BB Round-up – Liverpool eye Zenit swoop, Arsenal move wanted, Spurs offer to redevelop Crystal Palace

It promises to be an action packed, yet cold, weekend in the Barclays Premier League. The game of the weekend will be at Stamford Bridge as last season’s top two come head to head in a battle that could see Manchester United extend their lead over the Champions to six points, with also a game in hand. Chelsea cannot afford to lose and with Frank Lampard back in the frame, Ancelotti is hopeful that the Blues talisman can drive them to their first win in seven games.

In the papers this morning there has been a mixed bag of stories that includes Wenger calling upon fans to show respect for Shawcross; Tottenham offer to redevelop Crystal Palace, while FIFA warms to the idea of a winter World Cup.
