Silva suspended for yellow cards accumulation

Spanish playmaker, David Silva, is suspended for picking up five yellow cards, and will miss Manchester City's trip to Swansea.

Samir Nasri and Jesus Navas will likely take up the creative burden in Silva's absence. Manuel Pellegrini may also take the opportunity to partner Edin Dzeko and Alvaro Negredo in attack.

Mourinho confirms that Torres will miss time

Jose Mourinho confirmed the initial report that Fernando Torres will miss a couple of weeks with his groin injury.

Mourinho also added that the next couple of games will be a choice between Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba. With the way Eto'o has been playing, I would expect him to start Chelsea's next game, with Ba possibly coming off the bench again. Chelsea forwards have been rotated a lot this season and all make for a fairly poor fantasy choice. Midfielder Eden Hazard, who is classified as a forward in the Yahoo game, is the only one guaranteed to start and produce fantasy value.

Wigan upends Manchester City in FA Cup

Manchester City's potential quadruple went from unlikely to impossible on Sunday with Wigan getting the better of them in the FA Cup for the second year in a row.

Last year's Wigan upset of Manchester City was on neutral ground with European football beckoning for the soon-to-be-relegated club. This season, Wigan upped the ante with a win at the Etihad to knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup at the quarter final stage. James Perch beat Gael Clichy to a ball Clichy should have cleared and scored it early in the second half to give Wigan a 2-0 lead. The underdogs then clung on through a Samir Nasri goal and furious late pressure from City. The big win earns Wigan a semi-final date with Arsenal at Wembley. If only Wigan could play like this against everyone else maybe someone would show up at their matches.

Fernando Torres expected to miss a few weeks

Fernando Torres hurt his groin during warm-ups and was pulled out of Chelsea's match against Tottenham on Saturday.

Torres is expected to miss a couple of weeks with his groin and Samuel Eto'o is his most likely replacement. Eto'o replaced him against Tottenham and played well. Demba Ba came off the bench and scored two goals but Eto'o is the clear favorite to start next week. Torres has struggled with injuries all season long and that has prevented him from getting in any type of rhythm.

Mauricio Pochettino worried about home form

Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino is worried about the Saints' home form in the midst of a great away run.

Southampton have won six away matches in the Premier League, a club record. Despite the great form away from St Mary's, the Saints have struggled at home and Pochettino is worried. Southampton have only registered one home win since beating Hull in early November and Pochettino sees that an area in need of improvement. The Saints face an extremely poor away side in Norwich at St Mary's next Saturday and will look to improve their home form.

Phil Jones returns with a match winner

Manchester United's attack and defense got a boost in Week 29 with the return of Phil Jones who scored and played a part in a clean sheet in the Red Devils' 3-0 win.

Manchester United have struggled at the back in recent matches but the return of Phil Jones offers hope as the team rolled to an easy 3-0 win over hapless West Brom. Jones' return allowed David Moyes to rest Nemanja Vidic and leave Rio Ferdinand out of the squad entirely and the difference was evident. It will be interesting to see if they can keep the momentum going with Liverpool their next opponent.

Jonny Evans suffers setback in his recovery

Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has suffered a setback in his recovery and will be out a further month as Manchester United attempt to climb back in the race for fourth.

With the return of Phil Jones in Week 29 Manchester United's defense is in better shape but they learned today that they won't be back at full strength for another month with presumed starter Jonny Evans out for another month. It would appear that Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Nemanja Vidic will rotate through the center back spots. It will be educational to see who partners Jones against Liverpool next weekend or whether Moyes will field a conservative line-up with all three (with Jones in a holding role) to attempt to slow down Liverpool's attack.

Ozil returns to form in Arsenal FA Cup win

Mesut Ozil scored on Arsenal's first and assisted on their fourth in the Gunners' big win over Everton that saw them through to the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Mesut Ozil has been struggling for a while now but he reminded everyone why his arrival was so heralded in August. He provided the linkage between Arsenal's midfield and the attack. Whether Yaya Sanogo is the player to take advantage is a solid question but Arsenal managed two goals with the young forward on the field and then scored two more in quick succession to seal the match once Giroud was substituted in. The outcomes of Manchester City vs. Wigan , Hull City vs. Sunderland, and Sheffield United vs. Charlton tomorrow will determine the other three semi-finalists.

Chelsea destroy Spurs after questionable call

Chelsea destroyed Tottenham in a 4-0 game that saw a series of questionable calls from referee Michael Oliver.

Samuel Eto'o scored the first goal and won the penalty for the second after he was brought down by Younes Kaboul. Kaboul was sent off in what was a harsh decision by the referee that ended up deciding the match. Eden Hazard converted the penalty and Chelsea proceeded to take advantage of being one man up by making it 4-0 with two Demba Ba goals. Chelsea are now seven points clear at the top of the table but many of the teams chasing them have played less games.

Jay Rodriguez's goal enough for Southampton

Jay Rodriguez scored the game winning goal for Southampton in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

An overall quiet game finished with only one goal as Saints take home the three points. The clean sheet is a nice addition for fantasy managers who invested in Southampton's defense or goalkeeper. The Saints look solid in the back once again and can be relied on for fairly consistent clean sheets. Adam Lallana played fairly well but finished with only 2 fantasy points, disappointing fantasy managers.

Johnson goal can't see Norwich to a win

Bradley Johnson scored a 56th minute goal to put Norwich City up 1-0 over visiting Stoke but a penalty from Jon Walters saw the match end in a draw.

Norwich will have hoped that Johnson's goal combined with a tepid Stoke attack would see them earn all three points against the Potters. Sebastien Bassong's unnecessary foul on John Guidetti in the box gave Jon Walters a chance to score from the spot for the second weekend in a row and the forward made no mistake. There were some half-chances after Walters' 73rd minute penalty but nothing that could break the stalemate.

Jon Walters scores and then sees red

Stoke forward had a busy day as he scored the goal that pulled Stoke even and was then shown a red card for a high tackle on Alex Tettey.

Jon Walters scored from the spot to spoil Arsenal's trip to the Potteries last weekend and he scored from the same place to take two points away from Norwich City at Carrow Road in Week 29 as well. Not long after his critical goal, Walters went in late and high on a tackle on Alex Tettey that saw the Norwich midfielder taken off and Walters shown the way to the locker room. The match ended 1-1 which leaves both clubs hovering near the relegation zone.
