Arsenal and Chelsea face off in what is ‘the’ match of the weekend, yet Newcastle United and Tottenham face QPR and Stoke in their fight for a top three finish in the league.
The Barclays Premier League action is heating up as competition for a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League is reaching boiling point with Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur each fighting for third and fourth position.
Newcastle United take on Stoke City at 3:00pm GMT with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tony-c35440 Pulis’s resilient Stoke City squad.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Shawcross-c31996 has already stated that he is looking forward to facing in-form striker, Papiss Cisse. The Newcastle United striker has scored 10 goals in nine appearances and it will be an interesting contest between the two players.
Newcastle United will be desperate for three points on Saturday as they look to cap their dream of a season off with European football. Their preference will be a spot in the lucrative UEFA Champions league and for that nothing less than a win will do.
Bolton Wanderers also face off against Swansea City with the home side in desperate need of a win in order to escape the relegation zone. The home side have a game in hand, having played only 32 games this season, one less than the 33 games and 34 games
the rest of the teams have played this season.
However, Bolton have only been able to earn a total of 29-points and can go above Queens Park Rangers depending on how QPR get along with Tottenham.
Fulham host Wigan Athletic in another 3:00pm kick-off. Fulham currently sit comfortably in tenth place with a total of 43-points – level with Sunderland and Norwich City but with a game in hand. A win would see the London go level on points with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
On the flip side, Wigan Athletic are just six points above the relegation zone in 16th place and will be in a confident mood following their 2-1 upset of London highfliers and will be in a buoyant mood as a result.
That leaves us with the last match to take place this Saturday, the clash between Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 and Tottenham Hotspur. Harry Redknapp’s men have seen a serious drop in form over the past couple of months as they surrendered third place to their bitter
London rivals, Arsenal.
Tottenham now sit in fourth place, five points behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 who could finish the weekend above Tottenham depending on results.
The ball is in Tottenham’s court at the moment and QPR present the perfect opportunity for them to gain some momentum.
