Jose Mourinho is ten years younger than his rival for today Manuel Pellegrini.Both are equally adept and have achieved on par in their careers. Today's matchup between West Ham and Tottenham is a good contest between the two coaches, a 67 year old and a 57 year old.<br />
<br />
The match has an early offside-ruled goal from Harry Kane and an early yellow card for Diop of West Ham.though an odd one, within 15 minutes.</div>

with mourinho at the helm,inter are as much a superstar side as ac milan,who were put out by man u.<br />
the inter of ronaldo and vieri did not achieve much in europe in the last decade.<br />
under mourinho,they face the hurdle of chelsea at home.<br />
chelsea vs barcelona was the highlight of the champions league at the beginning of the millennium,when gianfranco zola used to be the star.<br />
today,if mourinho manages to extend his unbeaten record at stamford bridge,over his three seasons,inter will be favourites for the title.<br />

this one is tough for benitez and will be an engrossing match with the way the managers approach it.<br />
villa will possibly go for an attacking game.<br />
liverpool seem to be in need of some south american flair or atleast some young striker to supplement torres.<br />
<br />

<br />
the other match between bolton and hull will also be a good one,18th and 19th in the league.<br />
bolton are a vastly reduced side from the days of sam allardyce and hull have some good players.<br />
<br />
the predictions from mark lawrenson.<br />
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8431877.stm<br />
<br />
i think it will be either 3-3 or 0-0 for villa v liverpool.<br />
bolton should make it 2-1.<br />

quoteshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chrischarles/2009/12/quotes_of_the_decade_part_i.html<br /><br />this weekend has a few good matchups,fulham vs tottenham and arsenal vs villa.<br /><br />i expect villa to beat arsenal and fulham v tottenham to be 3-3 with defoe,duff and dempsey scoring as all are there in my fantasy team with redknapp also as my manager.<br />mark lawrenson has predicted 2-2.the more the merrier.<br /><br />sir alex fergusons comment about city replacing mark hughes sounded unnecessary and if hull hold them to a fighting draw,sir alex will be drawing flak.<br />mark hughes had done a great job but a sense of sureness was not there.it would have been better if he had managed to stem the goals allowed.<br />the italian efficiency is sure to do the job but at the cost of the flair and the presence of someone like mark hughes.<br />the mancinis and the ancellottis have a pedigree and a professionalism which will be liked by the owners as it will all be professional without the local angle.<br />all said and done,it seems only fair that sir alex made his comments about the way that hughes was replaced.<br />it will hopefully be a 2-0 win for united,as lawro has predicted.<br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8428085.stm<br />it might be possible that united,chelsea and arsenal all lose this weekend.<br /><input id="gwProxy"

bit of a underdog image.<br />i hope he begins to get it right and can get things going.<br />there are goals being scored but conceded also.it looks like there is a great chance for the team developing a very attractive game at the expense of conceding goals also.<br />as long as they keep in front,it will be good.<br />the more goals a team scores,the more that it will be better rather than scoring at all.<br />zola seems to be going somewhere and the defence will be focussed later.<br />the absence of dean ashton has also deprived them of a good striker.<br />carlton cole was eye
