Premier League preview

May 1st, 2010 by football writer

This weekend’s results could decide the destination of the Premier League title. Leaders Chelsea face a tricky trip to Liverpool in the early kick-off on Sunday. Champions Manchester United visit Sunderland in the 4PM kick-off.

Chelsea are currently leading the Red Devils by a point and both sides need victories from their tricky away clashes. Chelsea will be in good spirits after beating Stoke City 7-0 at Stamford Bridge in their last Premier League outing and will be confident of maximum points.

Liverpool will be looking to recover from their Europa League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid on Thursday with a victory over the Blues. The Reds have to win in order to stay in the race for fourth spot.

Confidence will be high at United after their crucial 3-1 victory over Tottenham last weekend. United could also welcome back star striker Wayne Rooney for their vital clash at Sunderland.

It’s also a crucial weekend in the fight for fourth place. It’s tight in the race for Champions League qualification. Manchester City host Aston Villa on Saturday with just a point between the pair. Villa are one point above City but Roberto Mancini’s side have a game in-hand.

Fourth place Tottenham play midtable Bolton at White Hart Lane. Spurs are currently fourth on goal difference and a win would put the North London side in pole position for the last Champions League spot.
