Manchester United had a quick break last weekend as their game at Chelsea was postponed but they will be back in action on Sunday when Sunderland will visit Old Trafford. The Black Cats beat Bolton 1-0 last weekend to climb into fifth place while Manchester United are top of the table. However, Sunderland have recorded a few surprising results this season, most of you surely remember their 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Yes, anyone who can score a goal like he did today deserves to be playing at a World Cup!
No, he cost a lot of money and hasn't proven as of yet why he did indeed cost so much!
Adam Johnson scored a great goal today in Manchester City's 1-1 away draw to Steve Bruce's Sunderland, highlighting that he could be an asset for the World Cup in South Africa. What do you think, any chance of him getting a ticket to South Africa?
Robbie Keane, who is currently on loan at Celtic, has been linked with a possible summer move to Sunderland. The Republic of Ireland striker left Tottenham in January to spend the rest of the season at Celtic but it now appears as though Steve Bruce wants to bring him to the Stadium of Light this summer. Will it happen? Vote now!
The two rivals will meet on Sunday at the Stadium of Light and Sunderland will surely be keen on avenging the 5-1 defeat that they recorded at St. James' Park earlier in the season. Newcastle won their last league game quite convincingly, 5-0 against west Ham, while Sunderland grabbed a narrow 1-0 win at Aston Villa. Sunderland are in 6th place before the game while Newcastle are 8th, five points behind their arch rivals but with a game in hand.
Adam Johnson was only playing Championship football a few months ago but is now with Manchester City playing at the highest level in English football. Could he possibly make the England squad and fill the vacuum left by David Beckham?
Chelsea took a huge step towards the Premier League title after a 2-0 win at Anfield. Manchester United's win at Sunderland ensured the title race goes to the final weekend, but Carlo Ancelotti's men will be crowned champions if they win at home to Wigan on Sunday.
He's worth every penny, that's a coup for Aston Villa!
He won't live up to that price tag.
Sunderland striker Darren Bent has handed in a transfer request after Aston Villa made an £18million move for the England international.Bent has been a regular scorer for the Black Cats since joining from Tottenham 18 months ago, he has scored 36 goals in 63 appearances during his time on Wearside following his £10million switch from Tottenham.
A lot of people will argue that Darren Bent deserves to be in the England squad jetting off to the World Cup in South Africa in June and they may have a point. He's scored half of Sunderland's goals this season and is one of the top scorers in the league at lowly Sunderland. Should Capello call him up?
Portugal international Nani ensured the race for the Premier League title will go on. Manchester will now head into next Sunday's showdown with Stoke at Old Trafford knowing that effectively only a win can give them a 19th league title, and even that will not be enough if the Blues beat Wigan at home.
Aston Villa confirmed the signing of Sunderland 26-year old striker Darren Bent for an initial 18 million pounds and additional costs that could rise up to another 6 million pounds. Aston Villa have another 16 Premier League games to play, how many goals will Bent bag before the end of the season?
