Zenit-CSKA clash will be the key battle of Matchday 25 as it is sure to clarify at least something in Premier Liga title race.

However, Russian Football Union president Vitaly Mutko is convinced the comign slugfest won't be able to determine the main candiate for the title.

"The teams will have to play five matches more and some of them will be very important, Zenit-Lokomotiv, Zenit-FC Moskva clashes, Spartak's match against FC Moskva and Saturn," said Mutko to Sport Express.

"The other clashed are also highly unlikely to be easy."

"I hope that Zenit and CSKa will present supporters a spectacle equal to the one produced by Lokomotiv and Spartak."

"There are all the necessary prerequisites for good football: the teams' players are in good shape, the match will be officiated by a foreign referee which won't let anyone justify their defeat by the the referee's prejudice."

"So I hope the clash will go down in history as a fair, eye-catching slugfest in which the strongest celebrated a win."

"I don't think that we will see as many goals as we did in Lokomotiv-Spartak clash."

"The teams will be concentrated on the result but football is not only goals, so I hope the clash will be equally breath-taking."

"I will pay special attention to those players who will play England in Euro-2008 qualifier: Vasily and Alexei Beresutskiy, Sergei Ignashevich, Yuriy Zhirkov, Andrei Arshavin, Konstantin Zyryanov, Alexander Anyukov, Pavel Pogrebnyak and probably Vyacheslav Malafeev."

"Their participation in the clash makes it extremely interesting for supporters and don't forget about CSKA's Brazilians."

"So I think those who go to the stadium Saturday or spend two hours watching the clash on TV won't be wasting time."
