Another big game will be played in the English Premier League this weekend. The North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will be played at the Emirates stadium at lunch time. Andreas Villas Boas will be looking forward to having a rejuvenated Spurs side after they lost their last two games against Swansea and Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger's men will also try and get back to winning ways after getting just a point in their last two EPL games. Arsenal were held by Fulham in a 3-3 draw last weekend while Tottenham succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad stadium.
The two sides are separated by just a point, with AVB's men sitting on the sixth position while the 'Gunners' a place below their rivals.
Arsenal doesn't have fresh injury worries while Tottenham will definitely unleash Emmanuel Adebayor to do the damage against his former side. Meanwhile, the two clubs have problems with their back four.
Our prediction: Arsenal 2-2 TottenhamCopyright 2012 Chat Soccer

Spurs disappoints Muamba at Reebok Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Bolton Wanderers 4-1 at the Reebok Stadium for the first time since 1996. Luka Modric chested down a corner that was taken by Rafael Van Der Vaart and fired a volley into the back of the net after 37 minutes of play. Willem Gallas' handball in the penalty box was over looked by the referee as he tried to prevent David N'Gog from creating a problem for his team.
After the restart Kevin Davies was able to find David N'Gog in the penalty box and the former Liverpool man back-heeled a pass to Nigel Reo Coker who blast the ball past Brad Friedel in the 50th minute. Bolton were on the ascendancy when Gareth Bale turned his team defence into a counter attack by setting up Van Der Vaart for his side's second goal of the night. Croatian International, Luka Modric did a nice job in the middle of the pack by finding Aaran Lennon on the right flank. The Englishman delivered a low drive that was easily tapped in by Emmanuel Adebayor in the 62nd minute. Bale and Van Der Vaart made some one-two moves in the midfield to set up Adebayor for his second goal of the night. The Togolese striker rounded Bolton's second choice goal keeper before slotting home the fourth goal of the day. Tottenham's next match is against Aston Villa next weekend.

English FA Cup preview.
Liverpool will clash with their local rivals,Everton in the first semi final match of this season's FA Cup that will be played at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday. The Reds have already won the first silverware of the English season by beating Cardiff City in the final of the Carling Cup in February. Liverpool have only won three League games in 2012, but they've been a terrific form in Cup competitions and by the time the Dalglish led team file out against their Merseyside rivals, they will try and repeat their League success. The Reds will be without their first two goal keepers who are unavailable due to suspension. Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez will be expected to form a good partnership.
On the other hand, Everton have warmed up for this game with a 4-0 victory over Sunderland in the Premier League. Victor Anichebe is the club's top scorer with 6 goals to his name. The Nigerian might be used as a substitute, while Saha and Jelavic will lead the Everton attack. Everton have been beaten twice in the League by Liverpool. The last meeing between these two sides ended 3-0 at Anfield.
Our prediction: Liverool 1-3 Everton
Spurs V Chelsea
Tottenham and Chelsea will rekindle their London rivalry when they meet on Sunday afternoon. Chelsea's request to play on Saturday has been turned down by the English FA that granted Liverpool's request not to play on April 15th due to the Hillsbrough disaster remembrance day. Chelsea will meet Barcelona two days later and Roberto di Matteo will have to prioritize between the Champions League fixture and the FA Cup title.
The last clash between these two London clubs ended in a goalless draw at the Stamford Bridge and Gareth Bale has echoed their scintillating performance in that game. The Welsh man went ahead to boast that his team was better than the Blues. Chelsea can't afford to lose this game because of their current League position. If Everton should win the FA Cup and Chelsea can't finish above their present 6th position, then they won't even compete in the Europa League next season. Liverpool have erased the 7th spot by winning the Carling Cup and Everton can make the 6th position irrelevant if they can play the final against Tottenham.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
