Tevez (Man City) v Mancinne (Wolves) Winner:
CARLOS TEVEZ
Nike Tiempo Legend football boots
Adebayor may grab the headlines again but Tevez, still sporting the classic Nike Tiempo Legend football boots, is already a favourite with the fans as he played the killer pass for his strike partner to score the only goal of the game. A difficult afternoon for Mancienne, who along with his Wolves team mates fought hard and bravely but could not prevent a home win.

Murphy (Fulham) v Lampard (Chelsea) Winner:
|
FRANK LAMPARD
adidas adiPure II football boots
Indeed it was Chelsea's midfield general Lampard, wearing the white/cardinal adidas adiPure II football boots that comes out on top in our final head to head. Lampard was his usual imposing self on the pitch and was central to everything as Chelsea flowed forward, and wins this battle as his head to head opponent was unfortunately subbed after 70 mins following a tough challenge.

Saturday 22nd August 15:00 - Arsenal v Portsmouth
Arsenal are on the crest of a wave after two impressive victories, and a low on confidence Portsmouth could find themselves on the wrong end of some more glitzy Gunners football.

Saturday 22nd August 15:00 - Man City v Wolves
Big-spending Manchester City play their first home game of the new season, fresh from a victory over reigning European Champions Barcelona. Wolves will be feeling confident after coming through a tricky away tie at Wigan with all three points, but how will England U21 star Mancienne cope with the attacking threat of players like Carlos Tevez...
CARLOS TEVEZ
Nike Tiempo Legend football boots
All the talk is Tevez starting against Wolves, and the much talked about striker keeps it old school and shows his new colours at the same time with these classic Nike Tiempo Legend football boots.
