Preview GW 14 - The North London Derby

The north London derby: Arsenal vs Tottenham

Definitely will be a fiery match, with the addition of Van Der Vaart
and current's Bale, the derby is never the same again

Gonna be a fiery match. A golden change for Arsenal to occupy the top of the table with a win. But Tottenham aren't gonna let these young Gunners go through easily. Play every attacking players of both team you have. Just see how Bale torture Sagna, and Fabregas at the opposite side, penetrates Tottenham's defence with his through passes.


Liverpool vs West Ham

Gerrard's injury: Liverpool will get some handsome payment from FA

Yea, Gerrard is hamstrung and will be out for four weeks, injured during England's friendly against France. The only fire power left is Torres. Nothing much to say, God bless Torres and keep him safe from injuries as he will be marked real tight as he is the lone target man.


Blackpool vs Wolves

Captain Adam will be out, who will be taking spot kicks and penalties?

Charlie Adam set to miss this week's game against Wolves at home. Awww.. what a wonderful chance and match for the Blackpool's captain to grab some points. He is one of the best bargain buy under $6 category, the 5th leading scorer in the midfielders' section, owned by 19.2%.

Wolves will take the advantage to do something after some awful results in the past 2 months and without Charlie Adam, how will Blackpool be doing?


Birmingham vs Chelsea

Drogba: Did not score since GW 7

Chelsea aren't the same again, seems to lost their momentum, not a free-scoring side anymore. 3 losses so far, the humiliating defeat to Sunderland at home is the hardest to accept and forget. Away at Birmingham? Might be boring, even Birmingham might have some chances bringing them down with the absence of Terry and Alex.

Fulham vs Manchester City

Mancini: The master of bore game tactician

What can I say? Continue to fire blank and the blue/white stripes scarf surrounding your neck can be the same scarf to be used to hang yourself soon. Go go Mark Hughes!

Others:

• Manchester United vs Wigan - sorry Wigan is all I can say and have to say.

• Sunderland vs Everton - Gyan is on hot form. Do you realised that Sunderland only lost 1 game this season beside MU who have not lose a single game so far.

• Bolton vs Newcastle - Both teams are bold and dare to play attacking formations despite their average defences. Will be a nice game to watch. Still, look out for Elmander.

• Blackburn vs Aston Villa - Hmm, a tight match, might be a low-scoring match. Downing and Young in my radar.

• West Brom vs Stoke City - It's time for West Brom to grab a win after winless for 4 games. Odemwingie is back and he is performing well.

GW 11 - The week of two-goals heroes

Torres 2 - 0 Chelsea

2-goals hero no.1

Torres is back. He found back his soul that is long gone since the injuries suffered before World Cup. Two classic, superb goals with perfect touch and finishing is enough to defeat Chelsea at Anfield.

The atmosphere at Anfield rocks. Despite Torres' two-goals, Lucas grabbed the spotlight by grabbing all bonus 3 points, being so influential in midfield this night, possibly the best performance in his career so far.

Kuyt's return made an immediate impact as well, as he is the one that lofted a perfectly weighed pass to Torres to score the first goal.


West Brom 0 - 2 Manchester City

2-goals hero no.2

From zero to hero to zero. This young dude here turned from zero to hero after scoring 2 goals in the first half after back from injury and trying to prove himself. He succeeded, scoring 2 goals in the time frame of 6 minutes. But 1+1 yellow cards = 1 red card caused him to be sent off. Nevertheless, MC won 2-0 where both goals are scored by Balotelli

Bolton 4 - 2 Tottenham

2-goals hero no.3

Playing 2 matches in a row is too hard for Tottenham. Davies scored 2 goals and assisted 1, that is enough to win the game 4-2 despite Hutton's beautiful left-footed curler and Pavluychenko's superb mid-air volley.

Hot prospect fantasy striker Elmander made 2 assists as well.

Sunderland 2 - 0 Stoke City



2-goals hero no.4

Darren Bent is absent and Asamoah Gyan steals all the limelight. He scored 2 goals and gained 3 bonus points. He is the striker tipped by NCNB's blog for this week by the way. Sunderland won 2-0

 

Manchester United 2 - 1 Wolves

2-goals hero no.5

Despite his small eyes, he has a great vision for goal. He scored two goals, including the injury-time winner against a Wolves team that played so well and do not deserved to be beaten on this day.


Others:-

• Arsenal were humiliated again, what a shame, to be defeated by another newly-promoted team at home after West Brom. Carroll scored the winner before half-time due to a misjudgement made by goalkeeper Fabianski.

• Birmingham drew 2 - 2 at home to West Ham. I got this right. West Ham will get something out of this match.

• Blackburn won 2 - 1 over Wigan. Pedersen scored a screamer from a free-kick, where no one will expect him to score from there. Wigan's N'Zogbia scored from a free-kick as well.

• Blackpool drew 2 - 2 at home to Everton. Still enjoying the Tangerine dream start in the top flight.

• Fulham's 94th minute equalizing goal scored by Hangeland from a set-piece. What a heart-breaker for Aston Villa and Gerard Houllier after Marc Albrighton's goal and Villans think they should have won the game.
