Live Premier League football this weekend pits familiar foes against each other as defending champions Manchester United welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford. This past weekend Manchester United was able to bounce back from a very lackluster performance as they put a beating on Wigan Athletic by a score of 5-0. The team got some excellent play from Wayne Rooney as he netted two important goals and also saw some life from new signing Michael Owen who hit the back of the net for the first time since joining the team. They will need the same kind of effort against Arsenal and will be hoping for a big win in order to show the world that they are a top contending team and that they can play just fine without Ronaldo.
Arsenal was able to continue their strong start to the season thanks to a big 4-1 victory over Portsmouth but they will be in for their biggest test so far against Manchester United. Arsene Wegner will need all the big guns such as Abou Diaby and William Galas to continue their strong play and come out quick against Man Utd if they want the big win.
Wolves will look to use the home advantage and claim all three points in what is probably an early six-pointer of the season when they welcome Hull City this weekend. A match between two teams with just one win so far on the season will get underway this weekend as the Wolverhampton Wolves take on Hull City live right here on OleOleFootball. Both teams need to turn things around after some closely contested losses and will be looking to come out quick and jump all over their opponents on Saturday August 29th.
Wolves had a lot of chances in that game and manager Mick McCarthy was left to rue what might have been. However his team bounced back from that loss to beat Swindon Town 6-5 on penalties in the Carling Cup during the id week. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Chris Iwelumo, Michael Kightly and Kevin Foley continue to miss out with various injuries.
Tottenham will look to maintain what has been the best ever start to a premiership campaign in 49 years when they welcome Birmingham to White Hart Lane this weekend. The big news out of the EPL so far this year has to be the impressive play from Tottenham for every minute of football this year. They have dominated their opponents and will look to continue doing so this weekend as they take on Birmingham City in what should be an exciting live football game. Birmingham will be the underdog in the game but will be looking to prove that their slow start is not because of lack of talent or drive.
Redknapp has dealt admirably with a host of injury issues as Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Dawson, Jermaine Jenas, Gareth Bale and Heurelho Gomes are keeping the medical staff busy. He is also looking to add another couple of players and has expressed an interest in acquiring the services of Rafael Van Der Vart.
Meanwhile Birmingham were held to a 0-0 draw by Stoke City last week. The Blues had a great chance in the second half, but a heroic save from Potters goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen denied them all three points.
Stoke City and Sunderland will be continuing their 2009-10 EPL seasons as they square off against one another on Saturday August 29th. Sunderland will be hoping to continue their strong play this year while Stoke City will be looking for a little more consistency from their top players. The Potters have had a decent start to the season, winning one game and losing another. Last week they drew 0-0 against Birmingham thanks to Stoke goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen, who effected some superb saves in the latter half of the game.
Stoke City has been a picture of inconsistency so far this year and have to be disappointed in the fact that they could not finish off Birmingham City last weekend. In their 0-0 tie they did manage to get by with a point but the team has to feel they should have gotten three. They have now been shutout in two straight games and haven’t found the back of the net since their first game when Jordan and Ryan Shawcross scored.
Blackburn will still be searching for their first points of this campaign when they take on West Ham this Saturday. Even though it is early in the season, this weekend will prove to be quite important for both Blackburn and West Ham utd. West Ham will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Tottenham on the weekend although they should take comfort in the fact that they played well. On the other hand Blackburn has not been able to win a game so far as of yet and need one soon.
Blackburn are looking to bring in Pascal Chimbonda as it appears that Stephen Warnock is headed to Aston Villa.
Liverpool will look to continue from where they left off against Stoke City when they welcome Martin O'Neill's Aston Villa outfit to Anfield on Monday night.
The Reds were stunned 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in their opening game of the new Premiership season, but bounced back to rout Stoke City 4-0 on Wednesday night. Star striker Fernando Torres gave Liverpool an early lead, which was doubled by new signing Glen Johnson just before half time. Dutch international Dirk Kuyt and young Frenchman David Ngog added late goals to make the scoreline look even more one sided.
Liverpool face Aston Villa in the Premier League game of the day. Liverpool will be buoyant after their 4-1 away victory at rivals Manchester United. Aston Villa will be desperate to get their Champions League challenge back on track, after a bad run of form. You can watch all the action from this all-important game, right here on oleolefootball the home of live football streaming.
Burnley claimed a major scalp in their first home match back in the top flight as they pulled off a shock 1-0 victory against champions Manchester United at Turf Moor in midweek.
While Burnley did lose their first game this season they bounced back in a big way thanks to a win over Manchester United. They stayed strong and competed well with the English giants and pulled out the victory thanks to a goal from Robbie Blake in the 18th minute. If they can get the same impressive play from Blake and goalkeeper Brian Jensen then Burnley may be able to pull off another upset this weekend.
In their only game so far this EPL season Everton was blown out of the water by Arsenal. They could not get anything started except for a goal from Saha, and couldn’t stop the barrage of goals from Arsenal. They will need to come up with a much more consistent all around effort if they want to compete against Burnley and climb out of the basement of the English Premier League. You can be sure David Moyes will have his team fired up and ready for the game this weekend.
That saw them bounce back from their opening day defeat at Stoke City while Everton also recovered. After going down 6-1 at home to Arsenal, they chalked up a 4-0 win over Sigma Olomouc in the Europa League qualifer.
The Clarets have not lost in their last five top flight meetings with the Merseysiders, the most recent in 1976.
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur Live Streaming
0 comments Posted by Sports Live On Pc at 9:10 PMWest Ham Utd came up big in their first game of the 2009-10 EPL season with a 2-0 victory over the Wolverhampton Wanderers. The team got top notch play from Mark Noble and Matthew Upson and will need more of the same against Tottenham. Gianfranco Zola is hoping that his team can use the momentum to play a better game than they did in the Asia Trophy game. West Ham will need to prepare hard and hope that everything falls their way to overcome this test against Tottenham, but they may prove up to the task.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp returns to his old club with his side still basking in the glow of a 2-1 win at home to Liverpool and then a thumping 5-1 victory at Hull City.
Jermain Defoe also returns to Upton Park and is full of confidence after his midweek hat-trick brought his tally to five goals in three matches for club and country.
However the Hammers are also on a high after their opening day 2-0 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Spurs have not conceded a goal in their last three meetings with West Ham and have not lost in their last three visits to the Boleyn Ground.
Manchester United will be involved in a very important live English Premier League game this weekend as they take on Wigan Athletic on Saturday August 22nd. Man U has always been a favorite to compete for the league title but this year the team seems to be missing that something special that they usually have. They played uninspired football in their first game and then were upset by Burnley this past week. They will need to bounce back quick in order to compete with Wigan Athletic this weekend and prove that they are still one of the teams to beat in the EPL.
Wigan Athletic started off their 2009-10 EPL season on the right note with a convincing 2-0 win over Aston Villa. However, that did not carry over to the next game as they were outplayed and upset by a score of 0-1 against the Wolverhampton Wanderers. They will definitely need to be at their best this weekend and rely on top flight play from Hugo Rodallega and Jordi Gomez. It will be interesting to see if Roberto Martinez elects to use Jason Scotland in this game or leave him on the bench again.
Sunderland had high hopes entering their game against Chelsea but could not keep up with the squad that Carlo Ancelotti has put together. While Sunderland did strike first they could not hold off Chelsea for long and fell victim thanks to goals from Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard, and Deco. It was a struggle for Sunderland to keep up most of the game but they did show some promise. Darren Bent scored for the second time in two games to lead the team. They have a lot to learn from the game and should be able to use those lessons to help gain a victory over Blackburn on Saturday August 22nd.
Blackburn was dominated by Manchester City on Tuesday and will need to come out with a much better effort against Sunderland. Just three minutes in Emmanuel Adebayor drove home a pass from Shaun-Wright Phillips and Man City did not look back from there.
City had the second best home record in the Barclays Premier League last season behind neighbours United while Wolves had the most wins on the road in the Championship.
Wolverhampton jumped out quickly in their game against Wigan Athletic as they scored in just the 5th minute when Andy Keogh drove a header to the back of the net. Many were predicting that Wigan would manhandle the Wolves in their home game but it wasn’t meant to be for Roberto Martinez and his squad. Instead the Wolves pulled away with three points and look like they are up for competing this year.
On the other side of the pitch Manchester City lived up to their expectations and handled Blackburn with ease in their game. Even without some of their stars playing such as Carlos Tevez, City showed what they were able to do and have to be one of the favorites to compete at the top of the table this year. A big win over the Wolves would give them a jumpstart on the competition and prove that they are for real this 2009-10 English Premier League season.
Hull City has been unable to score goals or defend well so far this season and it isn’t looking good for Hull fans. After battling it out with Chelsea in a 1-2 loss, the team was then dominated by the Tottenham hotspurs by a score of 1-5. While the team did find the back of the net in both games thanks in large part to strong play from Stephen Hunt, they need to do more. They should be able to play with Bolton and compete much better than they did in the previous games and it will be interesting to see how well Phil Brown has prepared his team.
Bolton has only been a part of one live English Premier League game so far this year and there were a few positives that came from the game even though they lost. They were unable to score but their defence was tested quite a bit by Sunderland and especially Darren Bent, but they stood strong. Jussi Jaaskelainen played very well in net and the offense led by Muamba and Elmander should be improved in this game with a bit more practice.
Birmingham's first win back in the Barclays Premier League came in midweek as a last-minute penalty gave them a 1-0 success at home to Portsmouth.
The Blues now host a Stoke City side who beat Burnley 2-0 on the opening day but then lost 4-0 at Liverpool in midweek.
Stoke City got off to a good start this season with an important victory but were dominated by Liverpool in their most recent game. Stoke was unable to get anything going offensively and had a very difficult time shutting down a high powered Liverpool team as they lost by a final score of 0-4.
Liverpool scored within the first five minutes as Torres scored and then Steven Gerrard led the way for the rest of the game. Stoke City and manager Tony Pulis will need much better performances from players such as James Beattie and Ryan Shawcross if they hope to win against Birmingham
It is 21 years since the Potters last won at St Andrews where Birmingham were beaten only once during 2007/08, their last season in the top flight.
Stoke won only twice away from home after taking the Blues' place in the Barclays Premier League.

This is not the first time Real Madrid are playing DC United. The two sides met at Qwest Field in Real’s 2006 American tour. That game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Alecko Eskandarian scoring for DC and Antonio Cassano scoring for Real Madrid.
Football - The 20 June match between Cameroon and Gabon in the final phase of the joint qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup/African Cup of Nations may be postponed due to the death of Gabonese President Omar Bongo Ondimba.
Sources close to Cameroon's football federation (FECAFOOT) told PANA here Thursd ay that Gabon has written to world soccer's governing body FIFA to seek a postponement of the tie, scheduled for Libreville, after Gabon declared 30 days of mourning in memory of the late President.
The request, which was also communicated to FECAFOOT, has received a favourable response from Cameroon, the sources said.
Gabon leads group A of the qualifiers with six points after beating Morocco 2-1 in Casablanca and Togo 3-0 in Libreville.
Fifa World Cup 2010 Qualifying : The match between Algeria and Zambia, counting for the 4th day of the combined playoffs WC-ACN 2010, scheduled for September 5, will be held at the ‘5 July Stadium’, said Monday evening the national Coach, Rabah Saadane.
The match is expected to determine the leadership of this group as both Algeria and Zambia are tied on four points each after two matches with the North Africans ahead on a better goals difference.
French coach Herve Renard confirmed Mbesuma’s exclusion after the national team’s morning work out at Sunset Stadium.
Many pundits believe that this could well be the end of era for one of Zambia’s most talented player in the last decade after he missed a penalty over the weekend against Rwanda.
The first-half substitute was also replaced in the second half with Renard insisting he did his best but was most probably put off by his penalty miss only minutes after he came off the bench.
