It's time for another clash of the titans in the English Premiership. On Sunday Manchester United and Chelsea play each other in a match that takes on added importance after league leaders Liverpool played a 0-0 draw with Stoke City on Saturday. Chelsea are now four points out of first and United are eight points back but with 2 games in hand after Sunday's match. United will have a fit Rooney, Ronaldo and Berbatov ready for action while Chelsea have Michael Ballack and Jose Bosingwa returning from injury as well as Captain John Terry returning from suspension.
Every time these two heavyweights get together, one remembers the protracted struggle over Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel. Most of us know the story by now but a quick summary for those who don't. Back in 2005, a young Mikel was playing in Norway and signed a contract to move to Man.United. Chelsea countered United's claim that Mikel was heading to Old Trafford and after talk of coercion, claims and counterclaims, Chelsea paid up for Mikel and got their player.
Game time is 11am EST on Fox Soccer Channel in the USA.
