Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea FC

It's a clash of London giants and leader chasers tomorrow as Tottenham and Chelsea meet at Stamford Bridge.

      Chelsea are coming off a recent draw to Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium, which puts their record for the last five games at 3-1-1. They come off a win at home against league leaders Man City, and a knockout round clinching win at Valencia. This puts them in the knockout stage of UCL, where they drew against a strong Napoli team, who qualified just a point ahead of Man City. Although the City Slickers have lost just one game in all domestic play, they have yet to qualify for the UCL knockout stage, something that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Man City owner Mansour bin Zayed Al Nayhan share a passion for. Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas will be looking for another strong showing to give him some breathing room with the fans and owners.

      Tottenham, who are just two points ahead of Chelsea in the table, and down two goals in GD. 3-0-2, coming off two wins at Sunderland and at home against Shamrock in the Europa League. They have one of the best midfields in the world, including Scott Parker, Gaerth Bale, Luka Modric and Rafael Van der Vaart to name a few. Gaerth Bale and Rafael Van der Vaart are at the prime of their game, and Luka Modric has many suitors at his door, including Chelsea. This should be an interesting battle of midfield v defense.

A Bad Week in Manchester (Finally!!!!!!!!!)

We all knew it was going to happen. It had to. No one since Arsenal's 2003-04 "Invincibles" have gone undefeated for a season. And on Monday, on a wintery night at Stamford Bridge, Super Frank Lampard ended Man City's hopes for duplicating that undefeated season.

Early on in the match, in the 2nd minute to be precise, Mario Balotelli, (Why Always Me?), scored again, which was the result of some of the worst defense Chelsea have played yet. Kun Aguero contributed on the assist. Man City came out of the gate storming past a sluggish Chelsea. Then, in the 15th minute, David Silva was brought down in the box, and Man City called for a penalty. It was not given. The City Slickers, being the pouters they are, lost focus, and allowed Raul Meireles to equalise just before half. It was set up by wonderful build up play by Daniel Sturridge, who has turned out to be quite the find for Chelsea. The biggest turning point in the game was to come later though, when Gael Clichy picked up two yellow's in the span of 11 minutes. His sending off just totally shifted the game to Chelsea's advantage. This was followed by 15 minutes worth of weak chances for Chelsea, untill, in the 82nd minute, a Daniel Sturridge shot was clearly hand-balled by Johan Lescott, and Mark Clattenburg pointed to the spot. Super Frank wasn't going to miss this time, and Chelsea got three points.

Super Frank for Da Win!

For most of the game, Chelsea had the advantage. For most of the second half, they were up a man. This game showed the Chelsea of old, and also how inexperienced Manchester City are.
