Manchester United vs Liverpool Preview

Team News

Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson will be unable to count with the services of a host of players, including Anders Lindegaard and Phil Jones, both with ankle injuries, and Michael Owen, with a thigh problem. Other players who have been discarded for the clash are Tom Cleverley and Portuguese midfielder Nani.

Ferguson will likely provide Javier Hernandez with a starting role, after the Mexican international made a real impact when he entered the field against Chelsea last week, and ended up scoring United's late equaliser. Veteran midfielder Paul Scholes also played a key role in United's revival at Stamford Bridge and could start the game from the kick-off.

Chelsea vs Manchester United: Five tips the Red Devils should follow to win at Stamford Bridge

The Red Devils may have had the upper hand over their rivals at Stamford Bridge over the years, but this has changed dramatically over the last decade as since the 2002-03 Premier League season Sir Alex Ferguson's side haven't won a single game at the venue after nine attempts.

Chelsea have been dominant at the Bridge, after having obtained six wins and three draws over United during this period in official Premier League games.

However, with three defeats in eleven home games this season, beating Chelsea at the Bridge may not be impossible any more. United have barely lost a single away game this season, and if they manage to find gaps in the leaky Chelsea defence they are more than capable of returning to Old Trafford with the three points.

Chelsea vs Manchester United Live on Fox Network in USA

FOX is expecting big returns on broadcasting a major EPL clash on the FOX Network which is widely available throughout the US on Terrestrial, Satellite and Cable Television. This is the second match in as many weeks that FOX airs a live Barclays Premier League match. The first was on January 22nd which drew record television audiences in the US with apx 1.3 million US viewers as American soccer fans watched Arsenal lose to Manchester United 1-2 at home.

The live coverage of Chelsea-Man United will be presented by Rob Stone, former U.S. Men’s National Team player Eric Wynalda and CNN's Piers Morgan. Repeat airings of this match will be available at 7:00PM and 11:00PM (EST) on Fox Soccer Channel.

Manchester City vs Fulham Preview

Manchester City must recover from their crucial defeat to Everton. The Citizens got punished by a former Manchester United boy, Darron Gibson. His goal proved to be the difference at Goodison Park on Tuesday night.

Roberto Mancini and his men are leveled on points with Man United at the top of the English Premier League standings. Both teams have 54 points after 23 games. The Red Devils might stumble away to Chelsea this weekend so Manchester City can look forward to seizing their opportunities this weekend.

Meanwhile, Fulham will need to overcome the psychological blow of losing key player Sidwell to a long-term injury. Martin Jol confirmed the news on Thursday by stating the following according to ESPN:

Manchester United vs Stoke City Preview

The Red Devils are aiming to evaporate the 3-point gap that puts them behind league leaders Manchester City. However, expect eighth-placed Stoke City to apply pressure on Ferguson’s outfit at Old Trafford tonight.

Stoke City encountered defeat in their latest English Premier League fixture but they should find hope and confidence through a few things ahead of Tuesday night’s battle at Old Trafford. Firstly, the Potters are going into the game fresh from their convincing 2-0 win over Derby in the FA Cup Fourth Round. Manchester United, meanwhile, are carrying the wound of their 2-1 loss to Liverpool.

Everton vs Manchester City Preview

Everton have 26 points like thirteenth-placed Swansea City and twelfth-placed Fulham. The Toffees are not yet into a relegation battle situation as they are 8 points above the bottom zone.

Pushing into the top half of the English Premier League table, however, seems very demanding for Everton. They've drawn their last 2 games in the league and they are not the favorites to triumph at Goodison Park on Tuesday night.

The good news for Manchester City is that Vincent Kompany is back from suspension. The Belgium defender received a lengthy ban for his challenge during City’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United earlier in January.

Swansea City vs Chelsea Preview

Andre Villas-Boas definitely needs to inspire his men in the absence of Ivorian stars Drogba and Kalou. The away record of the London-based club is quite inconsistent this season. Out of 11 away matches, Chelsea have won 5, drawn 4 and lost 2.

Chelsea are unbeaten domestically since the year commenced but they are eager to bounce back from their disappointing goalless draw away to Norwich City.

Fourth-placed Chelsea are 5 points behind Tottenham Hotspur. Although the title seems far from their reach, the Blues maintain the ambition of gaining as much points as possible.

England Premier League Preview: Week 21 (Jan 11-14)

Tottenham are currently three points behind league leading Manchester City, who do not play until Monday. Wolves are currently one point above the relegation zone after a seven game winless run.

Manchester United are currently level on points with Tottenham, and can also move into a tie for first place if they beat struggling Bolton Wanderers. Bolton currently sit in the relegation zone and are one point adrift of safety.

In other action, Blackburn Rovers can climb off the bottom of the Premier League table with a win or draw when they play host to Fulham on Saturday.

Blackburn are currently three points adrift of safety after losing their last two games, while Fulham are seven points clear of the relegation zone after beating Arsenal 2-1 last time out.

Chelsea’s Juan Mata backs Villas-Boas and Torres as Blues maintain hopes for glory

The 23-year-old Spanish midfielder can look down at this individual performance at Chelsea with pride. The former Valencia play maker has already provided 9 assists and scored 5 goals in 23 appearances for the Blues. However, his good form has been overshadowed by the entire team’s flaws from a general point of view.

“It's true we've had a little crisis of results,” Juan Mata admitted before reiterating his belief in Chelsea’s criticized manager.

“But Villas-Boas is doing things very well and both the players and the club have a lot of confidence in him. He won everything with Porto last year.”

England Premier League Preview: Week 20 (Jan 2-4)

United are three points behind league leading Manchester City after being beaten 3-2 by Blackburn Rovers last time out, but have played a game less than the Citizens.

Newcastle have fallen to seventh place in the table after winning one of their last eight games.

These two teams met at Old Trafford back on November 26th, when a second half Demba Ba penalty snatched a 1-1 draw for Newcastle.

In the other game of the day, Bolton Wanderers will be looking for a win to lift themselves off the bottom of the table when they travel to face Everton.

Last placed Bolton are four points adrift of safety after drawing 1-1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out. Everton can move into the top half of the table with a win or draw, and will enter this fixture looking to extend a four game unbeaten run.

England Premier League Preview: Week 19 (Dec 30 - Jan 1)

City currently sit top of the Premier League, but are above second placed Manchester United on goal difference alone having played a game less. United slipped up on New Year’s Eve when they were beaten 3-2 at Old Trafford by relegation strugglers Blackburn Rovers.

Sunderland are three points clear of the relegation zone and will be looking to make this their third game without tasting defeat.

In the other game of the day, West Bromwich Albion will play host to Everton with both teams knowing a win will lift them into the top half of the table.

West Brom currently sit in 11th place in the Premier League, while Everton are one place and one point behind them. Both teams will enter this game in good form, and will be looking to extend a three game unbeaten run.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in fight to win their last game of the year 2011

Remarkably, Liverpool have never lost at Anfield in the league but they haven’t managed to pick up enough points on home soil either. From a possible 27 points, the Merseyside Reds have won just 15. This is the result of their 3 victories and 6 draws at Anfield.

“If you want to be really positive you could say we are undefeated at home but we've said before we don't want to set our standards that low,” Kenny Dalglish miserably told reporters on Thursday.

“We want to be winning our home games as often as we possibly can and we've certainly given ourselves opportunities to have won every home game. We haven't done that but we will keep going and we believe we will do.”

Manchester United poised to end 2011 as EPL leaders above Manchester City

Former Blackburn boy Phil Jones is publicly a fan of his ex-club. However, the Manchester United defender will be left with no other option than wishing defeat for the visitors on Saturday.

Rock-bottomed Blackburn Rovers are yet to win away from home but they’ve managed to secure draws at 5 separate occasions.

“We won’t find it easy, though. It’s going to be tough,” Phil Jones reminded ahead of the game according to Manutd.com.

“I know what sort of squad Blackburn have and there are some cracking players there. We can’t take them lightly.”

It is interesting to observe that Manchester’s two foes, City and United, are joint leaders at such a point in the campaign. They share the same record in terms of wins, draws and losses.

England Premier League Preview: Week 18 (Dec 26-27)

Tottenham have lost only one of their last 14 Premier League games, and with a win over Norwich can move to within seven points of the league lead, having played a game less than joint leaders Manchester United and Manchester City.

Tottenham’s north London rivals Arsenal will also be in action on Tuesday. The Gunners can break into the top four with a win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.

The Gunners are in good form having won three of their last four games, Wolves will be looking for a win to increase the one point gap between themselves and the relegation zone.

In Tuesday’s other game, Swansea City will play host to Queens Park Rangers with both teams looking to climb away from the relegation zone.

This game will be a clash between two newly promoted clubs who have won respect for their style of play from many fans and pundits. They will now be looking to collect enough points to ensure they stay in the division.

QPR are currently two points clear of the relegation zone after losing their last three games, while Swansea are two points further ahead.

Will Van Persie Win the Premier League Golden Boot in 2012?

Even by his standards, Robin Van Persie is having a special season. In 17 matches to date in the Premier League, the Dutchman has struck 16 times. Arsenal has garnered a large chunk of their points to date thanks to winning goals of amazing quality scored by none other than their captain.

Alan Shearer scored 36 goals in one year in the Premier League. He holds the record for the most Premier League goals scored in a calendar year. Van Persie has scored 34 goals this year. He could be the owner of this record at the end of the year. He is currently the leading scorer in the Premier League.

Chelsea vs Fulham: Blues pursue Premier League title race despite 11-point gap

Fears that the game would be called off went out of the way. This is when Chelsea confirmed, through a statement on Wednesday, that the planned metro strike in London would not affect the Boxing Day action.

The home crowd could witness the Blues’ seventh win at Stamford Bridge whereas Fulham carry the humiliation from their 5-0 defeat to Manchester United at Craven Cottage. Forcing Chelsea to their first draw or to their third loss at the Bridge won’t be easy.

The truth is that Fulham have won only once away this season. That was against Wigan Athletic at the DW stadium on October 29.

England Premier League Preview: Week 17 (Dec 20-22)

Third placed Tottenham are 10 points behind league leading Manchester City, but have played two games less than both the Citizens and second placed Manchester United.

Fourth placed Chelsea are two points behind Spurs, having played one extra game.

Both teams will enter this battle for third place in good form, with Tottenham having lost one of their last 13 league games, and Chelsea riding a four game unbeaten streak.

Speedy wing duo Aaron Lennon and Gareth Bale both look set to miss out for Tottenham, while strike pair Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe are injury doubts.

Chelsea captain John Terry has recovered from an Achilles injury and is expected to start in defense. With Luis Suarez being banned for eight games this week after being charged with racism, it will be interesting to see if Terry’s focus is impacted by his own ongoing racism charge.

David Luiz is sidelined with a knee injury for the Blues, while fellow Brazilian Ramires is expected to shake off a leg injury in time to play.

Liverpool climb back into the top six with a 2-0 Premier League win at Aston Villa

Wales international Craig Bellamy was an inspirational figure for Liverpool, scoring the opening goal for the Reds, before setting up Skrtel for the second soon after.

Liverpool started brightly and winger Stewart Downing fired wide when presented with an early chance. Downing was playing at Villa Park for the first time since leaving to join the Reds, and the home fans taunted his woeful finish.

Downing helped silence those fans in the 11th minute when he swung over a dangerous corner. Jonjo Shelvey and Luis Suarez diverted the ball, before Bellamy smashed home the opening goal.

Four minutes later, Bellamy swung over a corner that Skrtel rose highest to head firmly past Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan.

England Premier League Preview: Week 16 (Dec 17-18)

Fans will want to see if Manchester City can recover from suffering their first league defeat of the season last Monday, and if Arsenal can extend their eight game league unbeaten run.

City’s 2-1 loss at Chelsea cut their lead at the top of the table to two points, and they could kickoff this game in second place if Manchester United beat Queens Park Rangers earlier in the day.

Arsenal have climbed back up to fifth with their run of good form, and a win over City at the Etihad Stadium could see the Gunners re-enter the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur are currently two points ahead of Arsenal, and will be looking for a sixth straight home win when they host Sunderland.

In the other game of the day, Liverpool will get back into the top six if they can win at Aston Villa.
