The portal [link="http://www.eurofootball.com"]"EuroFootball.com"[/link] has taken a look at the standings of the Russian Premier League as the battles resume after the winter break. With 9 rounds left until the end of the championship, Moscow's CSKA team has gained a solid seven-point lead over their closest rivals, the Machachkala "Anzhi" footballers. It seems that Guus Hiddink's disciples have not yet woken up from their winter sleep - in the last two rounds, the ambitious club has only managed to earn one point against mid-table teams. For a spot in next year's UEFA Champions League tournament, St. Petersburg's "Zenit" team is also fighting, having collected 41 points after 21 rounds and currently in third position. Among the "Lithuanian" teams, Giedrius Arlauskis's Kazan "Rubin" is performing the best - in seventh place and with excellent chances to compete again in the UEFA Europa League next season. Edgaras Cesnauskis's "Rostov" is content with 12th place in the standings, while Vladikavkaz's "Alania", represented by Lithuanian national team veteran Deividas Šemberas, is in last place, facing relegation from the top league. Leading the list of the most productive players in the championship with 12 accurate shots is Moscow's "Spartak" striker Yura Movsisyan, followed closely by Lacina Traore ("Anzhi") and Aleksandr Kerzhakov ("Zenit") with 10 goals each. The famous "Anzhi" attacking leader Samuel Eto'o has defeated opponents' goalkeepers 7 times. Results / Standings:
