Man City Vs Arsenal: 4-2. 12th September 2009

Vs

The Premier League returns to action after the international break with a mouthwatering tie at the City of Manchester Stadium.With three wins out of three games,albeit being mid-table wins, and  all with lone goals from former Gunner traitor Adebayor, the new kids on the block will be thinking they can rattle Arsene's men, the new money bags of England will be looking forward to continue their 100% good start with a team that boast of two former Arsenal Players in Kolo and Adebaybore.The latter hoping to continue his lucky goalscoring form.City are yet to concede a goal this season. This match will be their first big test  of the season with their new buys. The Citizens will most likely start with Toure and Joleon Lescott continuing their new partnership at the back, along with Wayne Bridge and Micah Richards lining up in full-back areas. In midfield Gareth Barry,Robinho, Stephen Ireland and Shaun Wright-Phillips should start,  Up front, Adebayor will be hungry to prove that Arsenal were wrong to sell him, the Togo goathitman became too big for his boots after just one season and his antics on Football Focus and kissing his shirt last season became tiring for many. so he had to go , he is likely to be supported by Craig Bellamy, after Carlos Tevez was ruled out with a knee injury he picked up while away with Argentina

After being robbed in their last league match against the  Scummies, Wenger's men will be looking forward to this match to prove to their critics that Citeh can and never be a match for the Gunners. Wenger is likely to stick with the same line-up as the one that was defeated at Old Trafford with Fabregas' expected return the only change.  New Buy Vermaelen and  Gallas have formed an impressive partnership,  In midfield, Alex Song will play a holding role, allowing Emmanuel Eboue, Abou Diaby and Fabregas freedom to get further forward and support the attack. Robin Van Persie, Theo walcott ( who is expected from Injury after missing out on England's Qualifier and also Rosicky,(who is also expected back after featuring for Czech republic in the qualifiers) and Andrei Arshavin are likely to start, although Wenger can also call on Nicklas Bendtner and Eduardo if he wants to freshen things up.

Well as it is, we have lost Arshavin already but luckily its only for the next two games.

My man Carlos Tevez a.ka Apache is out for this one.
Watch RVP run rings round Kolo Toure and laugh at him after scoring.
Also, look out for Ade celebrating with the Gooners after we score, only to be chastised back to reality by Stephen Ireland_Adeblindhen
Fab4 to continue his good scoring form against Kuwait Citeh

do u believe now?

Anyways, Arshavin or no Arshavin, we will beat ManCity, I have no doubt watsoever.

Meanwhile, as per Djorou's case, arsenal.com has confirmed that he will be out for 'six to eight' months. For me, thats almost ruling him out of the season. Luckily we have Song. I have not seen Senderos in CB position since he came back from Milan but Im hoping he came back a better player. However, considering Arsene wanted to sell him off in summer, that is a bit doubtful. Whichever way, Ina to turn prayer warrior make Song/Gallas/Vermaleen dont getinjured at the same time.

don't worry arsenal will show ade how to score

Arsenal might get back and show Man U some guts

nicklas should start upfront,vp on d right,rosicky or diaby on the left.denilson was not involved in any qualifying game so he should start.i'm not sure SONG played any of the game against gabon so he 2 will b very FRESH
