Sorry this is late, but I wanted to wait given the injuries and the game being on Monday. Posting on Friday morning like usual would have meant even more baseless speculation over who's available.

Man United and Chelsea have been the top two teams in the Premier League over the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

Manchester United have been nothing but mediocre of recent. Therefore, we will be beaten at Stamford Bridge on Sunday..mark my words. Now some United fans may find those words hard to stomach, especially as they come from a person that gets to twenty five games a season. But i like to call things honestly.

On paper the game tomorrow against 2nd bottom Peterborough should be an easy game. But football games are not played on paper, and we've already learned that in the Championship that any side can raise their game on the day, especially when they play Newcastle. And the opposing team's play bears no resemblance to their league position [. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal vs AZ Alkmaar

AZ Alkmaar have made the short trip to London to take on Arsenal looking to build on their surprise 1-1 draw out in Holland last time out. A furious Arsene Wenger will be out to tighten up his leaky defence and see the job done in a week where he spoke about his desire to win the Champions League trophy.

Tonight with a win, Man United could qualify for the next stage of the Champions League. United could be without five first team regulars. Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs are all struggling with injuries. Wayne Rooney may also be absent due to his wife giving birth to their first child yesterday.

Apoel Nicosia vs FC Porto

FC Porto will look to lock up second place in Group D with a win against Nicosia. The 2-1 victory a fortnight ago did not represent the game. Porto out-played the Romanian side for the better part of the game and Hulk should have had a hat-trick at least.

Kaka returns to San Siro for the first time as the enemy.

Real Madrid vs AC Milan

Clarence Seedorf believes his side are starting to find their rhythm. Before last month's match against Real Madrid, AC Milan had only won one match in five. Since their 3-2 triumph in Madrid they have taken seven of nine possible points bringing them to fourth in Serie A.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Besiktas

Last year's Bundesliga champions have been disappointing this season. They have only shown glimpses of the wonderful attacking football that we were all spoiled with this past year.

Grafite is back from a club-enforced break following his red card against Besiktas a fortnight ago.

Bordeaux vs. Bayern Munich

Group A leaders, Bordeaux will look to edge even closer to a place in the next round. To do so they will have to beat Munich at their home ground.

Bordeaux were clearly the better side a fortnight ago as they frustrated Munich players into getting two red cards.

In the wacky world of North American soccer football there are very few historical sites. While we will stop short of comparing East Rutherford, New Jersey's Giants Stadium to the likes of the San Siro, Nou Camp or Wembley, you have to admit it has played a large concrete role in the continent's footy story.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid:

Chelsea will look to bounce back from their second loss of their domestic campaign. The Blues lost to Aston Villa at the weekend because of two lapses on set pieces but Ballack says that they are looking to eradicate those mistakes.

"John's (Terry) reaction on the pitch showed that he takes a big responsibility not just for himself but for the team," said Ballack.

Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow

I believe there is some drama to be had from Group B and I expect this fixture to provide it. The table at the moment has United with six points and then Wolfsburg and Moscow with three points.

When United visit Russia they will have a difficult task on their hands.
