Benitez focused on the game
Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez will attempt to put sentiment to one side when he returns to Anfield to take on Liverpool.

Benitez was in charge at Liverpool from 2004 to 2010 and is loved on Merseyside after leading the club to an incredible 2005 UEFA Champions League triumph.
The Spaniard still lives in the area and spoke about the respect he has for the club, but added that he wants to win the fixture that could be crucial in Chelsea's hopes of finishing second in the table. 
"I have a lot of respect, but I have to concentrate on my team," Benitez said. 
"I don't want any misunderstanding, so I will concentrate just on Chelsea and the game and try to enjoy it, especially if we can win.

Ferguson admits games getting tougher
Sir Alex Ferguson admits the closer Manchester United get to winning their 20th English league title the harder the games are getting.
United host Aston Villa on Monday, a team they have lost to only once since 1995. 

But a derby defeat to rivals Manchester City and a bruising 2-2 draw at West Ham United in recent weeks suggests the final push towards the title is proving no easy task. 

"We maybe could have won it in the last 20 minutes (against West Ham), when we had all the play and one or two chances," Ferguson said.

"But nonetheless we have to be satisfied coming back from being down twice to getting a point.

Premier League: Tottenham - Manchester City

premier leagueTottenham's European ambitions face a stern test on Sunday when they welcome Manchester City to White Hart Lane.

Andre Villas-Boas' side are in fifth place in the Premier League, two points behind Arsenal but with a game in hand on the Gunners.

They need to finish fourth to secure a spot in the Champions League qualifiers, and if they can manage to overhaul third-placed Chelsea by the end of the campaign, they will gain automatic entry to the competition.

Since their 2-1 win over Arsenal on March 3, Tottenham have suffered a worrying form slump, recording only one win from their past four league games and exiting the Europa League at the hands of Basel, with a 2-2 draw against the Swiss club their most recent outing.

That slump has been compounded by the loss of talismanic winger Ga ... Read more »

But with fixtures to come against Liverpool, Manchester United, Spurs and Everton, Rafa Benitez's side face an anxious run home before their European fate is finally decided.

The Blues made a welcome return to form on Wednesday with a 3-0 triumph over Fulham at Craven Cottage, with David Luiz's thunderbolt from distance to open the scoring a highlight.

That ended a run of two defeats on the trot for Chelsea, who lost the second leg o ... Read more »

PSG crash out of cup
Paris Saint-Germain missed out on a place in the last four of the Coupe de France after Evian had taken the Ligue 1 giants to penalties.
Javier Pastore had put the Parisian side 1-0 up after 10 minutes before Saber Khlifa levelled the scores for the hosts on the stroke of half-time.

The scores remained level throughout the second half and after extra-time, before Cedric Barbosa's penalty confirmed Evian's place in the next round.

The hosts started strongly and could have taken the lead after five minutes as Khlifa and Milos Ninkovic linked up superbly, only for the latter to drag his effort wide of the PSG goal.

Evian were made to pay for the miss moments la ... Read more »

Manchester City 1:0 Wigan
Carlos Tevez's late strike gave Manchester City a crucial 1-0 victory over Wigan to keep their hopes of retaining the Premier League title alive.
The home side were frustrated by a well-organised Wigan side, who created plenty of chances of their own, notably through the impressive attacking triumvirate of Shaun Maloney, Franco Di Santo and Arouna Kone.

City, who lost Sergio Aguero to injury at half-time, stepped it up after the break but could not find an elusive opening goal, with Aguero's replacement Edin Dzeko missing a great chance before Tevez's moment of magic secured a gutsy win.

Wigan started brightly but it was the hosts who mustered the first real opening, with Aleksandar Kolarov flashing a free-kick just inches wi ... Read more »
