had lost their last two home games, lost a host of opportunities that could have put the game before half time.

Fulham, who remains above the Premier League relegation zone by goal difference alone, would not turn around and give Arsenal an early Christmas present, as many had expected. Fulham played good football and occasionally threatened to move into the fourth squad to win at the Emirates Stadium this season.

It was Nasri, who should have scored in the 13th minute, who opened the score after 14 minutes with sublime skill. He danced past two defenders and hit the ball past Mark Schwarzer into the Fulham goal.

Arsenal then wasted some great opportunities to extend their lead after Schwarzer made a great save from Arshavin’s shot and denied him again moments later. Alex Song and Marouane Chamakh then both wasted great scoring opportunities for Arsenal.

Fulham equalized to the turn of events after a sickening clash of heads between Sébastien Squillaci and Laurent Koscielny in the Arsenal defense, which took Koscielny off on a stretcher, the ball fell to Clint Dempsey who dodged two challenges to get the ball home . Both teams had opportunities to take the lead before the break, but the score remained 1-1 at half time.

Arsenal got off to a good start in the second half, but as the minutes passed Fulham started to believe more they could score a winning goal, but it was Nasri who scored again for Arsenal with a stunning goal, to give the Gunners a 2-1 victory . The Frenchman has now scored 11 goals this season and Arsenal are now at the top of the Premier League by one point after Manchester United’s game in Blackpool was postponed.

Arsenal could again be accused of being too elaborate and a poor finish to goal could ultimately cost them the title. Fulham, meanwhile, may find themselves a bit unlucky not to finish the game by at least one point, as they kept pressing the Gunners until the final whistle. Fulham has now been without a win since the opening day of the 2009-2010 season, and even the short trip through London was a trip too เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์.

Chelsea’s poor form continues as Arsenal at the top of the Premier League

Chelsea’s poor form in the Premier League continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home against a particular Everton team. Captain John Terry returned to the side after injury, but he could not inspire the team to a much-needed victory. Didier Drogba scored a penalty for Chelsea after Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard had dismissed Nicolas Anelka and many home fans thought he should have been sent off. Everton fought back in the second half and Jermaine Beckford headed an equalizer four minutes from time, Chelsea have now won just one of their last six league games.

When Manchester United’s match in Blackpool was postponed due to a frozen pitch, Arsenal took full advantage and moved to the top of the Premier League with a hard fought 2-1 victory over Fulham, the game was turned by two big goals from Samir Nasri, while Arsenal were again guilty of overtime and extravagance in front of เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์.

After a tense week in Manchester City, things looked more harmonious on the pitch as they beat Bolton 1-0, with Carlos Tevez scoring the goal after just four minutes. City could and probably should have scored more goals. The match was not without drama when Aleksandar Kolarov was sent off for the home side and when Tevez was replaced towards the end of the game, he confronted manager Roberto Mancini on the sidelines.

Birmingham are a formidable side at home but Tottenham will feel they were wasting a golden opportunity after conceding a late goal as they drew 1-1. Gareth Bale was once again in outstanding form and he enabled Sebastien Bassong to give Spurs a 1-0 lead, only for Craig Gardner to equalize for Birmingham in the 82nd minute.

An entertaining game in Wigan saw them draw 2-2 with Stoke with all the goals in the first half as the home side bounced back twice after falling behind the visitors.

Blackburn, who had lost 7-1 at Manchester United last week, put their nightmare behind them when they beat Wolves 3-0, although the result line was likely flattering for the home side if goalkeeper Paul Robison made some fine saves to prevent the Wolves from to score.

West Bromwich Albion continued their fine form with a 3-1 home win for Newcastle, who have subsequently fired their manager Chris Houghton, the directors feel the club need a manager with more experience. Houghton had successfully led the club back to the Premier League and they are currently 11th in the table.

Sunderland ended West Ham United’s mini-revival with a 1-0 win, which sees them resume the enviable 20th place in the league table. West Ham’s performance was encouraging as both teams had enough chances to win the match.

Gérard Houllier’s return to Anfield on Monday ended in disappointment as his Aston Villa side fell to a 3-0 defeat. Liverpool without Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres, were never disturbed by Villa, although Houllier received a warm welcome back from Liverpool fans, following his resignation in 2004.

Premier League match time: Blackpool against Liverpool

Premier League match time begins at Bloomfield Road as Blackpool are ready to host Liverpool on 12 January.

This is another leg meeting between the sides that was originally scheduled to be held on December 26 and was postponed due to snow. Blackpool played the first leg away at Anfield on October 3, winning that game 2-1. Blackpool took the lead in the 29th minute via an Adam penalty, and Varney doubled the lead at the break. And although Kyrgiakos reduced the lead eight minutes after the interval, the Reds could not break down a hard Blackpool defense in the second half and Ian Holloway’s divisions ran out of winners.

The game was in central midfield for Blackpool by Adam and Vaughan, and Merseysider’s losses could be partly attributed to a heavy toll taken by the then current management battle at Anfield. Liverpool have since come out of the relegation zone with some honorable performances, but one thing that has not changed is that their manager Hodgson’s head is on the block, all the more so after the defeat at Ewood Park to เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์.

The first leg meeting on October 3 was the only occasion the sides met in a league match. Ranked 13th in the standings, Blackpool have not had a very good home ground in their debut season, having only won 2 out of 7 games hosted, while losing 3 and drawing the remaining 2. This is matched by Liverpool’s poor away consisting of 7 wins in 10 games on the road while drawing 2 and winning only one game.

Blackpool, who have had 4 wins and 3 losses in their last 10 league games, come into this match with 2 defeats on trot, the last being a 2-1 defeat against Birmingham in match week 22. Liverpool have had 4 wins and 5 losses in their last 10 games, including a 3-1 away loss to Blackburn. In its current form, Blackpool seem to have the edge, but Liverpool, where Gerrard and Torres are starting to combine well and Maxi is starting to score consistently, are likely to test Blackpool’s defense, which has recently been porous.

Blackpool had the following men in their starting eleven in Game 22 against Birmingham: Kingson, Eardley, Cathcart, Evatt, Crainey, Vaughan, Campbell, Adam, Phillips, Varney and Taylor-Fletcher. Southern, Ormerod and Euell highlighted as substitutes.

The following men were in Liverpool’s start eleven against Blackburn in match week 22: Reina, Johnson, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky, Cole, Gerrard, Lucas, Maxi, Torres and Ngog. Babel, Agger and Kuyt were used as substitutes.
