Alright guys… fasten your seat belts and get ready boys… cos this one is the biggie. English premier league would be full throttle this weekend as the top four teams clash in what could arguably be the make or break chance for the four teams on top of the Premier League. All four teams head in to the weekend well aware that a loss could serious dent or practically finish their title aspirations for this season. Chelsea travel to Anfield on Saturday with plenty other than football on the minds and league leaders Manchester United travel to Highbury on Sunday.
Chelsea v Liverpool as I said would be about so much more than… call it ego or call it pride… they’d be battles within the Chelsea camp and battles outside too. Andriy Shevchenko would be itching to get the string of poor performance behind him and show the world that he’s still Europe’s best and that he’s worth every penny of the 30 million pounds spent on him. But one still has to wait and see if Jose Mourinho actually gives him that chance as it’s still not clear if the Portuguese Boss is willing to take a gamble and field his woefully out of form striker who also has been in the midst of the storm between him and the Chelsea management.
That apart the match on the pitch its could be as crucial for the London side as a loss could seriously dent their premiership chances… giving United a huge nine point lead if they manage to win at Highbury. But then not just the points difference the loss could seriously dent their confidence and widen the rift in the club that’s already as wide as the grand canyon.
Meanwhile in London Manchester United and Arsenal would also have their task cut out as a loss for the Gunners in Arsene Wengers words would mean an end to their premiership this season whereas united who by then would have known the outcome of Chelsea’s match would either wanna further pull away at the top or keep the distance as before. So watch out for more news and gossip right here on the weekend’s premiership games cos it just can’t get better than this.
