On Sunday Manchester United will walk into the Stamford Bridge pitch in unusual fashion. They
will be the underdogs.
By all accounts, Chelsea simply look the stronger side. After trashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 last
weekend and earning a 2-2 Champions League draw against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea's in-form striker
Didier Drogba will be looking to punish a Manchester United defense that will be without Rio
Ferdinand.

Or should I saw Wolves 3-Arsenal 2? We come away with 3 points on a scoreline which flatters us
a little bit, on the back of 2 early Wolves own goals which put us up 2-0, a vantage point from
which we never looked back.
Wolves strategy was pretty obvious, and wasn't a bad one as far as these things go.

Aaron Ramsey has been rewarded for his superb Carling Cup performance against Liverpool — by
being handed a start against Wolves this evening. Gunners striker Eduardo is also given a chance
upfront alongside the in-form Robin van Persie, while Kieran Gibbs continues at left back due to
Gael Clichy's stress fracture.

Can I get an Amen?This week's winner is: The Holy Babel.
I don't know if you guys have noticed this yet, but I really REALLY like name puns. And I think
there is a serious lack of clever names in the official game. Too many teams are named some form
of: FC My Town or Gunners Rule6969.

Chelsea-Manchester United
First off wowsers! When we say this weekend is a big match we don't exaggerate (like some
other weeks) as number one hosts number two in this fight for the top spot. These two clubs have
passed off the honor of being the Premier League's best week by week and this week seems to be the
match where we will find out which team truly is the better squad.

19:30 Leverkusen v Frankfurt, Bundesliga, ESPN
Leverkusen find themselves one point ahead at the top of the Bundesliga, but they've only beaten
Frankfurt once in their last six meetings. Normally stingy in defence, they conceded two goals late
on last week against Schalke, so the potential for a further wobble here is considerable.

by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsenal face Manchester City in the quarter final of the Carling Cup next month
and Gooners everywhere are praying Arsene Wenger's Young Guns can overcome Mark Hughes' side,
complete with Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. Robin van Persie has already stated he'd love to
play against City and his reasons no doubt refer to the incident in the 4-2 Premier League defeat
in which Adebayor kicked RVP in the face.

Eduardo's back heel onto Arshavin, who runs and takes the ball and finds the pass to Diaby, who
sets himself up and scores.
That my friends was the goal of the night and the fourth for Arsenal against AZ Alkmaar. The
football recently played by Arsenal is nothing short of phenomenal, offensively of course.

Arsene Wenger and Arsenal may soon have a new owner at the club. Stan Kroenke, who already added
to his stock of shares in the North London club earlier this week, reportedly bought 200 more
shares today to draw his stake in the club to 29.9 percent -- just 0.09 percent away from the limit
where Kroenke would have to make a bid for the remaining shares.

The news that Gael Clichy is out for up to two months is unfortunate and may harm Arsenal's
trophy ambitions. When he first started his career at Arsenal, he was very injury prone, with
continuous operations on his broken metatarsals. He always seems to get injured at an awkward time
for The Gunners, and will return in the New Year.

Van Persie was the Gunners go-to-guy in the Match of the Week as Arsenal defeated Tottenham
3-0. Van Persie would score twice in the critical match and the result continues to push the
Gunners towards the top of the league table. Van Persie has seven goals and six assists on the

Free-scoring Arsenal continued their dominance of Champions League Group H with a stunning 4-1
drubbing of AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday night.
The Gunners are in top spot and unbeaten in their group, and proved far too classy for the Dutch
visitors at The Emirates, where skipper Cesc Fabregas bagged a brace and was joined on the
scoresheet by Samir Nasri and Abou Diaby, who netted a sublime fourth of the night on 72 minutes
after some flowing build-up play from Eduardo and Andrey Arshavin.

When Robin Van Persie scored Arsenal's third in the North London derby against Spurs, it
prompted me to draw comparisons with the Real Madrid legend Raul. He has scored seven goals in the
league and been given the role of the top of the Gunners attack. He has previously been compared to
Dennis Bergkamp who was a genius at linking up attacks with the rest of his teammates.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are 12
years behind the Gunners.
Despite making a strong start to the season, with Spurs winning their opening four league games,
defeats to Manchester United (3-1), Chelsea (3-0) and Arsenal (3-0) have highlighted that the White
Hart Lane side still have their work cut if they are to establish themselves at the top end of the
Premier League table.
