Hot off the press

 Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United all face a massive Super Sunday.

For Chelsea and Arsenal there is so much to prove after a couple of week's best forgotten.

Chelsea have been made to look anything but the convincing league leaders they did a month ago. Last week they slipped up at home dropping two more points to Newcastle, that after failing to beat Spurs in the Premier League and losing to Burnley in the Cup in front of their own fans. Then of course on Wednesday night their was the disappointment of the 1-1 draw with Bordeaux in France. Chelsea have been hit by injuries all season, and could be without Joe Cole on Sunday after he suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday.

I saw Arsenal last weekend beaten at Manchester City, their 5th league defeat of the season, and one which surely ends their faint title hopes. They bounced back to beat Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday in the Champions League but it wasn't the most convincing display.

Chelsea v Arsenal encounters are often tight but can be thrilling, Sunday's may be the former, but is highly unlikely to be the latter. Chelsea dare not lose otherwise they are likely to lose ground to Liverpool, who're odds on favourites to beat West Ham at Anfield on Monday, Arsenal mustn't lose otherwise they may genuinely face a fight to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Sunday also sees the local scrap at Eastlands between Manchester's City and Utd. City won both games last season, thanks to an Elano strike and then the game to commemorate the Munich disaster 2-1 at Old Trafford in February. City will welcome back Robinho who I saw for the first time live last week. While I have seen many foreign players come to England just for an easy time or to pick up a big pay packet, Robinho looks the real deal, a player who's here to play football and entertain. Sunday is already being billed as Ronaldo vs Robinho, a bit unfair but you can see why.

So my predictions for Super Sunday, Chelsea and Utd to win narrowly, with the game at Eastlands the most entertaining and high scoring, do you agree, or as usual do you think I am talking nonsense.

Botn Chelsea and Man U must be favourites but this season we get unpredictable results. Arsenal could pull off a big surprise.
