Liverpool fans preparing for protest against owners ahead of Manchester United match

A group of Liverpool fans naming ‘The Spirit of Shankly group’ is expected to protest against the club’s unpopular owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett ahead of the high-profile clash with Manchester United. All Reds fans are furious and angry with the owners due to a number of reasons. First of all, the two owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett are keeping a clear distance with club manager Rafael Benitez, making a serious impact on the team management.


Since taking over the club, the two owners failed to keep their words regarding a new stadium of Liverpool. Recent reports suggest that the owners are struggling to collect enough funds to initiate a new stadium. Moreover, the club owners are reportedly not funding on player transfer as per the wish of Rafael Benitez. Recently, Liverpool manager Benitez accused the board of failing to secure Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry who was Benitez’s target all through the summer.


Even the relationship between the two owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett has not been as good as it is needed for the well being of the club. Gillett once said that his relationship with Hicks had reached in a position termed as ‘unworkable’. Though he later admitted that his relation with Hicks had improved substantially, the anger and worry of Liverpool fans now seems to have reached at its peak with the clubs looking no improvement in any aspect. Meanwhile, reports also have it that the Dubai International Capital, who had earlier been interested to become the owner of the club, before Gillett and Hicks took over, is still interested to buy the shares of Gillett and Hicks.

Arsenal Winger Theo Walcott might sit out for Blackburn Encounter

Following a heroic performance in England’s emphatic 4-1 victory against Croatia, Theo Walcott might not start against Blackburn Rovers. The 19-year-old scored a superb hat trick at Zagreb against Croatia in their world cup 2010 qualifying campaign. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger might be interested to give the youngster some rest as he traveled a lot this week. Moreover, Wenger will take a last minute decision on the fitness of midfielder Samir Nasri.


I am not sure if it would be a good decision to sit Walcott out for the match because Arsenal lost their only away fixture at Fulham so far this season. So, ahead of the away match at Ewood Park, Arsenal might need to be more careful, though it is true that Arsenal is clearly favorite in the match. However, it is also true that Arsene Wenger knows very well about his squad and he would not take any risk for the match.


Blackburn Rovers will have their new signing Robbie Fowler available for the Arsenal encounter as Blackburn manager Paul Ince has kept him in the squad for Arsenal match.

Manchester City to Welcome Chelsea with Record Signing Robinho Eyeing on Debut

Chelsea will travel to Eastlands tomorrow to face host side Manchester City in their fourth match of English Premier League this season. Chelsea is leading the league table with 7 points from three matches. Manchester City stands third with a point less than Chelsea. So, victory would see Chelsea open up a three points lead, while Manchester City has an excellent chance to reach the top of the table with a victory (depending on the result of Blackburn vs Arsenal).


The match will take place on 13 September 2008. Chelsea will look to win the match, while Manchester City, advantaged with home support, will also gearing up to pick up three points against Chelsea. However, even a draw would be a satisfactory result for Manchester City. However, the main focus is now on Robinho who is yet to play his first match for Manchester City. The former Real Madrid star joined City during summer transfer window for a British record fee of £32.5. He was a big target of Chelsea and he himself was keen to move to Stamford Bridge, but after a series of turn and twists, he put pen on paper for Manchester City on the last day of the deadline. Shaun Wright-Phillip is also expected to be handed his first match since his return to City tomorrow against Chelsea.


However, City boss Mark Hughes needs to contend with injury that ruled Martin Petrov out of the match. Michael Johnson is also doubtful for the match as he is struggling with groin injury. The good news is that defender Micah Richards might return to action with the match after shaking off his shoulder injury.


Chelsea boos Luiz Felipe Scolari might give Didier Drogba his first match of the season as he has recovered from knee injury. Joe Cole will travel with the team to Eastlands, even though he picked up a head wound that needed stitches during England’s 4-1 victory over Croatia. Michael Essien will be out with his ligament injury suffered during international duty, but John Obi Mikel is expected to come back after recovering from leg injury and he would fill in the gap of Essien.


Chelsea seems to be better side, but Manchester City will have home advantage. The City players will come out full of confidence as star footballers like Robinho is going to make his debut in the match. I think, the match will be a draw.

Blackburn vs Arsenal 08-09: Preview and Live Score

Blackburn is going to play against Arsenal this weekend 13 September, Saturday. The match will take place at the Ewood Park, the stadium of Blackburn Rovers. The kick off time is 15:00 BST and you can find detailed information about the match in this entry.

The two clubs have so far played three matches so far in premier league this season. From the three matches, Arsenal has got six points as Arsenal lost one and won two matches. On the other hand, Blackburn has four matches from three matches. So, both the teams are trying to get something out of this match. Most important thing is that whoever wins tomorrow’s match will go a long way in the premier league table. The maximum that Arsenal can get by winning this match is the first position. On the other hand, Blackburn can move a lot too. In this season, Arsenal won both of the home matches and lost the one away match. In fact, Arsenal could not score any goal in the away match. So, whether Arsenal wins or draws, the first priority would be to score a goal. On the other hand, Blackburn has not won any match at home either. So, for Blackburn, the main focus would be to win the match. Thus, we can think of an entertaining match because both the teams will be on the look out to win.

In the recent years, Arsenal has consistently played very well against Blackburn. On the other hand, Blackburn has played bad not only against Arsenal but against any London club. Thus, it is an interesting matter to see that Blackburn is weak against London clubs like Arsenal. So, you can think that Arsenal is the hot favorite for winning the match.

The main player for Arsenal should be Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor. If Adebayor can score a hat-trick then it will be his 50 premier league goals for Arsenal. Of course, scoring three goals in one match is not that easy. Well, yesterday Theo Walcott showed for England national team that even at his images, you can score three goals in one match. He scored these three goals against Croatia in Croatia and this has really made all the people of England very happy. So, Arsenal will look forward to these two players for inspiration. However, there can be one problem is that Walcott could have been tired for playing the match and he may not be at his best. However, you have to agree with this me that Walcott at this moment is at the height of his confident and Arsene Wenger was right to get him in the first place.

There is report that Blackburn has got Robbie Fowler on a special deal. Well, Robbie Fowler is 33 years old and he is not the player he once was. Still, he will most probably available for the match and let us see if he plays. Now, another player who is important for Blackburn is David Dunn. He is two goals short of 50 goals for the club. On the other hand, this is the 100th appearance for Walcott in English premier league.

You can get live updates in BBC sports website. BBC Radio Five Live will also cover the match and here I am giving some name of websites that will give live score of the match:
