Manchester City vs Arsenal EPL 09-10: big challenge for Emmanuel Adebayor

The established top four has been made anxious about present situation of Manchester city. In the last three consecutive wins amazed all the other participants of the English Premier League. You all know that City has spent more than £100m to make the team stable and brought some top class footballers like Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Kolo Toure. Among the three, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure transferred from Arsenal and they will take on their previous club on Sunday at the home ground of Manchester City.

I think is will be big challenge to both teams. Arsenal already has lost one game of the new campaign and City cashes three victories over Blackburn, Wolves and Portsmouth. Arsenal just defeated to defending champions Man United but have a record on their bags of biggest away win of 1-6 goals. It can assume that the Saturday match will be a big competitive. But most attention will be fixed on the recently transferred Emmanuel Adebayor who was the striker of Gunner side.

Chelsea is drawing the 3^rd position of the standing board. The club is in pressure about its last defeats alongside toppers Manchester United and Liverpool. Even in the home match at home they got serious defeat to Liverpool by 2-0.

Liverpool is very serious about the faults in the past matches. The team manager Rafa Benitez has warned to his players seriously about it. He marked two mistake seriously and asked all not to repeat again. Liverpool has a match along with Chelsea on the next week. The most important thing is that Chelsea is just 2 points behind them so losing points is no good for them in future.

Goal reported: 

"We have talked about both things. We had to be careful and not commit silly fouls, and then after we had to defend the set-piece.

"OK, we made the mistake - and maybe we can learn from it for the future.

"Clearly we have talked about this. The players realise we have to improve. But we are not conceding too many goals, and it is always going to seem worse when you concede such an important goal in a derby.

"We work on these things every week, practising set-pieces for and against."

Arsenal vs Liverpool 08-09: will Arsenal overcome their lacking

The match between Arsenal vs Liverpool will be huge competition because Arsenal will try to get back in the line up victory. Last week Arsenal secured a prestigious victory alongside Manchester United. The top ranked club Arsenal is passing very bad time and being pendulant to kick out for the premier league this season 08-09. Despite of being hopeless they are inspiring from the last victory against the top 3rd second holder Manchester United, second highest point holder Chelsea and dreaming to take lead in the upcoming match against the top ranked Liverpool in the ongoing season of English Premier League. Beside this, I think they are remembering the miserable moment of very bad surrendered to the Fulham and Hull City.

 

The time is coming for Arsenal is very challenge to survive in this season. At this moment it is difficult to say that what how the result would come and who will be the title holder for this season. Arsenal is leading the 5^th position of the standings board by acquiring 30 points that is 7 points less that the top rank holders Liverpool. I think the management should find out the lacking of the team. May be, Arsenal will engaged some new players earlier of January in the season 09.
