Staying For More Champions League Football: Evra Will Not Exit Man Utd

THE LATEST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS – Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra downplayed reports that he is bound to transfer to big-spending Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, saying that he is happy to play for the Old Trafford club.

Mitsubishi Mirage Collision: Chelsea, Manchester City, Scoreless in Super Sunday

THE LATEST ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE NEWS – The Stamford Bridge clash between Champions League winners Chelsea and Premier League champions Manchester City on Sunday failed to produce goals from either side.

The 0-0 draw did not reflect lack of attacking sharpness, with both sides exhibiting great control in defence. New Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez stood for his side amidst an unwelcoming home crowd, as he marked his first game for the side with a clean sheet.

Sergio Aguero went close to leading City to win w1th ease, with a half-time effort assisted by Edin Dzeko landing on keeper Petr Cech’s save. Fernando Torres, formerly under Benitez’ Liverpool, made no instant rebirth of his old form – a shot over the bar being his closest chance.

IAN BENNETT

A top show by the seasoned stopper, whose late save from Jabo Ibehre could turn out to be crucial. 8

CALUM WOODS
Like Hunt, was given a test, but responded with spirit before being forced off by a toe injury on 51 minutes. 7

JACK HUNT
Occasionally caught out defensively, but got forward with real menace and his goal was a joy to behold. 7

SEAN MORRISON
A terrific performance by the on-loan Reading defender who rebuffed everything which came his way. 8

PETER CLARKE
The captain showed his desire and commitment by recovering from a blow to the head to complete the game. 8

Linked well with engine-room partner Johnson to ensure Town to the grips with MK in the middle of the park. 8

Premier liga match prview Aston Villa Vs Bolton Wanderers

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: 12BET odds Aston Villa Vs Bolton Wanderers 4/25 2:45AM GMT+8  

Villa have won just one of their last eight matches, but in typical Alex McLeish style, they have picked up four draws in that last eight. They are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, with only Wolves and Wigan having managed less (and only one less at that), so banking on Villa for draws at the moment seems to be the sensible option. Because of their precarious position, they aren’t going to give too much away at the back.

This is a big match for Bolton, because they are four points away from safety, but have two games in hand over the teams above them. If Owen Coyle’s men can top up the point which they earned at home against Swansea on the weekend then they will give themselves a good chance of getting out of trouble. A win would actually pull Bolton in 18th place and only three behind Aston Villa, so things could get pretty interesting in the relegation battle.

Possible lineups: 


Villa: Given; Warnock, Cuellar, Baker, Hutton; Herd, Ireland, Albrighton; N'Zogbia, Weimann, Agbonlahor

Bolton: Bogdan; Ricketts, Wheater, Knight, Steinsson; Petrov, Reo-Coker, Ream, Eagles, Miyachi; Davies

Wayne Rooney was the only representative from champions Manchester United with the league's top goalscorer, Arsenal's Robin van Persie, joining him in attack.


Champions League-chasing Newcastle have been the surprise package of the season and were represented in the XI by Argentina defender Fabricio Coloccini.


Everton full-back Leighton Baines was rewarded for another impressive season by being handed a place, meaning there were no representatives from Champions League semi-finalists Chelsea.

 

Premier liga match preview Manchester United Vs Everton

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: 12BET odds Manchester United Vs Everton 4/22 7:30PM GMT+8  

This game is setup to be a close one, United are the slight favourites due to home advantage, but Everton are capable of giving any team a tough game. Nikica Jelavic has scored 5 goals in his last 5 starts for the Toffees and he will look to make it 6 in this one. On the other hand Wayne Rooney has failed to net in his last 6 against his former club and boyhood team. The timely return of Nani has given Sir Alex another option on the wings which could be pivotal as we enter the final stage of the season.

Probable starting XIs:


Manchester United: De Gea; Rafael, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Nani; Rooney, Welbeck

Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Distin, Heitinga, Neville; Osman, Gibson, Fellaini, Pienaar, Cahill; Jelavic
