I haven't been keeping well; I've been bed-ridden for the last three days and I have to say it sucks.
Anyway, Arsenal face off with a stuttering Man City today knowing a draw would not be good enough for both teams. We are a point off our noisy neighbours, while Chelsea and Newcastle have piled the pressure on us with wins to remain just two points below us.
Man City on the other hand, as of now, lie 8 points adrift of Man United and if they have any hopes of winning the league they need to go for it today, unlike the previous time they visited the Emirates when they were playing for a 0-0 and could muster a single shot on goal. Won't it be poetic justice if we do the exact same thing to them today and kill their title hopes? But thankfully Arsene does not play that way and we'll be in for an exiting match.
Team Line Ups:
Arsenal(4-2-3-1): Wojciech Szczesny, Kieran Gibbs, Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny, Bacary Sagna, Mikel Arteta, Alex Song, Yossi Benayoun, Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie.
