My Football Facts & Stats Editorial – Premier League Matchday 14 & League Cup Quarter Finals
My Football Facts & Stats Editorial – Premier League Matchday 14 & League Cup Quarter Finals
Matchday 14 of the Premier League features three outstanding fixtures: Aston Villa v Spurs on Saturday and two derbies on Sunday – Everton v Liverpool and Arsenal v Chelsea. Villa and Spurs are two teams who many tip to challange for a Top Four finish and the late kick-off on Saturday sees fifth placed Villa take on fourth placed Spurs. Tottenham’s confidence should be sky high after their 9-1 demolishion of Wigan last time out, while Villa’s form has been patchy in recent week.
9th placed Stoke travel to 12th placed Blackburn, who have started to pick-up points recently. Fulham, fresh from a 3-0 mid-week win over Blackburn which lifted them up to 10th, host a struggling Bolton who have dropped down to the relegation zone in 18th place. Manchester City, who have drawn their last 6 matches, are at home to Hull City who came out on top of a five goal thriller against Everton in mid-week. City’s run of draws has seen them drop to 6th place while the Tigers are up to 15th. Bottom placed Portsmouth, who have just sacked their manager Paul Hart, must face second-placed Manchester United at Fratton Park.
West Ham have climbed above the drop zone and are in 17th place and face Burnley, a side who have only picked-up one point in their travels this season. Burnley’s home form has been good enough to keep them in 11th place though. The side with the worst defensive record in the League, Wigan Athletic, are at home to 8th placed Sunderland. Wigan were on the receiving end of a 9-1 thrashing at White Hart Lane last weekend, which included 8 second-half goals for Spurs. Sunderland had a great 1-0 win over Arsenal to keep them in touching distance of the European places.
The early Sunday kick-off sees Woves, deep in trouble in 19th place, at home to local rivals Birmingham City who are 13th. Wolves went down 4-0 to Chelsea last weekend while Birmingham picked-up the points at home against Fulham. The Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool follows with both clubs some way off their best form. Everton lost 3-2 to Hull mid-week while Liverpool shared 4 goals at home to Manchester City. The two clubs are 14th and 7th in the standings respectively.
The final match of the weekend is perhaps the one most eagerly anticipated – third placed Arsenal at home to League leaders Chelsea. Arsenal slipped-up badly at Sunderland last time out while Chelsea’s form continues to impress after a solid 4-0 win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

High Heat Baseball 2004 $0.01 As usual High Heat Major League Baseball 2004 isn’t quite as pretty as most of the competition, but the game does have a nostalgic look that’s quite stylish–kind of like the difference between now-torn down County Stadium and the new Miller Park that replaced it in Milwaukee. A major area of improvement is in player animation. The players aren’t stiff anymore; they move like human beings. A bit o… |
