Fantasy Focus
Analysis of big showdowns this week.
Liverpool vs Everton
Prediction: 2-0
The second leg of the Merseyside premier league derby will commence on this Saturday with the blues visiting to Anfield.
Both sides had been gone through the most traumatic stages of their league progress this season and had shown strong form recently. The reds had only conceded one in their last six fixtures thanks to the last signing of last summer Sotirios Kyrgiakos which vastly improved their aerial defence; the blues are showing threatening offence with Tim Cahill being the recent hot man after Steven Pienaar.
Any derby will be exciting and tough, but this time my votes go to Liverpool. They are hosting at Anfield and they've retrieved their long lost confidence. Moreover they are really good in important matches despite of their sloppy form back to several months before.
Still, beware of Liverpool's inconsistency this season which might turn you down.
The future of reds.
Chelsea vs Arsenal
Prediction: 2-0
Arsenal's back-to-back super-duper hardcore games continue as they will visit to Stamford Bridge on this coming Sunday.
The gunners first two tough run had been ended disappointingly with only one point and one goal. The big defeat against United on Emirates had further flattened the morale of Wenger's side.
Meanwhile, table-topper Chelsea had lost two points on the replacement fixtures with Hull City on midweek which might prove costly for the title as Manchester United start to have an edge over them to lift the trophy again. Ancelotti would not like this to happen.
With Bendtner had just been recovered without fitness, I don't think Arsenal can win this one. Just copy Ferguson's tactics and Ancelotti should grab the points at ease.
Too bad he's not Van Persie.

Terry-ble
Chelsea's captain John Terry had recently became the focus of the media after the news of him having an affair with his former teammate, Wayne Bridge's girlfriend, Vanessa Perroncel spread to the public.
In fact, this is not the first time where Terry betrayed his wife. But unfortunately for this time, he betrayed his friend as well.
This will be a big problem for Capello. Should he remain the captain as captain? If not, who should replace him?
Bad babe.
