Premiership preview

Fergie goes for youth power

AFP, London
Wayne Rooney is not the only youngster generating a buzz of excitement around Old Trafford at the moment.
With half his first choice line-up sidelined by a combination of injuries and suspension, Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has had little option but to rely on emerging talents as he battles to prevent the club's season disintegrating before it has even begun.
Saturday's lunchtime trip to Blackburn will provide the next test of United's young guns' ability to stay in touch with Arsenal and Chelsea while awaiting the return of Wes Brown, Roy Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy from injury and the end of Rio Ferdinand's eight-month ban for missing a doping test.
This week's news that Keane will be out of action for at least three weeks with cracked ribs could scarcely have come at a worse time. But at least that setback was offset by the prospect of French striker Louis Saha returning to action against Blackburn after recovering from a knee injury.
Ferguson will have been cheered too by the way one of United's youngest ever line-ups acquitted them-
selves in the 3-0 win over Dynamo Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier in midweek.
The starting line-up featured two 18-year-olds, Jonathan Spector and Chris Eagles as well as 19-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, Darren Fletcher, 20, and two 23-year-olds in John O'Shea and Eric Djemba-Djemba.
Gary Neville, at the grand old age of 29, found himself in the unfamiliar position of being the oldest player in United's team, but he was certainly not complaining.
"To be the oldest player shows the way the club is going," the England defender said. "They want to bring in young talented players, ones through the ranks and ones they want to sign as well."
Spector, who performed with composure at left-back on Wednesday, could retain his place at the back for the first encounter of a busy weekend for United. Everton visit Old Trafford on Monday, by which time the two clubs may well have agreed on a fee to facilitate Rooney's expected switch from Goodison Park.
The early season pressure on United has been exacerbated by Arsenal's exhilarating start to the season. The champions take on Premiership newcomers Norwich on Saturday seeking to extend their
record-breaking unbeaten league run to 44 matches.
After scoring 12 goals in their first three matches, the chances of Arsenal tripping up at Carrow Road appear slight, particularly given the current form of Dennis Bergkamp.
The 35-year-old Dutch forward has started the season in such scintillating form that Arsenal have barely noticed the absence of both Sol Campbell and skipper Patrick Vieira in the opening weeks of this campaign.
Bergkamp has confounded suggestions that his best days were behind him and his team-mate Robert Pires sees no reason why he cannot continue to ply his trade in the Premierhip for another couple of years.
"When you see him play like this, you get the impression that he is a young player, certaintly not 35 years old," Pires said.
Norwich are not the only team with a daunting appointment on Saturday afternoon.
Southampton will travel to joint leaders Chelsea still reeling from the abrupt dismissal of Paul Sturrock earlier this week.
Chelsea's 24-million-pound striker Didier Drogba is a doubt for the match with an ankle injury which forced him off near the end of the midweek win at Crystal Palace.
Drogba scored his first goal in
English football in that match and is desperate to continue his adaptation to the Premiership.
"I am not physically at my best yet and still need a bit of time to improve my sharpness," he said. "When I'm settled and ready I will take a few more of the opportunities that I get.
"You need to score as a striker but I can help the team in other ways and I feel I am fitting in well in the Premiership. I love playing here and the team has played well in the first three games."
With Sturrock now seeking new employment, Kevin Keegan has assumed his position at the head of the list of managers tipped to leave their jobs.
Manchester City's disastrous start to the season -- one point from three games -- has left Keegan in desperate need of a positive result when Charlton visit the City of Manchester Stadium on Saturday.
