Liverpool have won two and Chelsea one of the clubs' recent battles in Europe, but the Blues won the most recent in last year's semi-finals.

Rafa Benitez's side won the 2004/05 semi-final, before the teams locked horns in the 2005/06 group stage. Liverpool then won the 2006/07 semi-final against Chelsea, who turned the tables under Avram Grant in last season's semis.

Watch Wigan Athletic v Hull City Live Streaming

Wigan manager Steve Bruce's main concern as the season enters its final two months is preventing his players' focus drifting towards thoughts of their summer holidays.

The Latics are comfortably positioned in eighth in the Barclays Premier League, nine points clear of the relegation zone.

With safety all but mathematically achieved this season Bruce wants his squad to start thinking about pushing for a European place and not booking a European vacation.

A spot in next season's Europa Cup would have been much more of a reality had the club not gone eight matches without a win before last weekend's victory at Sunderland.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes believes a number of his players can learn from the shining example set by Stephen Ireland.City midfielder Ireland has been in inspirational form this season after putting the controversies of recent years behind him to concentrate on his football. 

The 22-year-old Irishman made more headlines off the field than on last season, most infamously after telling a white lie about the death of a grandmother. 

Now those problems seem to be in the past and Ireland was again superb as City secured a place in the last eight of the UEFA Cup in Aalborg on Thursday. 

"He is having an outstanding season," said Hughes. "We keep mentioning the season he is having but he is a guy that has a real drive and determination to have an impact on every game he plays. 

"He is prepared to stand up and be counted and put a shift in for the team.

"I am thinking of making my life at Barca and if they carry on treating me as well as they are now I'd like to hang up my boots here," the Brazilian former Sevilla player said on the club website.

Malaga forward Alberto Luque said coach Antonio Tapia had told the players they need to score at least two goals if they are to beat Barca.

"This is the season for heroic deeds and exceeding expectations that we never even imagined," he said.

"Ours is a group of extraordinary lads, who are all united, we're growing." 

One player who will not be at the Stadio Olimpico next season is veteran Pavel Nedved, who announced his decision to retire at the end of the current campaign at the age of 36.

Watch Lyon v Sochaux Live Streaming

Lyon and PSG do not play until Sunday, meaning Marseille and Bordeaux have a chance to jump to the summit for 24 hours at least - and it will be a surprise if either side fail to win on Saturday night. 

OM, fresh from a 3-1 win over PSG last weekend and having secured their progress into the UEFA quarter-finals on Wednesday night at the expense of Ajax, are at home to fifth-bottom Nantes, who are winless in six games. 

Les Girondins, meanwhile, travel to bottom side Le Havre, who appear doomed as they are 11 points adrift of safety with just 10 rounds of fixtures left. 

Lyon welcome fourth-bottom Sochaux late on Sunday afternoon and, according to their defender Mathieu Bodmer, are still in the driving seat to claim their eighth successive title even though they have lost their last four matches in all competitions.

Hamburg boss Martin Jol feels his side will be up against one of the best six sides in England when they face Manchester City in the UEFA Cup.The second leg at Eastlands will mean a return to England for former Tottenham manager Jol, while the game will also mean a reunion with former team-mates for City midfielders Vincent Kompany and Nigel de Jong. 

Kompany left the HSV-Arena for the Premier League last August, with De Jong making the same move in the January transfer window. 

The duo are just two of a host of new faces City boss Mark Hughes has brought into the club, and Jol feels they are now a force to be reckoned with. 

"Manchester City are a team that for me are among the best six in England," he told the club's official website. 

Fulham v Manchester United Live Streaming

Without a doubt, Barcelona are the team that most clubs will look to avoid. They appear to have got over their little blip and are in fairly barnstorming form yet again. Saying that, there’s never any point in looking to avoid any side in the Champions League because if you’re looking to win the thing you’ll have to beat the best anyway. Plus, we are the holders so we should have absolutely no fear in facing any side at all!

Onto the next topic; the away at Fulham on Saturday. Fulham (in the FA Cup) we beat them 4-0, with goals from Park, Roo and Tevez. After that match everyone was quick to say how unbeatable are and how they don’t even have to try to win anymore. This time, however, is different. Despite still being 4 points ahead of ‘Pool and Chelsea at the top of the EPL with a game in hand united should see this as something to prove. After being demolished by Liverpool last Saturday there have been immediate retractions regarding peeps’ statements about united’s invincibility. If united don’t win against Fulham then they’re be even more saying that we’re letting the title slip. In my opinion united need to win, and win big if only just to silence the naysayers.

I really hope we hammer Fulham and put the Liverpool game behind us. Because if we do beat Fulham convincingly we can put to bed the doubts and put down the Liverpool defeat as just an awful, tiny blip.

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea Live Streaming

The opponent will be fellow Billionaires Manchester City and, following United’s defeat on Saturday, this match represents a chance for Chelsea to remain four points adrift of the top (despite United’s game in hand).

Former Blues Wayne Bridge and Shaun Wright-Phillips return to the Bridge for the first time since their respective departures. You can bet both are eyeing stellar performances in front of the Chelsea faithful, especially Wright-Phillips who was never quite viewed with revere during his time at Chelsea.

The most prudent news for Chelsea is the possible return to the starting XI of Ricky Carvalho. The Portugese defender has been absent for a loooong time with a hamstring injury, but appears fit as fit can be. If he does return, it would be rather harsh on Alex don’t you think? I mean, the big man has his flaws but he’s performed admirably over the past month or so. Plus, how can you bench a guy with such a cool finish? I guess we’ll see.

The man we’d all like to see hit the bench … wait, there’s two actually. Get Michael Ballack and Florent Malouda out of my face. Unfortunately, neither will likely be benched. Then again, maybe Guus has had enough.

Newcastle United v Arsenal Live Streaming

Kickoff is real soon and I’ve been too busy to write up a proper review, so time for a few quick hits. First things first: this competition is the only legitimate chance Arsenal has for silverware this season. You can’t really argue with that — while they are alive and kicking in the Champions League I have a hard time believing, that they have a realistic shot of winning sans Arshavin and Cesc. That remains to be seen.

A semifinal awaits the winner and I’m hoping that Arsenal gets revenge over Hull, who if you recall, won at the Emirates in the league this season. While their magic fairy dust has worn off a bit and things aren’t as rosy as they were at the start of the year, Phil Brown will have his players ready to give Arsenal a real go of things.

Portsmouth v Everton Live Streaming

Everton maintained its five match unbeaten streak with a 3-1 victory over Stoke City at Goodison. The victory keeps the Toffees pressure on Arsenal with an immediate goal for winning a Europa League spot.

With the injury situation slowly clearing up, David Moyes was able to pull Timmy Cahill back into his more natural midfield position and use Jô as the lone striker. The plan worked to perfection early as the Toffees threatened early on. After a few closes misses Everton took the lead eighteen minutes in as the ex-CSKA Moscow man Jô sent the ball into the net as he received Marouane Fellaini’s, sans bushy man, cross. Only seven minutes later Joleon Lescott doubled the margin as got on the end of a rebound from a Timmy Cahill close range chance via Leon Osman’s cross. At the break Louis Saha came in for your favourite Aussie, Timmy Cahill and the current shifted heavily towards the visitors favour. Eight minutes after the restart Ryan Shawcross headed-in Liam Lawrence’s corner and it was “game on” as Everton’s lead was cut in half. Stoke was suddenly controlling play as the Toffees were now holding on as opposed to attacking. Time clicked down slowly and with five minutes remaining David Moyes looked towards Jack Rodwell to provide more stability in the midfield. Looking for the equalizer Stoke was exposed as they threw forward and with five minutes left Leighton Baines launched a long ball for Marouane Fellaini, which the Belgian neatly accepted he ball and sent it in for a final 3-1 victory

West Bromwich v Bolton Wanderers Live Streaming

As the in form Zoltan Gera will no doubt take his place on the right of midfield, it is the vacant left wing slot that’ll be the one to watch. The candidates are:

- South Korean international Kim Do-Heon is yet to make a start for Albion. Though naturally a central midfield player, the new boy is very highly rated by Mowbray and with an excellent record at international level, Kim has to be the favorite to deputize.

- Dutch under-21 international Sherjill Macdonald has just returned from a very successful loan spell at Hereford. With great pace, power, an eye for goal and the ability to beat his man, Sherjill could be an ace attacking option on the wing.

- England under-21 duo Ishmael Miller and Luke Moore are both at the club as strikers but have done a job on the wing in the premiership for Man City and Villa respectively. Should they be asked to fill in, both are more than capable of doing a job at this level.

Underestimate our injury ridden squad at your peril!!! These lads will all be desperate to impress and possess the quality to do so.

Blackburn Rovers v West Ham Live Streaming

At exactly 3.15pm on Saturday, Paul Ince must have felt like he was friendless and out in the cold. His Blackburn team were being ripped apart by a Wigan side who were playing free-flowing football, for arguably the first time at home this season.

It really wasn’t nice to see thousands of Blackburn fans throw their arms towards Ince with chants of ‘you’re getting sacked in the morning’. Fair enough, these fans had paid £30 to watch what was a shower of shite in the first half, but it is never nice to see someone lose their job, unless their name is Piers Morgan.

Wigan are now up to 9th in the league and with a bit of a break in the league, due to Manchester United embarking on their money spinning trip to Japan. Their next game is at home to Newcastle on Boxing Day. Win that and they really are on one hell of a roll.

One last point. There were many Blackburn fans in santa costumes at the match on Saturday, but they left early in the second half, when it was rumoured that Ince had got the sack.

Stoke City v Middlesbrough Live Streaming

Pompey went one up after 25 minutes despite long-throws causing a problem and Stoke would rue Kitson’s missed chance early on when Defoe picked up the ball and found Crouch who finished with a spectacular overhead kick. Stoke’s long balls were being picked up easily. Defoe looked desperate to score and had claims for a penalty turned away and rightly so as he lost his footing.

Fuller put in a typically committed performance and used his strength to scramble home an equaliser in the 48th minute stemming from a Rory Delap long-throw. It would clearly not be enough to steal a point however. Traore’s service to Defoe pointed to this as both he and Diop kept coming close. Simonsen did very well to keep out many of these efforts, depite getting booked in the process for a foul on Traore outside of the area.

It was not only Pompey that had a penalty shout however, Stoke had two of their own. Fuller latched onto the end of Michael Tonge’s ball through the centre before being brought down by David James as he attempted to take it around him. Fuller was also the man in the middle of the second penalty controversy as Sol Campbell appeared to fall on top of him. Yet again claims were turned away.

Bruce was left fuming following the 2-1 loss, blaming Probert for failing to spot an apparent push from Frank Lampard on Mario Melchiot before the midfielder headed home the last-gasp winner.

A seething Bruce later launched into a tirade about how the big clubs are always favoured by the officials, frustratingly stating: "It makes you that angry you think 'Is it all worth it?' at times."

But a humble Bruce has since seen the error of his remarks.

It's quite unfair to be criticising the manager this much when the season isn't even finished and when theoretically, if there's a good result at Old Trafford, it could end up with them winning the Premier League.

Watch Hull City v Newcastle United Live Streaming

Hull City Association Football Club was founded in 1904 after several attempts to establish a football club over the years. These were undermined by the dominance of rugby in the city. The club initially played friendly matches at The Boulevard (the home of the Hull Rugby League club), Anlaby Road Cricket Ground and Dairycoates. They were elected to the Second Division of the Football League a year later.

City moved to a new home in Anlaby Road where they stayed until 1941, before wartime matches saw a brief return to The Boulevard.
The 1909/10 season was the nearest Hull came to a place in the top flight when they finished third, missing out on an automatic promotion place to Oldham Athletic as a result of an inferior goal average.

Before the First World War, Hull reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, and they went one better than that in the 1929/30 season when reaching the semis. They lost 1-0 to Arsenal in a replay following an initial 2-2 draw. However, this fine run meant their concentration was deflected away from the league and they were relegated to the Third Division (North).

Watch Middlesbrough v Portsmouth Live Streaming

Middlesbrough have spent the last 10 seasons in the Premier League and 12 seasons in total. The 2004/05 season represented their best in the Premier League, as they secured a 7th place finish. Otherwise, Boro have generally been comfortable in the top flight and often excelled in the cup competitions.

After finishing runners-up in the League Cup in 1997 and 1998, Boro won the trophy for the first time when, under Steve McClaren, they defeated Bolton Wanderers 2-1 at the Millennium Stadium . Two years later, they were beaten by Sevilla in the Uefa Cup final after a dramatic run which saw them mount stunning late comebacks in the previous two rounds against Basel and Steaua Bucharest respectively.

Current manager Gareth Southgate helped the North East club to a 13th place finish last season. Middlesbrough paid the first-ever four-figure transfer fee for a player in 1905 when they spent £1,000 on centre

Wigan Athletic won promotion to England's top flight for the first time ever in 2005 and have stayed in the Premier League for the last three seasons. Remaining in the top half of the table for almost the entire 2005/06 campaign, the Latics also reached the League Cup final for the first time in their history.

They surprised teams with their dynamism in attack and ability to continue carving out chances. Wigan's rise has been swift. Playing in the old Third Division when local millionaire Dave Whelan purchased the club in 1995, his Premier League ambitions were realised in just 10 years.

Wigan found the 2006/07 season more taxing and were pulled into a relegation dogfight. However, they survived on the final day of the campaign after a 2-1 win against relegation rivals Sheffield United. Manager Paul Jewell chose to step down after survival had been guaranteed and was replaced by his assistant Chris Hutchings.

United retained the trophy in the following campaign and romped to further titles in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003. More silverware was added to the Red Devils' burgeoning trophy cabinet with FA Cup success in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 2004, plus League Cup victories in 1992 and 2006.

Perhaps the most memorable time in the club's history was the treble-winning season of 1999 when they added the European Champions League trophy to the league title and FA Cup.

Chelsea briefly broke their league dominance with title wins in 2005 and 2006. But in the 2006/07 season, the Red Devils roared back to regain the Barclays Premiership.

Manchester United are the most successful Premier League club having won the title 10 times. It all began in 1993 when manager Sir Alex Ferguson ended a 26-year wait to lift the Premier League crown.

The signing of Eric Cantona for £1.2million from Leeds United proved a masterstroke as the Frenchman was instrumental in the title victory, along with the likes of Gary Pallister, Denis Irwin, Ryan Giggs and Paul Ince.

Jagielka's stubbornness in the heart of defence - and at right-back when he has had to step in to deputise for the injured Tony Hibbert- has been a major factor in the Toffees' miserly goals against record.

His recent form has even impressed Englandcoach Fabio Capello, who handed the 26-year-old his first full England start in the friendly against Spain.

Chelsea became only the second team to win back-to-back Premier League titles when they clinched it a year later. Mourinho left the club by mutual consent in September 2007.

Shortly after, he led the team to the UEFA Super Cup after a 1-0 win over Real Madrid. The FA Cup followed in 2000. Vialli was replaced by Claudio Ranieri in 2000 and he led Chelsea to another FA Cup final appearance in 2002. 

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the Blues for £140 million. After a trophyless season, he appointed Mourinho as new Chelsea manager and there was instant success. In 2005, Chelsea won the Barclays Premiership and League Cup, along with a Champions League semi-final appearance.

In the last seven days Boro have pulled off what seemed impossible. Knocking a revitalised West Ham out of the FA Cup and shocking the nation in beating Liverpool at the weekend. Suddenly confidence and expectations are high...

Two great results it has to be accepted, but perhaps not as wonderful as would seem. Watching the start of the West Ham tie, The Hammers, couldn`t have started worse if they threw the ball into their own net. 2-0 down in the opening 20 minutes and looking narrow and clueless as the game was lost before they had woken up. Liverpool are having a domestic crisis and this was due judging from their recent up and down showings. This was very much down...

In fairness Boro try to play nice football, but their real problem has been scoring goals. Prior to those two win`s they had lost eight and drew six of their last fourteen games, scoring only five goals in the process. Whether these last two wins are a new found form or poor opposition performances is up for debate, but it will certainly make them feel they can come to Spurs and win.

With Boro heading south with new found belief, Spurs are on the rebound from 120 minutes at Wembley and the loss of the Carling Cup. Which side will turn up is anyone`s guess. A team determined to put the disappointment to bed, or one still with a Cup final hangover?

Bolton deserved the win as they played the better football and created more chances than a lacklustre Newcastle, who were missing several key players through injury and suspension.

Kevin Davies had a very good penalty claim rejected by referee Alan Wiley after Sebastien Bassong pulled him down in the box, while Elmander really should have scored but could only put Mark Davies's low cross over the bar from eight yards out.

Obafemi Martins had two chances for Toon but, at five foot seven inches, he is not the ideal man for headers: one was saved by Jussi Jaaskelainen and a second went over.

The hosts almost opened the scoring in the 10th minute, but Swedish forward Johan Elmander's clever finish from an acute angle was cleared off the line by Spanish full-back Jose Enrique.

"He is a strong personality and he brings a great atmosphere to the dressing room, because he talks to everybody."

Watch Liverpool v Sunderland Live Streaming

Liverpool's first-ever competitive match was in the Lancashire League, where a predominantly Scottish team defeated Higher Walton 8-0 on 23rd September 1892.

Liverpool have maintained their status as a domestic and European force since the Premier League began in 1992, rarely finishing outside the top positions. The club have won seven major trophies since then, including the Champions League, Uefa Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups.

Indeed, 2001 saw the Reds claim an unprecedented League Cup, FA Cup and Uefa Cup treble. Having won more domestic and European trophies than any other English club, Liverpool's status as giants of the domestic game is undisputed.

Under Rafa Benitez, Liverpool have secured Champions League football in each of the last four seasons. The Spaniard guided them to third place in the 2006/07 season and an appearance in the Champions League final where they were beaten 2-1 by AC Milan. They lost to Chelsea in the semi-finals of the competition last season and secured a fourth place finish in the league.

Chelsea will be desperate to regain the Premier League crown after finishing second to Manchester United in the last two seasons. Former manager Jose Mourinho, bankrolled by owner Roman Abromovich's millions, brought the first title to Stamford Bridge for 50 years when the Blues lifted the trophy in 2005. Chelsea became only the second team to win back-to-back Premier League titles when they clinched it a year later. Mourinho left the club by mutual consent in September 2007.

Shortly after, he led the team to the UEFA Super Cup after a 1-0 win over Real Madrid. The FA Cup followed in 2000. Vialli was replaced by Claudio Ranieri in 2000 and he led Chelsea to another FA Cup final appearance in 2002.

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the Blues for £140 million. After a trophyless season, he appointed Mourinho as new Chelsea manager and there was instant success. In 2005, Chelsea won the Barclays Premiership and League Cup, along with a Champions League semi-final appearance.

Arsenal may have been off the pace in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93, but they made up for it by winning both the FA and League Cups.

The Premier League crown eluded them until 1998 - two years into manager Arsene Wenger's tenure - when they did the league and FA Cup double. Under the Frenchman, the Gunners shook off their "boring" image and began to play some of the most attractive football in England.

In eight of his 12 seasons at the club, Arsenal have finished first or second. And together with star players such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp, Wenger took Arsenal to another "double" in 2002.

The Gunners reached the Champions' League final in 2006, becoming the first London team to do so, but lost to Barcelona. Their Barclaycard Premiership title in 2003/04 saw them become only the second team to win the league without losing a match - earning them the title "The Invincibles." Overall they went 49 matches unbeaten, which is a national record.

Oldham boss John Sheridan will be reluctant to make changes when his former club Leeds make the short trip to Boundary Park.The Latics claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory at play-off rivals Millwall on Saturday thanks to Chris Taylor's last-gasp winner. 

Striker Steve Kabba made his debut against the Lions after joining on loan from Watford until the end of the season. 

The former Sheffield United man is in line to make his home bow as Oldham bid to enhance their promotion credentials. 

Sheridan made five changes at Millwall after last week's 2-0 home reverse against Bristol Rovers as Kabba, Greg Fleming, Kevin Maher, Neal Eardley and Daniel Jones were handed starting berths. 

Ex-Leeds favourite Sheridan has no fresh injury concerns but veteran goalkeeper Mark Crossley is still sidelined with a back injury and could be out for at least another month.
