ARSENAL V CHELSEA:

THE CLASH OF THE TITANS IN ENGLAND

Let us now start in england this weekend where we do have the grandslam suday
FIrst let us preview the the greatest rivalry of the english football over the last few years:LIVERPOOL V MAN UTD at ANFIELD
MANCHESTER UNITED:
They are now enjoying their football and unlike the previous seasons their squad is now strong in depth and they could afford to rest the players like Ronaldo,Ferdinand,Vidic and others in midweek aganist ROMA but something that LIVERPOOL could not do this week in both their games.

NO. OF INJURIES:6
PLAYERS:
1---->JOHN O'SHEA
2---->GARY NEVILLE
3---->PAUL SCHOLES
4---->MICHAEL SILVESTRE
5---->BEN FOSTER

My staring eleven(predicition)
FORMATION:4-4-2
GK:VAN DER SAR
DR:BROWN DC:VIDIC DC:FERDINAND DL:EVRA

MR:RONALDO MC:ANDERSON MC:HARGREAVES ML:GIGGS(C)

STRIKER:ROONEY SUPPORT STIKER:TEVEZ

This is really a team that can play many kind of formations.I feel that they will play a 4-4 -2 when defending and when attacking 4-3-3 with giggs anderson and hargreaves the centeral midfield and rooney,ronaldo and tevez up front.This is possibly a strong team with the likes of SAHA NANI CARRICK AND PIQUE on the bench.
STRENGTH:The counter attacking pace of ronaldo rooney giggs and the cleverness of tevez.The attack team is probably the best in the premiership maybe even in the world.The strength of vidic and ferdinand and well known.Brown is a player who has grown day by day after the injury to gary and he is looking good both in defence as well as when needed to attack.We all know what Evra can do when he bombs forward.
WEAKNESS:The first thing that comes to my mind is Evra's defensive side of play.If i am the manager of liverpool i would say to my players to attack down on the manu's left side.Apart from that there are no visible weaknesses.something that i feel is that for players like hargreaves anderson tevez brown evra may find it difficult,especially the first three of those ,brown and evra have not played a lot so there is not too much difference among them.

LIVERPOOL:
They really had a tough game in France this midweek and qualified for the last 16 round of the uefa champions league.They really have to continue the form on sunday as well.Manager rafa benitez was under immense pressure to qualify for the next stage and i did think that liverpool will not qualifiy for the next stage after their defeat in turkey even not after their victory against
besiktas in liverpool.Well they have proved me wrong.The man i do thing that the difference will be torres.
Liverpool injury table:
NO. OF INJURIES:3
PLAYERS:
1---->JERAMINE PENNANT
2---->STEVE FINNAN
3---->DANIEL AGGER
FORMATIONS(SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT GUESS WITH RAFA):

GK:REINA

DR:ARBELOA DC:CARRAGHER DC:HYYPIA DL:RISSE/AEUROLIO

MR:YOSSI MC:GERRARD MC:JAVIER ML:KEWELL/BABEL

FORWARD:TORRES FORWARD:CROUCH/KUYT

if there is indeed a change the formation will be 4-3-3 with yossi or kewell/babel being left out and alonso maybe coming in to form a central midfield formation with gerrard and mascherano

STRENGTHS:The two word mantra torres and gerrard
