Champions League – Group B- Tuesday 3 November 2009
Posted by: | CommentsManchester United are back playing as the champions are aiming at a 4th straight win against CSKA Moscow tomorrow night.
United leads the group with nine points from three matches, with Wolfsburg in second with four and CSKA a further point behind. Last-place Besiktas hosts Wolfsburg in Tuesday’s other group match. The England international striker, Wayne Rooney may not be playing because his wife is set to give birth to their first child. CSKA Moscow will be heading to Manchester with a new coach, Leonid Slutsky who replaced Juande Ramos last week after the Ex Real Madrid Spanish coach was sacked less than two months into the job.
Sekou Jabateh Oliseh will be out of Tuesday’s match against Manchester.
With a great enthusiasm, the young CSKA will be playing in the Old Trafford and will challenge Manchester United in their home. Although it is likely that Manchester brings in home the 3 points still the CSKA goal keeper is on Sir Alex’s shopping list for winter. I think it will be an interesting game to watch.
As for the German champions Vfl Wolfsburg, they will be hosted by Besiktas who are at the bottom of the group B. After the draw between the two teams, the odds are that either they draw or I reckon a tight win for Wolfsburg.
Manchester United – Blackburn Rovers 31 October 2009
Posted by: | CommentsPremier League will see Manchester United play against Blackburn Rovers this weekend. After the disappointing loss last weekend against Liverpool 2-0, Manchester United returns home. On the side of coin Blackburn Rovers are eager to win as well since they have lost against Chelsea last week 5-0. Although the odds of winning look very low for the Blackburn Rovers, but I assume they might be able to score at least and not leave Manchester’s net a clean sheet. I am guessing that Manchester need to boost their enthusiasm and motivation so they will run and try to score as many goals as they could. My bet is on the goals this weekend!
