As well as Arsenal Vs the Spuds, there are another 6 games on Saturday in the English Premier League.
Possibly the most important game will be at St Andrew's. Birmingham Host Chelsea in a game that could highlight the pressure Chelsea are under at the moment. Another defeat after losing 3-0 to Sunderland last Sunday would be damaging to the Blues' chances of retaining their title.
With no Essien, Terry, Lampard, Drogba or Alex, Chelsea looked almost ordinary, and vulnerable to conceding goals, which is something you never associate with Ancelotti's team. They will be hoping Malouda & Anelka can come up with the goods and show that last week was a one off.
Birmingham haven't won since a 3-1 victory over Blackpool in late October, and are still without the influential forward James McFadden, but with Chelsea's problems in defence, they will be confident of causing an upset.
