Chelsea look to take advantage of their soil and grab at win at Stamford Bridge this weekend to keep first place. Meanwhile Mancini and 4th place City will try and get any points they can to stay in European contention. The Citizens are coming off of a stalemate with Liverpool last week, and the Blue's a slip up in Italy. Let's not forget the Wayne Bridge/John Terry saga that goes along with the match. I think Chelsea will come off the Champions League loss strong. Drogba, Lampard, Essien will give Chelsea a 3-1 win over Carlitos Tevez's lone goal.
SUPER Sunday...
Rangers X Celtic - Sunday 7:30AM ET
This is one of the biggest rivalries of all time in any sport. As always these Glasgow teams are dominating the Scottish Premiere League, but Rangers hold a 7 point lead with one less game and 8 matches to go. If Celtic wants to make a run for first, they'll have to start here. I think Rangers will wrap it up this weekend with a 2-0 win at home.
Everton X Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday 8:00AM ET
Two of your leading scorers in the EPL face off in this London-Liverpool duel. Jermaine Defoe and Tottenham are holding strong at 4th place in a fierce English League, losing only once in their last 9 games. Luis Saha and company have been in form in England as of late, knocking off the likes of Man U and Chelsea. But Everton really choked on Thursday by losing to Sporting 3-0 to end their Europa League season. Look for Harry Redknapp's boys to send Everton home losers once again, 2-0. Niko and Tom Huddlestone will score.
Carling Cup Final - Manchester United X Aston Villa - Sunday 10:00AM ET
Its that time of the year, where we begin wrapping up League Cups. The English start first when Sir Alex's boys square off against the Villans at Wembley Stadium. Manchester have been challenged much more in the competition having to knock out the likes of Man City and Tottenham. Although, this is not the Premiere League nor the FA Cup, games that involve a shiny trophy for the winner are always a little more fun to watch. Manchester will defeat Villa 2-0, goals from Valencia and Vidic.
Sevilla X Athletic Bilbao - Sunday 1:00PM ET
A win for 7th place Athletic would see them most likely jump into a European spot. But Sevilla are coming off of a solid result in Russia on Wednesday, and have the home field advantage. Look for Sevilla to play strong at home in order to creep up towards 3rd place Valencia. Sevilla will win this nail biter 1-0. Alvaro Negredo will do it again.
Sporting C.P. X FC Porto - Sunday 3:15PM ET
Sporting finally broke their BIG no-win streak with a BIG surprise. They have qualified for the next round of the Europa League. However 14 points separate these two teams in 3rd from 4th place. Porto are coming off a BIG win against Sp. Braga, and look focused on being the "tortoise" of the Liga Sagres this year. These games are always close, so I'll say Porto wins 2-1 in Alvalade. Goals from Varela and Falcao. Yannick scores for the Lions.
