Hello,This is the first match of the 2006-2007 Premiership season.This is exciting as after 3 months of waiting since May(excluding World Cup).Arsenal and Liverpool were under-performed as they only managed to get a point this week.

Below are the statistics of the first match of the Premiership

20	Fulham	1	0	0	1	1	5	-4	0

Fulham were thrashed 5-1 by Man.Utd which is completely impressive with 4 goals in first 18 minutes.Chelsea had also an impressive win over Manchester City 3-0 and Portsmouth are equally beat Blackburn Rovers 3-0.I am concerned about Manchester City because they have to face another giants Arsenal next week.Arsenal,which drew with Aston Villa need to get 3 points to put pressure to their competitiors especially M.United,Chelsea and Liverpool. Tottenham,which nearly play in the U.Champions League last season beaten 2-0 by Big Sam and the gang(Bolton Wanderers) and the new promoted teams like Reading and Sheffield Utd were performed impressively with win over Middlesbrough and Sheffield Utd had a draw with another football giants,Liverpool.

There is no charity match between Liverpool and Chelsea.Every game between them are taken seriously by the people all over the world and the clubs themselves.After losing 2-1 to Liverpool in FA Cup's semi-final stage,Chelsea clearly want to revenge their lost to Liverpool in this match.With a lot of galaticos in their side,Chelsea were the favorite for the win.

Whereas Liverpool is surrounded with some minor disaster where they lost 5-0 to a American Club(I don't know why the American club is seems very good nowadays) and unconvincing win to Israel's club 2-1.

There was bound to be a snarl to the game, even if this occasion is prone to being a well-bred affair. Liverpool, after all, are the one club who always get under Jose Mourinho's skin. The Chelsea manager had limbered up for the season, though, with an uncharacteristic ploy as he depicted his club as disadvantaged.
His reckoning was that Liverpool, needing to get into shape for the Champions League qualifier with Maccabi Haifa, were in better condition than his own squad, who returned to training later. If the new rivalry was to see who could seize the role of underdog then Rafael Benítez was ready with his reply.

Stalwarts such as Sami Hyypia, Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, plus the new signing Craig Bellamy, were named among the substitutes. The first half came close to illustrating that the rapport in Liverpool's line-up can be worth more than individual merit. Chelsea might argue that they rebutted that theory since it was the unique quality of Andriy Shevchenko that allowed them to equalise.

Considering that the Ukrainian cost £30m it is understandable that there is no one on Liverpool's books who bears any resemblance to him, yet still the Anfield team discovered within their ranks the means to win. As Benítez's men have previously proved in the Champions League and FA Cup, there is no fluke in their capacity to unsettle Chelsea.

The winner came 10 minutes from time when the substitute Bellamy crossed from the left and Peter Crouch took advantage of slipshod marking to head past Carlo Cudicini. Despite the welter of players introduced after the interval to share the workload, Chelsea lacked a little focus and the impressive contribution of Michael Essien was not sufficient to halt Liverpool.

Mourinho will have departed reflecting that, for all his fabled resources, it will be important to get Petr Cech and Joe Cole back from surgery and injury. He might conceivably make a mental note to seek conciliation with the disaffected William Gallas. In addition, Claude Makelele's rest must be well and truly over now.

Even if this game had meandered on to a penalty shoot-out, the Merseyside supporters would have been heartened. The Community Shield held a significance for them that was not reciprocated by the other set of fans. There were great swaths of empty seats in Chelsea's end. Perhaps the absentees have too much confidence about a season that begins in earnest next weekend to have any concern over a quaint yet unimportant trophy.

All matches with Chelsea, on the other hand, are critical to Liverpool. So enraptured were their followers at Crouch's goal that a few ran on to the field before being wrestled to the ground by stewards. Incidents arising at a Community Shield game cannot be treated as definitive, yet the events in Cardiff, couple with victory in the 2006 FA Cup final at this ground, do tend to suggest that improvement is inexorable under Benítez.

Before the interval, they revelled in their own play and had it not been for the lack of a specialist finisher could have made Chelsea's position irretrievable. Momo Sissoko was utterly dominant in that phase and was the outstanding player in the match overall. The midfielder was critical in imposing an authority that upset Chelsea.

The Premiership champions are not used to such treatment and Frank Lampard's booking for a kick at Bolo Zenden showed how rattled they were by Liverpool's aggression. Mourinho, in fairness, did have a point when he contended that Chelsea are not in peak physical condition, but Benítez's group are still likely to be formidable even when rivals are perfectly honed.

The opener, none the less, was a surprise. Shevchenko had almost burst through after running at Jamie Carragher and Steve Finnan, before being checked by John Arne Riise. From the resultant corner, in the ninth minute, however, the Norwegian broke down the right and came inside to let fly from 25 yards. A firm shot reached the net, even though Cudicini ought to have parried it.

Liverpool could not quite polish off Chelsea at that stage. Luis García turned delightfully after 42 minutes to find Mark González but, homing in with Crouch on the return ball, failed to connect properly and Cudicini tipped the attempt over the bar. With Shevchenko around, though, there ought to be double anguish over any missed opportunity to hurt Chelsea.

The striker was always dangerous in the first half and Lampard picked him out in the 43rd minute as he slipped into the gap between Carragher and Finnan. Shevchenko controlled with his chest, raced through and slipped the ball past Jose Reina as if there was no fuss about converting such a chance.

That expertise is no shock, but it is gladdening for Mourinho to see that nothing has been lost in the forward's exchange of Milan colours for Chelsea's. Having observed Michael Ballack go off with a hip knock, the Stamford Bridge manager will appreciate that encouraging sight. Liverpool ensured that there was nothing else for Mourinho to savour.

Man of the match - Peter Crouch - At 21 he is becoming more measured and using the ball better, even if his power remains crucial.
Best moment The tough yet fair tackle on Germany's World Cup captain Michael Ballack that rattled Chelsea early in the first half.


Personally I think that Jose mourinho has to think first before talking some people are useless and no match for him.

EPL is going to start at 19 August.Who you think will be the champion this season; Chelsea,Arsenal,Manchester United,Liverpool or your favorite team?Chelsea,backed by Russian billionaire had signing many famous players like Ballack and Shevchenko and is expected to be champions again.Arsenal,had signing Tomas Rosicky and also will be better next season.
MU however has only signing Carrick from Tottenham which is an EPL player already but he is also a very good player and Mu is expected to sign more player into the club.Liverpool also had signing many players(I don't know who is them,so post their name to me) and also will be a better club.

The Premiership champions and the FA Cup winners will be hoping to strike an early psychological blow as their intense rivalry shapes up for another year.

The two rivals met on five occasions last season with Liverpool winning the last meeting with a memorable 2-1 victory in their FA Cup semi-final clash.

Chelsea are the current holders of the Community Shield having beaten Arsenal in last season's fixture.

John Terry and Steven Gerrard will lock horns again after the Chelsea star beat the Liverpool ace to the England captaincy earlier this week.

Premiership champions Chelsea are set to be without Joe Cole for the trip to Wales as he struggles with a knee injury.

Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech is still recovering from surgery meaning Carlo Cudicini will start in goal.However new signings like Andrei Shevchenko and Michael Ballack are both expected to make their competitive debuts for Chelsea.

William Gallas will not be included after he missed the club's pre-season trip to America.

Liverpool duo Robbie Fowler and Fabio Aurelio are again set to miss out

Both players missed Wednesday's UEFA Champions League win over Maccabi Haifa through injury and Rafa Benitez will not risk the pair.

Harry Kewell and Daniel Agger are both still missing through injury.

Peter Crouch is pushing for a start after only being named a substitute in midweek and Mark Gonzalez could make the starting line-up after his goal against Maccabi.

My prediction :Liverpool to win 1-0 and Peter Crouch to score.
