For neutrals, there are only two matches in the Premiership this weekend: on Sunday, Chelsea faces Liverpool while Manchester United hosts Arsenal. Oh, and in between, West Ham, with its pair of brand new Argentines, also has an intriguing battle against Newcastle at St. James’ Park. The first two fixtures involve England’s four biggest clubs, and it’s no secret their respective managers do not like one another. Over the years, there’s certainly been no love lost between Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger. They are the Premiership’s longest-serving managers, and have been feuding for years. Since the Jose Mourinho era began, no team has played more matches against Chelsea than Liverpool, and with the exception of last season’s 4-1 drubbing at Anfield, Liverpool has had the slight edge head-to-head, especially in knockout competitions. These are often close matches with a tendency to end 0-0. Mourinho warmed up for his latest confrontation with Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez by backing up his vice captain and center midfielder Frank Lampard, who’s been a target of criticism for the media since his poor showing at the World Cup for England. “You know why [Lampard] is guilty?” Mourinho said. “He is guilty because you never had a player like him in the last 10 years. He is guilty because he scores so many goals, because he plays so many matches, because he plays game after game for Chelsea and England with 100 percent effort. He is guilty because he beats an unbelievable record of consecutive matches. He is guilty because he is such a good player. But you should respect him a little bit more.” Meanwhile, Arsenal, winless in the Premiership so far this season, is likely to play Man Utd without its top two strikers on Sunday. Both Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie are out injured.
