New Delhi, December 16, 2005: ESPN STAR Sports, Asia’s leading
sports broadcaster, will bring LIVE & exclusive all the action
this weekend from the English Premier League for Indian viewers.
The Sports broadcaster continues its first-rate coverage of the
Premiership with analysis and review shows throughout the year.
Old foes, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal may well have
involuntarily joined ranks in their prayers and mission for Chelsea
downfall with the defending champions threatening to run away with
the league title this season too. The top three clubs of English
football foresee their long standing supremacy come to an end as
Chelsea has by far well and truly ruled the roost now for nearly
two years. In one of the most exciting matches this season, Chelsea
travel to Highbury to face Arsenal on Sunday, who if not for anything
will try and win it for pride. The Gunners have witnessed a dip
in form and finishing with a fall to sixth place in the table. They
will be looking to regroup themselves and bank on their star striker,
Thierry Henry, to shake off the Blues.
On Saturday, Manchester United, after a fall out from Europe and
a thumping win against Wigan, play away to Aston Villa. The Old
Trafford side will be counting on their outstanding second phase
form to catch leaders Chelsea for an outside chance at the title.
Fresh from their win over Arsenal, the Magpies will look to winning
ways this Saturday as Newcastle United face West Ham in an away
match.
On Sunday, ESPN STAR Sports will also telecast LIVE FIFA Club World
Championship Final between Liverpool and Sao Paulo. The Club World
Championship features top clubs as championship winners from all
the continents around the globe. The 3rd and 4th place play off
between Al Ittihad and Deportivo Saprissa will precede the final
on Sunday
