Blackburn are set to host Chelsea at Ewood Park, in match week eleven of the Premier League, on Saturday, November 5, 2011.

Blackburn are fresh from a 3-3 draw at Norwich in match week 10. The visitors drew first blood on the break though Hoilett after an eventful first half that saw missed opportunities on both sides. Rovers took the initiative early on, and had a few scoring opportunities wasted by the likes of Formica and Yakubu.

The Canaries had their own missed chance when Morison hit the ball over the post after Tierney and Pilkington got the home side got through on the left flank. However, Morison made amends by scoring the equaliser on 53 minutes, only for Yakubu to put the visitors ahead on 62 minutes and when Samba got Blackburn’s third goal two minutes later, the game appeared all but over. The Canaries had a foot in the door, with a Johnson goal on 82 minutes, and Holt converted a penalty late into injury time to level the score 3-3.

In match week 10, Chelsea crossed swords with Arsenal, at Stamford Bridge. Lampard, fed by a brilliant cross from Mata, gave the home side an early lead, on 14 minutes. Van Persie got his side back on level terms, with an equaliser in the 37th minute, when Ramsey found Gervinho on the run, and the Ivory Coast striker drew out Cech and squared Van Persie who just had to tap the ball into the unguarded net. But the hosts had the last laugh on the stroke of half-time, when captain Terry put them ahead 2-1.

The second half was sheer mayhem, as Arsenal mounted a fierce fight-back led by Van Persie who got a hat-trick, and Chelsea went down 5-3, with Mata scoring their third goal in the 81st minute, a case of too little, too late

Head to head, Chelsea have established a 13-2 lead over the Rovers, in the 20 league matches between the sides. The last time they met was in January 2011, with Chelsea winning 2-0, in the game hosted by them.

After 10 games, this season, Blackburn are currently in relegation zone (18th place) on the Premier League points table, while Chelsea are in fourth place. In 5 home games, Blackburn have won just one while losing 4; Chelsea have won 2 of 5 games, on the road, while losing 2 and drawing the remaining one. In their last 10 league matches, Blackburn have won just one, while losing 6 and drawing 3; Chelsea have won 6, lost 3 and drawn one of their last 10.

Chelsea are bookmakers favourites to win, and will be keen to make amends after a dull draw against Belgian side Genk, midweek, in the Champions League.

Blackburn’s starting eleven against Norwich: Robinson, Lowe, Samba, Givet, Olsson, Rochina, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Hoilett, Formica, Yakubu

Chelsea’s starting eleven against Arsenal: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Mikel, Lampard, Mata, Sturridge, Torres

Just this weekend, the top 4 spots of the English Premier League table experienced a reshuffle. The reason for the reshuffle is not far-fetched. It was as a result of a game, the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. The full time score of the match goes thus, Chelsea 2, Manchester City 0.

With this result, Chelsea is now 3rd on the table and Manchester City 4th. So one can see the uneasiness in the top 4 spots of the EPL. Prior to this Manchester City was leading Chelsea. Man City was occupying the 3rd position while Chelsea FC was occupying the 4th position. They were leading Chelsea with 2 points. But after Sunday’s game the table was turned and thus we have the current situation mentioned earlier.

The question is this, what is the implication of this to the top 4 contenders currently occupying the top 4 positions in the league? The answer is simple; the title race is not over yet. No space should be considered secure at least for now. Even the team occupying the number 1 position, Manchester United cannot afford to say that the title is now within their grasp and that no other team can move them out of that number 1 position. They still have a lot of work to do to remain at that most coveted position. Complacency on the part of Man U at this time will cost them this cherished position.

But this disturbance at these cherished places on the table is caused by only 1 club at the moment. The club causing it is Chelsea FC. The impact of this disturbance was increased on Sunday when Chelsea won their home game against Manchester City 2-0. Of course, this was not a good news to Man U fans. This is because their current most dreaded rival is Chelsea. So they know the uphill task they have ahead. Their darling team must overcome this rival if they must be sure of winning the title. Again, those of them that are current with the league know that this their rival still has a game in hand. If they win this game, the 9 point gap between their darling team and their foe will be reduced to 6 which make the matter worse. Here again we see the uneasiness among the top flight.

Actually, the top four positions were never in a peaceful condition this season. They have always been experiencing a change in occupants.Therefore, the winner of this season’s English Premier League will be one that will overcome this restiveness with the weapon of consistency.

It will be Premier League match time again at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea get set to host Manchester City in match week 30 on Saturday, March 19.

The game will be the second of a two-legged contest; the first, hosted by Manchester City on September 26, 2010, ended 1-0 in the hosts’ favour. City’s talismanic striker Tevez scored the solitary goal of the game, on the hour, to hand the champions their first defeat of the season.

On the day City showed efficiency rather than flair; their defence was impressive as they closed out the spaces thereby preventing Chelsea from finding scoring opportunities. That said, Chelsea were off-colour, especially in midfield, where any creative move was thwarted by three holding midfielders employed by Mancini. As a result, the Chelsea forwards did not get continual service; added to that, their main striker, Drogba, was well below his best. That led Ancelotti to withdraw his star striker after the interval, a decision that would have been unthinkable, earlier in the season.

Eventually, the game turned out to much less than exciting than its billing, especially the first half, considering that it was a clash of the two richest teams of the Premiership, both overflowing with marquee names. The game was akin to two heavyweights sizing up each other. City deserves praise for dominating a midfield comprising the likes of Essien and Mikel, with Gareth Barry turning out to be the stand out performer on the day. Kompany and Kolo Toure underscored their credentials as the best centre-halves in the business, while Silva combined well with Tevez and could turn out to be the most exciting prospect for City on their campaign trail.

Head to head, Chelsea hold a 14-4 advantage in the last 20 league games played between the sides, with the remaining 2 matches drawn.

In their last 10 league games, Chelsea have registered 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses; Manchester City have won 5 of their last 10, while losing 2 and drawing the remaining 3. Of their 13 home games this season, Chelsea have won 9, while having drawn and lost 2 each, while Manchester City have won 6 of their 14 games on the road, while losing and drawing 4 each.

In match week 29, Chelsea won 3-2 away at Blackpool; Manchester City won 1-0 against Wigan at home. On current form, Chelsea can expect a tough fight from Manchester City, despite the Stamford Bridge squad’s home advantage.

Chelsea’s starting eleven against Blackpool had the following players: Cech, Bosingwa, David Lutz, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard, Zhirkov, Drogba and Torres. Kalou, Malouda and McEachran featured as substitutes.

Manchester City had the following men in their starting eleven against Wigan: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Zabaleta, Vieira, Barry, Silva, Y Toure, Balotelli and Tevez. Kolarov, Dzeko and De Jong were used as substitutes.

One of the mouth watering prospects in store for football fans, when the Premier League returns after an International break, is a Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool.

Goodison Park will be the venue of a lunch-time kick off on Sunday in what promises to be an explosive match between two sides looking to prove themselves, after indifferent starts to their Premiership campaigns.

Coincidentally, both teams languishing near the bottom of the table, have six points each after seven matches. With new ownership looming for the Reds, Roy Hodgson will be keen to underline his managerial skills with a win. Especially after fans chanted for his removal in the Reds’ 2-1 home loss to Blackpool.

In some bad news for Liverpool (other than the off-field wrangles at Anfield), Dirk Kuyt is sidelined ahead of Sunday’s game, owing to an injury sustained by the striker in Holland’s Euro qualifier with Sweden on Tuesday, a match that the Dutch won convincingly. It could be a month before Kuyt returns to action.

But Hodgson will take cheer from Torres’ return to the team after the Spanish striker showed signs of recovery from an abductor strain.

Steven Gerrard, as ever, will the key man, and Hodgson will look for an inspired performance from the England midfielder in what is a must-win for the Anfield squad.

Everton on their part have injury worries too, with the sidelining of Victor Anichebe, Steven Pienaar, Louis Saha and Jack Rodwell. Manager David Moyes will hope that home advantage inspires the Blues to bank three points from the game, and move up the points table.

The Toffees will look to Tim Cahill to provide the momentum, even as the Reds are set to miss the services of Daniel Agger, Fabio Aurelio and Paul Konchesky due to injury.

The following players were in Everton starting eleven in their 2-0 win against Birmingham, on October 2: Tim Howard, Phil Neville, Sylvain Distin, Philip Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Seamus Coleman, Marouane Fellaini, Mikel Arteta, Leon Osman, Tim Cahill, Yakubu.

The substitutes for the match were: Barkley, Jermaine Bedford, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, John Heitinga, Magaye Gueye, Tony Hibbert, Jan Mucha.

Liverpool included the following players in their last league match against Blackpool, a match that the Reds lost 2-1: Jose Manuel (Pepe) Reina, Glen Johnson, Sotiros Kyrgiakos, Martin Skrtel, Jamie Carragher, Christian Poulsen, Raul Meireles, Dirk Kuyt, Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole, Fernando Torres.

The substitutes were: Milan Jovanovic, Lucas, David Ngog, Jay Spearing, Martin Kelly, Maxi Rodriguez, Brad Jones.

Arsenal will host West Brom Albion this Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, in their sixth game of the ongoing Premiership season.

The last time the two sides met was at the same venue, and the game ended 2-0 in the host’s favour.

Arsenal with 11 points are second, and just behind champions Chelsea, in the League table, and are among the few unbeaten teams, this Premiership season.

Head to head, in the Premier League, Arsenal and West Brom have met eight times, with Arsene Wenger’s squad emerging winners in six games, while Albion have won on just a solitary occasion against the three-time champions.

In fact, in the last ten matches between the sides, Arsenal have emerged winners eight times, while one match in 2004 was drawn. West Brom Albion recorded a solitary home win during this period.

In nine home matches, in the Premier League, Arsenal have conceded just two goals. Added to that is West Brom’s failure to score a goal in their most recent four away matches in the League. Consider also that in their last 18 away games in the Premiership, West Brom have failed to win a single one, while losing 14, and drawing the remaining three.

All of the above facts might make Arsenal look more formidable than they are. But Sunderland’s injury time strike via Darren Bent last weekend proved that Wenger’s men could be tackled, by a team that’s prepared to attack.

That said, Arsenal’s own attack is not a mediocre act, by any stretch, with 19 goals to show for in five matches played this Premiership season. The defence has also stood up, with only three goals finding the back of Arsenal’s net, in these five matches.

Arsenal could find West Brom hard to handle this season. West Brom are coming off a morale boosting 3-1 win against Birmingham, their third win in five Premier League matches, this ongoing season. However, Albion are a defensive side, and just seven goals scored in five matches is a clear pointer to this fact.

For Arsenal; Fabregas has been ruled out for three weeks with a hamstring injury. The Spanish midfielder is key to Arsenal’s performance this season, and with their match against Chelsea coming up, this is bad news, indeed.

Arsenal’s probable eleven: Almunia, Koscielny, Sagna, Squillaci, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Denilson, Arshavin, Chamakh, Nasri

West Brom’s probable eleven: Carson, Scharner, Shorey, Jara, Olsson, Thomas, Tamas, Mulumbu, Brunt, Odemwingie, Fortune

Newcastle United will host Stoke City at St James’ Park, this Sunday, in what will be the sixth match of their Premiership campaign.

Ahead of the game, Newcastle are gung-ho, thanks to a mid-week 4-3 win over Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, in the Carling Cup. Ironically, Newcastle also lost at home to Blackpool, in the Premier League.

Chris Hughton’s squad have scored eleven goals in the first five matches of their Premiership season. Their defence has stood up when it counted and conceded just four goals, to give the Magpies a healthy goal difference.

Contrast that with Stoke’s six goals for, and eight goals against. Seven of those came in the first 45 minutes of the matches in which they transpired.

The Potters have been up and down this season. Following a last-gasp away win against Villa, they drew at home against West Ham.

James Perch will return to the Newcastle squad, from suspension. Sol Campbell who played the entire duration of the Carling Cup game is also likely to start. ‘Keeper Steve Harper has been advised 12 weeks’ rest after shoulder surgery.Tim Krul is likely to replace him.

Danny Simpson and Danny Guthrie have not returned to match fitness from their respective shoulder and knee injuries. Newcastle will also miss Steven Taylor nursing a shoulder injury and Dan Gosling who has a knee concern.

For Stoke, regular players should return to the starting eleven after they were rested during the Carling Cup match loss to Fulham, mid-week, chief among them is ‘keeper James Sorensen. Abdoulaye Faye will bolster the back line, while the forward line should benefit from John Walters’ return.

Manager Tony Pulis will also welcome winger Jermaine Pennant returning from a hamstring injury.

The Potters last won at St James’ in 1976. Their last win against the Magpies came in 1989, when they prevailed 2-1 in a Division 2 game. The sides have drawn three of their last four league and cup games.

Caroll is Newcastle’s man of the season, with four goals in five matches, while Jones has scored just one for the Potters in their five.

Stoke should consider themselves lucky if they got away with a draw; Newcastle should consider it as an opportunity lost if they didn’t bank three points from the game.

Newcastle will probably field these players in their starting eleven: Krul, Enrique, Williamson, Coloccini, Perch, Ben Arfa, Nolan, Barton, Routledge, Ameobi, Caroll

The Stoke City starting eleven will probably be: Sorensen, Collins, Faye, Shawcross, Huth, Etherington, Delap, Whitehead, WhelanJones, Walters.
