Are Chelsea on fire or what?,.. Even Platini's efforts are not helping..
This week they face Wigan, who frankly should be an easy 3 points. Losing points here would be taboo. Wigan have looked weak. None of their new signings have yet impressed and they seem to be scraping points rather than earning them. Martinez has a long way to go.. If given such a time. Chelsea would thank the gods for such a start with the African Nations Cup taking away their best players come January.
Only Arsenal and ManUtd face tricky ties away to lesser oppositions with a knack for doing well at home. Stoke made their stadium a fortress for most of the top 4 last season( cue Delap for throw ins) and Vidic was key for United in both games. Arsenal were a tad unlucky but were aweful against Fulham when Hangeland tapped one in. But den again, against Fulham you have to muster your A game. Arsenal should be able to knowing Fulham's form has not been great but United have an uphill task. They were lucky against a resillient Stoke side last term and a Tevez goal late on spared their blushes.
Porsmouth.Blackburn and Bolton face a race agiainst time to collect points. This surely is Paul Hart's las weekend to deliver. He has not done well but will be given time since they sold all their best players(Crouch,Johnson,Kranjcar,Distin,Campbell etc..) and hired less than impressive replacements. Only Vanden Borre has impressed so far and Dindane and O'hara are less than impressive replacements.
We see how it goes but keep an eye out for all the games this week as I sense there will be goals aflowing...........
