Head to Head - Who's going to win? 18/02/11

Head to Head - Who's going to win? 18/02/11

With the weekend's action fast approaching we take a look at some of the key fixtures coming up! We've picked out two key players from each match that could be the key for either side and of course, we take a quick look at what boots each player will be stepping out onto the pitch in...

It's the 2010/11 FA Cup fairytale. Non-league side Crawley Town, known as the 'Manchester City' of non-league football, will travel to Old Trafford in the fifth round of the FA Cup dreaming of causing the biggest upset of the tournament against a team 93 league places above them.

Image

Image
Hernandez: Uniteds Mexican striker Hernandez is expected to feature in the starting 11 with big names being rested for their mid-week Champions League game. The Nike Legend wearer has made most of his appearances as a substitute this season and has racked up an impressive tally of 11 goals.
Image
Torres: Crawley Town's record signing Sergio Torres will be their main threat to United's goal. The Argentine, who wears Nike Laser boots, netted the late winner in Crawleys 2-1 victory over Derby County.

FA Cup finalists back in 2009, both Chelsea and Everton will be looking to take another step closer to Wembley on Saturday when they meet in an FA Cup fourth round replay. Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti will be hoping to win a hat-trick of FA Cup trophies, having won the tournament two years running. To do so, they must face a struggling Everton side who were disappointed to have been held 1-1 by Chelsea at Goodison Park.

Image

Image
Luiz: Chelsea's new £20m defender David Luiz will be handed his first full home debut with the Brazilian not being eligible for Chelsea's Champions League match in midweek. The Nike Legend wearer has impressed so far and will be looking to put in another solid performance.
Image
Cahill: With in-form striker Louis Saha out injured, all attention and expectation will be turned to adidas Predator wearer, Tim Cahill. The Australian always seems to step up when Everton need him to but could face a tougher challenge with Chelsea's new Brazilian at the back.
 

Image

Here's an impressive stat for you. In 25 FA Cup ties against lower division opposition, Arsene Wenger has never lost. Arsenal wil be full of confidence going into this game on the back of a memorable victory against Barcelona. Players will be rested but the speedy Nike Superfly wearer Theo Walcott, is expected to start.

Image

Image
Revell: Alex Revell has 14 goals in 33 appearance for the Orient and is the clubs top scorer. He'll need to have his shooting boots on if he is to add to his tally on Sunday.
Image
Walcott: Theo Walcott will be looking to build on his impressive Champions League performance. It is likely that Walcott's pace will be too much for the League 1 side who head into the tie in fine form.
 

Image

It is not every day that Barcelona suffer two bad results in the space of a week. If there was a perfect time for Joaquin Caparros to attack the Blaugrana and make use of their recent misfortunes, it is now. The champions will be on dangerous grounds if they were to drop anymore league points.

Image

Image
Messi: The world s best player surely must step up to the occasion as his team try to forget what has been a difficult week. On occasions like this the Catalans need Messi, and the Argentine rarely fails to deliver.
Image
Llorente: If there is a man who is able to hurt the Catalans at this point, it's Llorente. The towering forwards talents haven't gone un-noticed with the Catalans, as well as Real Madrid and Liverpool all being linked to the striker. Llorente could be a match-winner at the Nou Camp.
 

Image

Jose Mourinho will mark nine years without a home league defeat as a coach if his Real Madrid side can beat Levante. The signs are looking good for Mourinho to continue that run tomorrow as well, with Madrid having won their last 21 successive matches in front of their own fans.

Image

Image
Ozil: The German has really flourished this season under Jose Mouniho. The Nike Superfly wearer scored when these last two sides met. Madrid demolished Levante 8-0 in the Copa del Rey and will be looking to put the pressure on Barcelona who play a day later.
Image
Lopes: Nike CTR wearer Valdo Lopes will be looking to help his Levante side continue to climb the La Liga table. Levante have won their last three games and will travel to the Spanish capital with confidence.
 

Whether you're a fan of one of the clubs, players or football boots featured, when it comes to football everyone's got an opinion and we'd love to hear YOURS...
