Editor — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:18:00 GMT

There was a lot of passion shown this weekend, but who were the players able to channel their energy through their feet, and put in a good performance on the pitch to win their head-to-head battles...

Nani (Man Utd) v Barry (Man City) Winner:

GARETH BARRY

Well, obviously because Nani didn't play Barry wins this head-to-head battle, and to be fair Gareth Barry actually had a good game. Showed good ball touch as he took his goal very well, from the padded instep of his adiPure II football boots, though we're sure after such a dramatic defeat he doesn't feel like a winner!

Cole (West Ham) v Gerrard (Liverpool) Winner:

STEVEN GERRARD

So often Liverpool turn to Gerrard to lift the team, and although there was no way he was man of the match, his contribution was vital. Steven Gerrard not only scored Liverpool's second goal, but the powerful Predator player was constantly seeking the ball and kept his team-mates energy and tempo at a high level.

Anelka (Chelsea) v Palacios (Tottenham) Winner:

NICOLAS ANELKA

Anelka was one of four Chelsea players who put in an outstanding performance. Nicolas Anelka has become a perfect partner for Drogba, after an indifferent start together, with his unselfish running down the flanks in v1.08 football boots another threat that added to the confusion to a patchwork Tottenham defence.

Agbonlahor (Aston Villa) v O'Hara (Portsmouth) Winner:

GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR

Nike Mercurial Superfly football boots

Despite a brave performance from Portsmouth, their fate was sealed by Agbonlahor who continued his rich vein of form. Gabriel Agbonlahor blasted the ball home from the edge of the area, a great strike from his Vapor Superfly football boots after another eye-catching performance.

Ther are two highly charged Premier League derbies taking place this weekend, with United hosting rivals City in the battle of Manchester, and Tottenham Hotspur making the short trip to London rivals Chelsea. We've highlighted the players we believe can make the difference in these and selected other Premier League games. So, in this weeks head-to-head battles who do YOU think will come out on top?

Sunday 20th September 13:30 GMT - Manchester United vs Manchester City
Manchester United welcome to Old Trafford local rivals Manchester City, who will be missing a few key players, but this still promises to be the most evenly contested derby in years.

NANI

Nike Vapor V football boots

United will revert to a two up front system with Berbatov partnering Rooney, so service will be essential. Cristiano Ronaldo's departure created a void for Nani to fill, so can the fast and tricky winger exploit the space left behind a roaming Micah Richards in his Vapor V football boots?

GARETH BARRY

Barry will have a lot of ground to cover as United look to move the ball around. But Gareth Barry has been one of the Premier League's top performers this season, with excellent tackling percentage and great passing statistics from his adiPure boots, City will be looking to get Barry on the ball as often as possible.

Saturday 19th September 17:30 GMT - West Ham vs Liverpool
Liverpool travel to West Ham hoping to make up some ground on the leading pack, although West Ham have not won since the opening day and will be keen to secure their first home success of the campaign.

CARLTON COLE

Nike Tiempo Legend II football boots

Cole is a strong player who is good in the air and can expose a Liverpool side who have shown their weaknesses at set-pieces. Carlton Cole could also be instrumental as he can hold the ball up, and can play the ball on the ground in his Nike Legend football boots, to bring his team-mates into the game.

STEVEN GERRARD

Liverpool are struggling to link their defence with attack following the departure of Alonso, but Rafa Benitez thinks he's found the solution by dropping Steven Gerrard into a deeper role. One thing is for sure though, wherever you play the skipper, he leads the team in Predator football boots and will be the most influential player on the park.

Sunday 20th September 16:00 GMT - Chelsea vs Tottenham
Capital rivals Chelsea and Tottenham meet each other at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, with both sides making blistering starts to the season they will be keen to maintain their momentum.

NICOLAS ANELKA

Puma v1.08 football boots

Chelsea are a physically strong side with the likes of Essien, Ballack and Drogba, which could pre-occupy Ledley King and his associates in the Tottenham defence. This means the pacy Nicolas Anelka will have to be on his toes so he can capitalise in these battle. Anelka wears Puma v1.08 football boots and was the Premier League's top goalscorer last season, can he continue his good form in front of goal.

WILSON PALACIOS

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

Chelsea will be looking to dominate the midfield with Lampard and Essien, but Wilson Palacios has an annoying habit of getting in the way! The combative midfielder could play a crucial role in disrupting the flow of Chelsea's play, to help his Tottenham side get a foothold in the game.

Saturday 19th September 15:00 GMT - Aston Villa vs Portsmouth
These are the games Villa need to win comfortably if they are going to mount a challenge on the top four clubs, but Portsmouth desperately need to get some points on the board.

GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR

Nike Mercurial Superfly football boots

Agbonlahor is the in-form player for Aston Villa, and his pace is quite a frightening asset. It's no surprise the striker wears the lightweight Superfly football boots, so he can be the first to the ball. And Villa will be looking to play a few through balls for Agbonlahor to latch onto against a shaky Portsmouth defence.

JAMIE O'HARA

adidas Predator Conf. football boots

O'Hara is a good loan signing for Portsmouth as he can bring some stability to the core of the team. He faces a tough task on Saturday, but O'Hara should be confident he can win individual battles with Steve Sidwell and Nigel Reo-Coker, and maybe create something for Portsmouth.
