Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has said that Chelsea are the favourites to lift the FA Cup this season.

Chelsea and Liverpool will be competing in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Liverpool rested a number of players for the match against Fulham with one eye on the FA Cup final. Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez were the big names who missed the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham.

Following the defeat, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said that Chelsea will certainly come into the match knowing that they are the favourites to win the FA Cup.

Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has praised AC Milan by saying that they are very dangerous team ahead of the crucial quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Barcelona have been drawn against the Italian champions in the quarter-final stage of the competition, while they also have the possibility of facing Chelsea in the semifinals once again should they get past AC Milan.

Manchester City have spent a fortune in this summer in the hope of assembling a squad which can not only finish in the top four but can challenge for title as well. But can they do it?

As the rest of European football tightens its belts in line with the global economic climate, the expenditure at Eastlands keeps on rolling. Over £80m has already been lavished on Yaya Toure, David Silva, Jerome Boateng and Aleksandar Kolarov and further additions look set to follow with £25m-rated midfielder James Milner and Italian striker Mario Balotelli strongly linked.
