New Delhi, September 30, 2005: ESPN Star Sports brings the English
Premier League, live and exclusive, this weekend with a colossal
clash on cards between two of English Football's best clubs. Chelsea
will take on Liverpool in a repeat of the mid week Champions' league
encounter between the two sides.
Both sides, after a stalemate on Wednesday night, will look to
rest advantage with them in their premiership clash on Sunday. The
Blues with a clear lead at the top will look to secure all three
points against the slightly off mark Reds. Though, Benitez's side
may be lacking in the killer instinct they exhibited last season
to win the Champions' League title, experts have tipped them as
the only contender to Mourinho's all conquering men. The match is
the toast of the season with a win, three points and pride on stake.
In other matches this weekend, resurgent Newcastle with Owen in
a scoring form makes a trip to Portsmouth. Manchester United bouncing
back after their league defeat last weekend with a win in Champions'
League takes on Fulham who will be looking to benefit from United's
poor run of form. On Premiership Saturday, Blackburn Rovers host
West Brom with very impressive West Ham United taking on last placed
Sunderland to cap the line up.
On Super Sunday, Arsenal host Birmingham, fresh from their win
over Manchester United, without inspirational Thierry Henry. The
Gunners have undoubtedly performed below far this season so far
and will be looking to consolidate to have any chances of catching
Chelsea at the top. Bolton Wanderers make a trip to Wigan on Sunday
with all eyes being on the big clash between the Reds and the Blues.
Will it be Gerrard magic or Lampard skills that will hog the limelight
this weekend in English Football?
