Sehwag will look to silence Dale Steyn
South Africa pacer Dale Steyn has said they have plans to keep Virender Sehwag quiet in the Test series. But Sehwag is not a easy batsman to bowl to, especially on Indian wickets and the visitors will surely have their work cut out. With Steyn throwing an open challenge ahead of the first Test, Sehwag will be keyed up to respond.

GayLe force can blow Australia away
Australia are always tough to beat at home and have been in terrific form in the one-dayers as they showed in the 5-0 rout of Pakistan last month. But, they are up against a West Indies side that is capable of dominating any game or opposition thanks to their brute power in batting. leading the way is skipper Chris Gayle, who has already smashed an 89-ball 146 in their warm-up game against the Australian Prime Minister's XI.

Will Drogba end Arsenal's hopes?
Chelsea are at the top of the English Premier League with a two-point lead over Manchester United and a six-point advantage over Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.
A loss for Arsenal in this away tie at Stamford Bridge would be a crucial blow to their chances of winning the title this season.
On the other hand, a win for the visitors would lead to a three-way race for the title and could make things very interesting. With Chelsea skipper John Terry embroiled in a sex-scandal, things are not rosy in the camp and Arsenal would be looking to make full use of the situation though manager Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that the controversy has not had any detrimental effect on either Terry or the team.
What will also give Arsenal the belief of beating Chelsea is that they had managed to do so last season.
Chelsea, on the other hand, will be buoyed by the fact that they have at their disposal ace striker Didier Drogba (left), who was unavailable last month, away on national duties for Ivory Coast at the African Nations Cup.

Man U looking to put pressure on Chelsea
STRUGGLING Hull City did Manchester United a big favour by holding Chelsea to a 1-1 draw last week.
The defending champions will now be looking to make the most of that by getting three full points in today's home encounter against relegation-threatened Portsmouth, which has seen the ownership of the club change hands four times this season. With Wayne Rooney in good form and Nani putting on a good show in their 3-1 win over Arsenal last Sunday, manager Alex Ferguson will be confident his team can do the job in this home fixture at Old Trafford.
