Manc City vs Arsenal

We have been talking about team spirit, how money can't buy you team spirit and all that. City have been more focused on telling us that they are serious and focused on winning the game and keep the target of premiership in sight. To be honest, they have the biggest squad to keep them in contention, even more than Chelsea if injuries were to hit any of the squads.

The Whore that went north (Ade) has been suggesting how eager he is to play against Arsenal after scoring a hat-trick in Europe. I think if Manchini plays him instead of Tevez, it would be far better for us, simply because he wont be really useful in counters, nor one on ones. Man, I do wish he plays for at least the first 60 minutes.

Paul Merson has given a very logical and possible game prediction. He suggested that Arsenal will control the game, have plenty of possession but won't finish their chances. On the other hand, City will play on counter and set pieces and wait for Arsenal to commit plenty up the field. I hope Clichy and Sagna (Eboue) whoever plays would keep a close eye out for breaks. Song, for f's sake, dont push into the 6 yard box before making someone else step back to support the CBs!

I am really upbeat for this fixture with Cesc looking fit and Arshavin rested. Wenger will probably play his baby Abou, since Wilshere is suspended. I hope Eastmond is also kept on the bench just in case. Diaby slows down the game a lot more than anyone else. I just hope everyone is on the same wavelength.

Probable Team:
============= Fabianksi =========================

Sagna ======= Squillaci ===== Djourou ===== Clichy

============= Diaby ========== Song ==============

==================== Cesc =========================

Nasri ---------------------------------- Arshavin

--------------- Chamakh ----------------------------

Subs: Schezny, Gibbs, Denilson, Rosicky, Bendtner, Lansbury.

Score prediction: Mancs 2 - 1 Arsenal
Tevez, Yaya Cesc (penalty)

HOPE I AM WRONG. VERY VERY WRONG AND ARSENAL WINS!
