Capital One Cup Semi-Finals 1st Leg Analysis, FIFA Ballon D'Or Coverage:

Hello and welcome to my latest installment of my blog.
In this blog post, I will be giving analysis and coverage of the two Capital One Cup semi-final matches; Bradford vs Aston Villa, and Chelsea vs Swansea.

Also, I will look at the annual Ballon D'Or winners and the latest transfer rumours in the EPL.

First:

Capital One Cup Semi-Final 1st Legs:


Tuesday: Bradford 3 Aston Villa 1

This semi-final first leg match was played in the home of Bradford, who had seen off Arsenal on penalties in the last round to get to the semi-finals for the first time in their club's history. 

Aston Villa have had a bad month in December, after losing 3 matches in a row at home and were desperate not to lose to Bradford away from home in the first leg.  

They got off to a poor start,  

Wednesday: Chelsea 0 Swansea 2
