Manchester United – When Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney Assist
Somehow, it became 3-0. Manchester United didn’t play too well, but were spot on with their set pieces. One from Robin van Persie, finding Jonny Evans with a rare goal and one from Wayne Rooney, finding Patrice Evra for a rare goal. No need for midfield dominance or some fantastic attacking. Just being clinical upfront and efficient down back. The way Ferguson likes it.

Liverpool FC – Luis Suarez Need to Concentrate on Scoring, not Diving
A 0-0 draw at home isn’t a surprise at Anfield.

Chelsea FC – Eden Hazard & Juan Mata Playing Well Together
For once, there was nothing to complain about for Chelsea fans. In their own little bubble, Ashley Cole and John Terry are saints.

Arsenal FC – The Santi Cazorla Team
Beyond the fact that Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud scored in this match, this was a perfect rebound for Arsenal and more than that, further proof of just how in control Santi Cazorla is, and just how important he is to the Gunners, proving it once again in the 3-1 win over West Ham.

Messi vs Ronaldo – The Battle for Best Player in the World
The foundations were laid last season in the win at the Camp Nou. Cristiano Ronaldo is usually referred to as the second best player in the world, even when he outshines Lionel Messi in a title deciding Clasico match. However, if Real Madrid beat Barcelona this time, that may change.
