Chelsea

Fulham will not be easy for Chelsea. After two draws in the last two games, Chelsea are targeted to get the full points when faced with Fulham on Monday (12/26/2011). However, The Cottagers should not be underestimated. After a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic, Chelsea repeating similar results when meeting with Tottenham Hotspur. result, they were stalled at four positions standings with 33.

It will be a difficult period for each team. Players will begin to feel tired and lose concentration because of playing in many games.

Also Chelsea are also rumored to want to get Gonzalo Higuain. Gonzalo Higuain actually still have the energy that is needed by Real Madrid. However, because often sit on the bench, too, began to appear the news that there are some teams that approached him. At least from the British soil blown news that Chelsea have set up a fund of 24 million pounds to get the Argentine striker, such as reported by the Daily Mail. The Blues touted requires the attacker after Fernando Torres never found his best game and Didier Drogba started with age. However, Chelsea are not alone. The same source also mentioned that Juventus are also keen to bring in players who were born in France.

Higuain has played this season as much as 15 times in La Liga with 12 goals donations.The record is quite good, but he must be willing to position rotated with Karim Benzema by Jose Mourinho. Even on some occasions Higuain must be willing to sit on the bench, such as El Clasico match some time ago.

Fulham have a poor record when it comes to face his neighbors in West London and they have never won the Derby London in the Premier League era, outside Craven Cottage. Of the 35 games, they lost 23 times and drew 12 matches.

Even so Chelsea was not without flaw because this season they have lost twice at home, from Liverpool and Arsenal. Moreover, they were hit by injury crisis after the central defender Branislav Ivanovic.
Now ‘The Blue’ had lived as a central defender John Terry is fit despite David Luiz is predicted when the game was able to recover counter Fulham.

Chelsea could re-use David Luiz after the Boxing Day. But they will look for another central defender in the transfer window tomorrow and we should have to respond quickly when the transfer window opened. Not only about the crisis center back, the appearance of the main goalkeeper, Petr Cech, also disappointing in the last two games. Blunders committed the Cech Republic’s goalkeeper Chelsea failed to win from Wigan and Tottenham Hotspur.

When the ball comes, Petr Cech a little late and Adebayor kicking the ball into the goal. But Bale is very good crossing and Cech merasarasa little too late a few inches.

Once up and down at the beginning of the competition, including when beaten Manchester United 8-2 in the third week, Arsenal began to stabilize. They always win in his last three games. Previously they also managed to overcome Sunderland and Stoke City. One problem for Arsenal is that they conceded in 10 games 21 times, or the largest number two after Bolton Wanderers (27). Wenger to give an explanation when asked about the number.

Manchester United’s defeat of Arsenal to the title makes the competition more exciting. Now Chelsea were called Sir Alex Ferguson had a great chance to overtake them at the top. Chelsea’s win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday to make MU should win against the Emirates Stadium on Sunday (05/01/2011). Both are three-point difference. But United eventually failed to win after a single goal Aaron Ramsey made ​​the Red Devils fourth defeat this season. So Manchester United also failed to widen the distance with Chelsea in second place and remain three points in three games remaining this season. Both also will sustain the determination of next week’s game at Old Trafford.

The victory of ‘The Blue’ means the position of the peak will be theirs, because they will be on goal difference. That’s what’s so focused Fergie is currently considering last season’s Carlo Ancelotti’s troops win at home to Manchester United with a score of 2-1. This gives Chelsea a huge opportunity.

According to Fergie’s Vidic deserve expelled out of the field but he also questioned the violation Gael Clichy to Michael Owen who should be rewarded with a penalty.
