Game 1 - Week 19

Louis Browne is closing in on an impressive double in game 1, his Arsenal side lead the Premier League by three points and his PSG side are six points clear in Serie A with just three games left.

Week 18 saw an emphatic victory for the French side in the Serie A battle.  The two teams that have been battling it out all season, PSG and Dave Burton's FC Tucscon, met in Paris.  Two high quality sides, but one emphatic winner as two goals from Silva and one each from Totti and Messi saw PSG win 4-1.  That saw them move eight points clear, only for that lead to be once again cut back to six this turn.  Two more goals from Messi, but PSG were held 2-2 at John Ferrier's Sporting Lisbon, whilst Tuscon bounced back brilliantly from last weeks reverse with a 4-1 win over Louis King's Lazio, Wayne Rooney with a stunning hat-trick.  Juventus and Sporting Lisbon are tied for third, nine behind the leaders so essentially out of the title race now, Juve though still in with a chance of second place after their 1-0 home win over Dortmund this week.

Louis Browne's Arsenal have a three point lead at the top of the Prem, wins for the top three this week - Arsenal with a narrow 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.  Louis King's Southampton are second after a 3-0 win at Derby who had O'Connor sent off early on.  Saints are three points behind the leaders, with Man U one point further back after beating Millwall 3-1 this week.  Week 18 saw the Old Trafford side drop points though, a 0-0 home draw with Liverpool, and that could be the result that costs them the title this year.
