Bernie’s Sports Focus - 2nd November 2012

Valletta take on Balzan tonight aiming to extend their lead in the premiership. Last week the defending league champions were held to a surprise draw by Rabat, they will not want to drop more points tonight. Also this evening Melita play Mosta.

Rabat will be looking for another good performance tomorrow against Tarxien Rainbows while Hibernian’s, desperate to get their season back on track face their bogey team Floriana.

The big game in England is the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. Sir Alex Ferguson knows a win would put his side top, even for just a short period while a win for the Gunners would pout the level with Utd. Manchester City have the chance to widen the gap at the top if they can see off West Ham. Chelsea have a testing journey to Swansea, Spurs are home to Wigan and Everton travel the capital to take on Fulham.

The top two in Serie A go head to head tomorrow. Leaders Juventus battle with Inter knowing a win would lift them eight points clear of their rivals. AC Milan need points against Chievo while Napoli are home to Torino and Lazio visit Catania. Fiorentina are up a place to fifth after last night’s 1-0 win at Genoa.

La Liga leaders Barcelona must take advantage of their home game against Celta Vigo tomorrow with second placed Atletico Madrid away to Vallencia.

In Germany leaders Bayern Munich take on fast rising Hamburg. Second placed Schalke are away to Hoffenheim and Frankfurt can overtake Schalke if they beat Greutheur Furth tonight
