English Premiership Match reviews 31st Jan-Match pteviews also

 With Chelsea heading to Burnley to keep the pressure on Man u for this years premier league title all the focus was centred around John Terry and the news headlines were not a vote of confidence for the Chelsea and England captain now i blog about football so putting that a side lets get on with the football i say. Chelsea needed to win yesterday and win they did but the 1st half we saw them maybe a little unsure they did not go at Burnley the way we have seen them start previous games i like watching Chelsea(only like now)as they do play some great football they are all out attack but yesterday they were not the same they had chances and new signing Leon Cort was just amazing in the Burnley defence tackle after tackle he just was up for it, until the 1st goal, it took Chelsea around 30mins to get the opener and it came from Anelka(who else)Joe Cole started the move with a high cross to the back post, it looked a lost cause, until, Malouda chased the ball, who got it back into the area and Anelka lost two defenders to coolly finish to open there account for the day.

It didn't take long in the 2nd half for Chelsea(who looked like they were playing much better)to get the goal they needed, Joe Cole was the man who got it in the net BUT it was was ruled offside in the 56th min, Lampard had a close one before that only to be saved, Chelsea kept the preasure up on Burnley and that question was running threw my head not if but when will they get that goal and it came when Ancelotti decided to switch things around in the 73rd minute and brought on Daniel Sturridge for Joe Cole, who else but Terry, Terry managed to get on the end of a cross in from a corrner by Malouda the ball came in to, the box in the 83rd min, Terry headed it in the net to give them the winning goal and take them 4 points in lead of Man u who play today all in all a slow start by Chelsea but they done what they needed and unlucky Burnley they did play well defensivly.

Match previews - Sun 31st Jan
A look ahead to Sunday's fixtures in the Barclays Premier League.

Arsenal and Manchester United will aim to enhance their Barclays Premier League title credentials as they meet in a mouth-watering fixture at the Emirates Stadium.

In the day's other match, bottom club Portsmouth bid to become the first visitors this season to win at Manchester City

Man City v Portsmouth

Manchester City are unbeaten at Eastlands this season, dropping just six points in front of their own fans.

Portsmouth have taken just one point from a possible 15 on the road and have not won a league match at Manchester City in 15 visits since August 1963.

City have scored in their last 20 home fixtures and if they find the net against Pompey, it will be their best scoring sequence since 1958.

Arsenal v Man Utd

Arsenal are unbeaten in 10 league matches, taking 24 points. They are the division's top scorers but their goalless draw at Aston Villa was their first of the season.

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four league matches against the Gunners but have not won at the Emirates in the Barclays Premier League.

Arsene Wenger is chasing his 300th win as a Premier League manager. Victory against United would see him become only the second manager to reach this milestone after Sir Alex Ferguson who is currently on 438.

A look ahead to Monday's fixture in the Barclays Premier League.

Sunderland host Stoke City on Monday with both clubs looking nervously over their shoulders.

The Black Cats have slipped to the fringe of the relegation battle after taking just three points from a possible 27.

They have won only one of their last 13 and have leaked 18 goals in their last six matches.

survival scrap

Stoke sit just two points above the Wearsiders and manager Tony Pulis is keen to ensure his side do not get sucked into a survival scrap.

After failing to win any of their final six fixtures of 2009, the Potters are unbeaten this year and seem to be bouncing back to their best on the evidence of an impressive win against Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Stoke have failed to win in their last seven visits to Sunderland but have drawn four. They have won only once on the road this season while Steve Bruce's men have been beaten only twice at the Stadium of Light.
