Arsenal 1 Manchester United 0 football highlights 1/5/11

Arsenal's title hopes were completely crippled at the Reebok stadium last week and it will be a miracle if they are to capture the title back to the emirates and give the club their first trophy in 6 years. However if they manage to beat Manchester United on Sunday when they face them in the league they can dent their secure chances of lifting the trophy and give their London rivals Chelsea a clear opportunity to make it neck and neck in the title race, providing they beat them at Old Trafford a week later. United will be hoping they at least don't slip to a defeat which will give Chelsea room to swipe at them.

Liverpool are on a roll at the moment and firing on all cylinders. last weekend saw them demolish poor Birmingham at Anfield and the Europa league is firmly in their sights with the possible off chance of champions league football next term if other results go their way. The last times the teams met was December when Liverpool were in a downward spiral under Roy Hodgson and Newcastle were triumphant 3-1 with one of the goals scored by Andy Carroll who now plys his trade with the merseysiders and will be looking for an exact flip of him scoring for the reds in a victory. Newcastle are rooted in midtable and don't have much to play for apart from pride and momentum to go into next season.

FC Porto 5 Villareal 1 Europa league highlights 28/4/11

It's the Spanish against the Portugese on Thursday in one of the semi finals of the Europa League competition, FC Porto meet Villareal in Portugal and will be hoping for a good result at home to take into their second leg in Spain. Porto's form in their own Portugese Leagu has been almost immortal as they have yet to lose all season and have only failed to win 2 of their games which ended up as draws. They also stormed to this position of the Europa League by slaughtering Spartak Moscow 10-3 on aggregate in the quarter finals. Villareal also emphatically trounced their quarter final opponents FC Twente to face the Portugese so the tie should be an entertaining one with plenty of fire power up front.

Real Madrid and Barcelona head into the first leg of the "El Clasico" champions league semi final tussling for the honour of a place in the champions league final.

This wednesday's encounter at the Bernabeau stadium will be a far more high pressure affair than that tho and both teams will have to be on top form to gain an advantage going into the second leg at the Nou Camp.

Rangers 0 Celtic 0 football highlights 24/4/11

Rangers chief Walter Smith is preparing for his final old firm encounter on Sunday as he hangs up his managerial career at Ilbrox and Rangers player Steven Naismith will be striving to win against their deadly rivals for the club, not for Smith and he says that Smith will not want the game approached any other way than that. He said: "It will be like any other game. The manager and coaching staff don't really let us get into that way of thinking. They drill into us that it's about the squad and for ourselves. I think it played a big part in the cup final, the way the manager didn't let the fact it was his last game at Hampden get into the dressing room. I'm sure this game will be same and the manager will be drilling into us that it's about us and not about him."

Chelsea 3 West Ham 0 football highlights 23/4/11

Around 2 or 3 months ago Chelsea's title bid was rubbished and laughed at by everybody. Now after a strong run they have snuck up behind Arsenal and have elbowed them out the way to be in second position and have become the main team to pile the pressure on United and bookmakers believe them to be the main challengers for the title. They are now six points behind United and if United slip up again alongside Chelsea consistently winning, Chelsea could edge up right next to them providing they go to Old Trafford and get all three points in their league fixture in a couple of weeks time. With the blues showing championship form and United losing to Manchester City and having a dismal 0-0 draw at Newcastle midweek, United will be sweating that they don't make any mistakes in these last games otherwise Chelsea will steal in to regain the championship.

The live football stream takes place at Stamford Bridge and kicks off at 5:30pm. Team news sees the managers probably choosing the following players for their starting lineups:

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Terry, David Luiz, Cole; Essien, Ramires, Lampard; Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.

West Ham: Green; Jacobsen, Da Costa, Upson, Bridge; O'Neil, Noble, Parker, Hitzlsperger; Cole, Keane.

Manchester United 1 Everton 0 football highlights 23/4/11

When United faced Everton back last September and after going 3-1 ahead they went on to squander their lead with 2 stoppage time goals from Everton holding them to a 3-3 draw it seemed as tho their goal of capturing back the premiership title may look remote.

It's hard to see Everton causing an upset at Old Trafford tomorrow especially as United have the best home form they've ever displayed at Old Trafford, winnign every game but one, which was drawn.

Watch Newcastle vs Manchester United live stream and highlights 19/4/11

Newcastle welcome back Ivory Coast international Cheick Tiote into their ranks for Tuesday's high profile clash with leaders Manchester United at St James Park but coach Alan Pardew has stressed to him that he needs to play within the laws of the game as he has been out due to suspension picked up from bookings. Pardew said: "I haven't had that many Premier League games but he has missed five of them, and that can't be right. He can be overzealous at times. The referee will be important in this game. I don't want the Manchester United factor, with Alex and the way he is with referees, to come into play. It will be important for Alex and myself that 11 players are on the pitch at the end of the game because there is going to be a bit of feistiness in it."
