EPL Preview for the Weekend

This weekend, one HUGE game is being played in the EPL that has title implications.  Chelsea takes on Liverpool at Anfield and the winner could jump to the top of the EPL (barring Man United slips against Everton).  This match should be a tough battle for both teams but Liverpool cannot settle for anything more than a win to stop this massive slide theyve been going on as of late.  Liverpool have drawn three times in their last three games and slipped from League Leaders to third place, but Liverpool did beat Chelsea at the Bridge to snap their 86-game league unbeaten streak.  

The current league leaders, Manchester United take on the Toffees from Everton at Old Trafford three days earlier than originally scheduled because Everton has to replay its fourth round FA Cup tie on the 4th.  United bring in a record 11 game clean sheet and look to protect this record this Saturday at home, but in their last meeting with Everton they took an early lead before conceding a second half goal to settle for a draw.  If United win they will take a 5 point lead over Chelsea and Liverpool into Sunday's massive match and force both clubs to get a positive result to stay in the title hunt.
