Jelang Liverpool vs Chelsea
Dilema 'Si Merah'
Mohammad Resha Pratama - detiksport

Manchester - Akankah Liverpool mengalah pada Chelsea atau menang demi menjaga asa finis di empat besar namun dengan konsekuensi Manchester United bisa melewati jumlah titel Liga Inggris mereka? Sebuah dilema bagi The Reds.

Tersingkirnya Liverpool dari Atletico Madrid di semifinal Europa League semalam menjadi klimaks musim yang buruk ini. Kemenangan 2- 1 tak cukup membawa Steven Gerrard dkk ke final karena Atletico unggul agregat gol tandang 2-2 setelah menang 1-0 di leg pertama.

Rafael Benitez pun memasuki musim keempatnya tanpa gelar di klub asal kota pelabuhan. Kini 'trofi' lain yang mungkin masih bisa dikejar adalah kesempatan lolos ke kompetisi Eropa musim depan.

Saat ini Liverpool duduk di posisi ke-7 dengan 62 poin dan punya dua laga tersisa. Di atas mereka ada Manchester City (63 poin), Aston Villa & Tottenham Hotspur (64 poin). Beda dengan Liverpool dan Villa, Spurs serta City masih mengantongi tiga laga.

Pilihan 'Si Merah' adalah bisa ke Liga Champions, Europa League atau bahkan tidak berpartisipasi di Eropa musim depan. Namun demi gengsi dan harga diri sebagai klub besar Inggris dan Eropa, Liga Champions tentunya jadi pilihan utama.

Untuk menggapainya, Chelsea akan jadi lawan pertama Liverpool di Anfield, Minggu (2/5/2010) malam WIB. Pada pertemuan pertama di Stamford Bridge medio Oktober lalu, 'Si Biru' menang 2-0.

Dengan semangat ingin finis di empat besar serta dukungan penuh dari Liverpudlian, tiga poin mungkin untuk direbut oleh Liverpool. Tapi bakal ada 'masalah' baru timbul jika mereka menang nantinya.

Chelsea tentunya butuh kemenangan pula demi tetap berada di garis terdepan perebutan mahkota juara dengan Manchester United. Selisih satu poin antara kedua klub itu masih memungkinkan Chelsea disalip oleh MU di dua laga akhir ini.

Apalagi weekend ini MU hanya bertandang ke Stadium Of Light untuk bertemu Sunderland. Jika MU menang dan Chelsea kalah, maka MU akan unggul dua poin di pekan ke-38. Dengan Stoke City yang jadi lawan di laga terakhir musim ini dan bermain di Old Trafford, 'Setan Merah' diprediksi akan melenggang ke singgasana juara.

Nah itu dia masalahnya, Liverpool yang punya jumlah trofi sama dengan MU yaitu 18 tentunya tak ingin raihannya itu terlewati oleh rival abadinya. Maka berkembanglah rumor Liverpool akan melepas partai kontra Chelsea walaupun Gerrard sudah membantah keras anggapan itu.

Tiket ke Liga Champions jadi alasan The Anfield Gank masih ngotot memburu kemenangan atas Chelsea. Sekaligus menjadi pembuktian Liverpool tetaplah tim yang punya nama besar dan sejarah hebat di persepakbolaan dunia.

Tapi pertanyaannya apakah Liverpool dan para fansnya benar-benar rela jika MU mendapat titel ke-19nya?

Jelang Sunderland vs MU
Rooney-Ferdinand Siap Dimainkan
Rossi Finza Noor - detiksport

Manchester - Manchester United mendapatkan kabar bagus jelang pertemuan dengan Sunderland akhir pekan ini. Dua andalan mereka, Wayne Rooney dan Rio Ferdinand, dikabarkan sudah fit dan siap untuk dimainkan.

Seperti dikabarkan oleh The Sun, kedua pemain tersebut sudah terlibat dalam sesi latihan The Red Devils untuk menghadapi laga akhir pekan ini. Masalah mereka bakal bermain atau tidak, masih harus ditunggu sampai saat-saat akhir jelang pertandingan.

Rooney belakangan kerap dibekap cedera. Setelah mengalami masalah dengan engkelnya kala menghadapi Bayern Munich di perempatfinal I Liga Champions, penyerang 24 tahun ini kembali masuk ruang perawatan delapan hari lalu. Kali ini ada masalah dengan pangkal pahanya.

Rooney sudah tak ikut bermain kala MU meraih kemenangan atas Tottenham Hotspur akhir pekan lalu. Diagnosis awal, ia baru bisa dimainkan kala 'Setan Merah' menghadapi Stoke City di pekan terahir Premier League.

Sementara Ferdinand, sudah tak memperkuat MU dalam dua laga terakhir; kala melawan Manchester City dan Spurs. Bek berumur 31 tahun ini juga mengalami masalah pada pangkal pahanya.

Tanpa kehadirannya, palang pintu pertahanan MU diserahkan kepada duet Nemanja Vidic dan Jonny Evans. Hasilnya tak jelek lantaran MU selalu menang dan hanya kebobolan satu gol.

Sunderland v Manchester United: match preview

Quote:

Tale of the game

United have to win, as simple as that, because by the time they go into this late Sunday game they could be four points adrift of Liverpool. But, if Chelsea have failed to win, the chance is there for United to go top with just two games to play.

United, who are unbeaten in 15 Premier League games, home and away, against Sunderland, dropped two points when they last played Sunderland, at Old Trafford in October, and they had to claw back from behind twice. Darren Bent gave Sunderland an early lead before Dimitar Berbatov equalised.

Kenwyne Jones responded quickly – but an own goal by Anton Ferdinand handed United a point after ex-United midfielder Kieran Richardson had been sent off.

Sunderland are on a good run, with three wins from their last four games. And they are unbeaten at home in their last nine League games, going back to December when Villa won 2-0 at the Stadium of Light.

United, meanwhile, boast the best away record in the division with 33 points, one more than Villa and two more than Chelsea. United have also kept four successive clean sheets in their last four away games in the Premier League.

Sunderland test midfielder Lee Cattermole and defender George McCarthy but John Mensah and Andy Reid are out. United are still without new English Footballer of the Year Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville, along with Michael Owen, Danny Wellbeck and Anderson. But Rio Ferdinand has an outside chance of returning.

Sunderland (4-4-2): Gordon; Bardsley, Turner, Kilgallon, Richardson; Campbell, Henderson, Meyler, Malbranque; Bent, Jones.
Manchester United (4-3-3): Van der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Evra; Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs; Valencia, Berbatov, Nani.
Referee: Steve Bennett. Matches: 26. R 5. Y 98.

This season: United 2 Sunderland 2.

Last season: United 1 Sunderland 0, Sunderland 1 United 2.

Stat of the game: United are unbeaten in 15 Premier League games, home and away, against Sunderland.

Sunderland (10th) v Manchester United (2nd)

Manchester United need a win to maintain their challenge for a fourth successive Barclays Premier League title.

Sunderland team news

Sunderland full-back Alan Hutton will miss out through suspension.

Hutton was sent off after clashing with Jozy Altidore during last weekend's 1-0 win at Hull City, but had his ban reduced from three matches to one on appeal.

Central defender Michael Turner, who was substituted at half-time against his former club with an arm injury, has returned to training and is in contention.

John Mensah (hamstring) and Lee Cattermole (calf) have also trained in recent days and could figure, but Andy Reid, who had surgery on a calf problem this week, and George McCartney (hamstring) are out.

Man Utd team news

Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand are set to return from groin strains in time to feature in Manchester United's must-win Premier League match with Sunderland.

Rooney sat out last weekend's victory over Tottenham Hotspur, while Ferdinand has missed two matches since he suffered his injury at Blackburn Rovers.

Sir Alex Ferguson has never lost to a team managed by United old boy Steve Bruce, although Sunderland have lost just twice at home in the league this season.

sunderland memang tidak memiliki kepentingan apapun dalam game ini,,, tapi justru hal itu yang membuat mereka bermain "nothing to lose".... mereka akan bermain terbuka dan tanpa beban, dan tentunya mereka tidak mau "dipermalukan" di depan pendukungnya sendiri,,, hal ini harus diwaspadai oleh Sir Alex.. gagal meraih 3 poin sama saja melepas titel ke 19 (apapun hasil pool vs blues)....

Jelang Sunderland vs MU
Menepikan Manisnya Masa Lalu
Narayana Mahendra Prastya - detiksport

Sunderland - Ketika masih bermain, Steve Bruce berutang budi kepada Sir Alex Ferguson. Kini ketika keduanya harus saling berhadapan sebagai lawan, Bruce siap menepikan masa lalunya.

Bruce pernah bermain di bawah asuhan Ferguson, tepatnya ketika ia memperkuat Manchester United pada tahun 1987-1996.

Tiga gelar Premier League, tiga Piala FA, serta Piala Liga, Piala Winners, dan Piala UEFA masing-masing satu adalah persembahan pria kelahiran 31 Desember 1960 ini kepada Old Trafford.

"Sepuluh tahun saya di Manchester United. Ferguson menjadikan saya kapten selama lima tahun. Selanjutnya saya masuk daftar 10 pemain terkaya di sana. Terima kasih banyak, Sir Alex," demikian kata Bruce seperti dikutip dari Daily Mail.

Akhir pekan ini Bruce akan kembali bertemu dengan mantan mentornya itu. Bukan sebagai kawan tapi lawan. Keduanya pun sudah tidak dalam posisi pemain-manajer, tapi sama-sama manajer.

Perjumpaan itu terjadi kala Sunderland menjamu Manchester United di Stadium of Light, Minggu (2/5/2010) malam WIB. Kemenangan Sunderland berarti menyulitkan langkah MU untuk meraih gelar liga musim ini.

Rekor pertemuan Bruce ---sejak menjadi manajer-- kontra Fergie buruk. Saat Bruce menangani Birmingham, Wigan, atau pun Sunderland, Bruce belum pernah mengalahkan Ferguson dalam 14 perjumpaan sejauh ini.

Akhir pekan nanti Bruce siap menorehkan kemenangan pertamanya atas Sir Alex dan menyulitkan upaya mantan klubnya itu meraih juara.

"Kami sangat yakin bisa menang karena kami ingin menang. Semua pembicaraan menjelang laga ini selalu berkisar tentang saya karena saya pernah bermain untuk MU selama sepuluh tahun," kata mantan bek tengah itu.

Bruce memberikan motivasi penuh kepada anak buahnya menjelang laga ini.

"Memang setiap kedatangan Manchester United kemari selalu spesial. Apalagi dengan dibumbui cerita perebutan gelar juara."

"Apa yang akan saya katakan kepada pemain? Apakah kita akan mendukung mereka? Mari kita tempatkan omong kosong tersebut di bawah tempat tidur masing-masing," ujar Bruce di situs resmi Sunderland.

"Kami akan berusaha melakukan yang terbaik. Dalam laga kandang di sepanjang tahun ini , kami belum terkalahkan," pungkasnya.

Kieran issues Man United warning
-sunderlandecho.com-

Kieran Richardson has warned Manchester United to expect no favours from the Red Devils they know at Sunderland.
The champions will be left needing to win at the Stadium of Light to stand a chance of retaining their crown if leaders Chelsea are victorious at Liverpool.

Sir Alex Ferguson will see a few familiar faces up against him tomorrow, with Black Cats boss Steve Bruce, Phil Bardsley, Fraizer Campbell and, of course, Richardson all plotting against their former employers.

And determined Richardson says he would lose no sleep if Sunderland pull off a result that helps end Manchester United's hopes of a 19th title.

"I don't mind who wins the title," he said. "Both Man U and Chelsea have been tremendous this season and whoever wins it, deserves it.
"All I know is it's going to be a great game tomorrow, as it always is when Manchester United come to town.

"They are going for the title and if Chelsea beat Liverpool tomorrow lunchtime and then we beat Man U, their season is over.

"So it could be a bad day for United!

"But the most important thing for us is to concentrate on Sunderland because we want to finish in the top half of the table.

"This is our last home game of the season and we want to go out on a high."

Sunderland have been aiming for a top half finish all along, but their chances looked remote thanks to a dire 14-match run without a win.

They've recovered to win three of their last four matches and are back in with a chance of staying in the top ten, which would earn the players an extra cash bonus.

He said: "The higher we finish in the league, the better bonus we get but the lads want to finish in the top ten for themselves and for the club, not because of any bonus."

Richardson joined Sunderland from United in July, 2007, and was followed by Bardsley in January the following year and Campbell last summer.

"It's a big game for everyone but the lads who have played at Manchester United will have a bit of extra incentive," he admitted.

"You saw the same with the lads who had been at Spurs when we played them a couple of weeks ago.

"If the likes of myself, Bardo and Fraizer play we will all be doing our best to win, as we always do – but of course there is an extra edge against your former club."

drivemein · 01-05-2010, 08:24 PM

Campbell will Fraiz the roof
-thesun.co.uk-

FRAIZER CAMPBELL will give up nights out in Manchester if he can shoot down Alex Ferguson's title dreams tomorrow.

The Sunderland hitman joined United as a 10-year-old and was desperate to make the grade until Fergie flogged him last summer.

He wanted to be an Old Trafford hero but knows he will become a villain in the eyes of the United faithful if Steve Bruce's Black Cats do the business on Wearside.

Campbell, 22, said: "My job now is as a Sunderland player and I will try the best I can. There is no way I am going to miss the target on purpose, but if I score it will be a weird sensation.

"It could stop them winning the title. That's what I call pressure.

"If we stop United getting the title I won't be going out in Manchester for a while. But my aim is to finish 10th.

"I was at United a long time and got used to calling myself a United player. But you have to be sensible about your own career and just think about the future. I could have sat around and been a bit-part player but I wanted to go make a name for myself.

"That was the key factor. I was 21 when I left United and felt I was too old to be sat on the bench. I enjoyed my time there though.

"If I do score the winning goal I will probably walk back to the half-way line and try to pretend it never happened.

"I don't think I will celebrate."

It was a wrench for Campbell to leave one of the biggest clubs in the world but the striker has found a good home at Sunderland.

Boss Bruce has given him a regular run in the side and he has responded with some fine displays.

Campbell said: "I think I have improved as I have had a lot more matches.

"Next season I want to carry on where I left off and keep playing in games."
