Zenden out to ruin Van der Sar day

olo Zenden is desperate to ruin Edwin van der Sar's day when his old friend visits Sunderland with Manchester United this weekend. United will arrive at the Stadium of Light on Sunday hoping Chelsea have not won at Liverpool earlier in the day and established a four-point lead at the top of the table.Whatever has happened at Anfield, United will be desperate to become only the third travelling side to win in the league on Wearside this season - Chelsea themselves and Aston Villa are the only teams to have done so to date - to ensure the fight for the big prize goes all the way to the final kick of the campaign.Zenden will hope to play some part in the game, and the fact his fellow Dutchman Van der Sar will stand in his way makes little difference to him.He said: "It will be good to see each other again. He is unbelievable. Him signing for another year at United and still playing at the top level is fantastic."I am really pleased for him and wish him all the best - but on Sunday, we will be doing our best to get a result."Mathematically, it is still possible to finish higher up the table, so we have plenty to play for."Sunderland have bounced back from their mid-season slump to put together a much-improved run of results, and are promising United a tough test.The Black Cats came within seconds of a famous victory at Old Trafford on October 3, when only Anton Ferdinand's late own goal denied them, and have already beaten Liverpool and Arsenal on Wearside this season.Zenden told the club's official website: "The whole squad is looking forward to the game. The stadium will be a sell-out and we have done well at home."The good thing is United are still playing to win the title, so they have to come here and do something."But while they want to be champions, we want to get something good out of the game as well and finish in the top half."Zenden, 33, is currently mulling over the offer of a further year at Sunderland after signing for 12 months following his departure from Marseille, although manager Steve Bruce is giving him time to consider his options.
