All the leading EPL teams are back after a
busy European weekend. Most of them had a favourable result to show in European
club competitions. Most notable would be Manchester United’s draw against a
much fancied Real Madrid side at the Bernabeau. Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur
also got through their matches in the Europa League with wins. This week the
teams will again put all their focus on the EPL crown. Manchester United have
proved their metal in the latest match against Real where they matched skill
for skill. It seems that Danny Wellbeck is ripe to come of age in the Red
jersey. Earlier on this season there were talks about giving him out on loan,
but Sir Alex had other ideas. Wellbeck seems to be in prime form and when it is
coupled with the dangerous Van Persie, the low lying QPR should be wary. If
QPR’s own form was not a worry, their clash with ManU would definitely be a
major headache.
Big match over the weekend is the clash
between Chelsea and Manchester City. Manchester City is already a dozen points
adrift the leaders. If they stumble this weekend then the second consecutive
title could be a distant dream. For Chelsea clinching on to the third spot is
very important. They have the team, but inconsistency is what hinders their
progress. Juan Mata and Ramires are looking hot in the midfield, and Frank
Lampard is again back to scoring ways. Chelsea has come up as one of the soccer picks to finish in top three
positions this season.
Everton have a tricky match against Norwich
City. Norwich has slumped in form in the recent encounters, while Everton are
also not getting best services from their prolific midfielder Marouane
Fellaini. Tottenham are expected to get over the West Ham hurdle. Arsenal and
Aston Villa will also have a fiercely competed match. Aston Villa has got some
good results into their kitty, but Arsenal would be the winner according to any
soccer tips. Liverpool and Swansea
will be missing EPL action this weekend as they played one extra match last
week.
Soccer
picks for the match of this week would be the
important encounter between Chelsea and Manchester United. Can Chelsea do ManU
a favour by winning and erasing chances of Manchester City title win? Only time
will tell.
