Manchester City Vs Arsenal Preview | City Vs Gunners Preview | Man City Vs Arsenal Line Up

Manchester City vs Arsenal, the match that gonna define the Arsenal season. City sitting in the 2nd spot with 17 points and Arsenal a place behind them with 14 points so a win can push the gunners to the 2nd spot and a defeat can down them to 7th this explains the criticality of this away fixture for Arsenal. But traveling to city and getting 3 points is a tough nut to crack, even the leaders Chelsea have gone there and came empty handed.
Differences of Manchester City and Arsenal:For me these are two most different clubs in the world. The one who had spend 400 million and the other 40 million on player transfers over the past two years. The one who plays the old school type of football and the other a most attractive football. The who's team chemistry is not so good and the other its the best in few seasons.

The Key Players:Manchester City:

The Key players for obviously would be their captain Carlos Tevez, he is in a tremendous f

orm this year, i see him as one of the contenders for the footballer of the year 2010. The wingers Adam Johnson and David Silva will be a cause of worries for the full backs of Arsenal. Yaya Toure, the players who Arsene should have brought could be the different between the teams.
Arsenal:

Again the obvious key player is the Arsenal captain Fabregas, he ca change the fate of any match he is in. Samir Nasri one of the stars of the season so far. Marouane Chamakh the bosman who is turning to be a key player in the gunners side.Andrei Arshavin even though he is not playing to his best, he is a match winner. Last but not the least Theo Walcott.
Verdit:
My heart say Arsenal but my head says Manchester city.

Manchester City Vs Arsenal | Manchester City Vs Arsenal Preview | 4 3 3 vs 4 3 3 | Arsenal 2008 vs Arsenal 2009

This week end, Arsenal play with against Arsenal 2008 .. er .. Manchester City at City of Manchester Stadium. Both the club's fan will be eager about the out come of the match, as this Manchester City's first quality test and for Gunners its a match against two alums of Arsenal, Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. It would be interesting to see Gallas marking Adebayor and Toure marking Robin Van Persie. I call this match as4 3 3 vs 4 3 3, both the teams have applied this attacking formation this season and have been successful too, but Arsenal leads in the total goals scored list and Man City have 100% win record. So rather than predicting formations or results as usual, I gonna compare the teams so that you can come to predicting terms.

Goal Keepers - Manuel Almunia Vs Shay Given, Both are very experienced and solid goolees, no one edges out.

Central Defence - William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen Vs Kolo Toure Vs Joleon Lescott. Gallas and Vermaelen are in their form of their lives scoring goals as well and its vise versa with Toure and Lescott, Lescott especially is totally lacks confidence after the opener against Arsenal.

Wing Backs - Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna Vs Micah Richards and Wayne Bridge. Clichy and Sagna wins hands down, its like competition of the best vs the rest.

Midfield - Fabregas, Denilson, Song VS Barry, Ireland, SWP. This is the victory defining competition. Man to man comparison, Song Vs Barry, Barry wins. Denilson Vs SWP, both are different type of players difficult to compare. Fabregas Vs (Ireland)^2, Fab wins. But if Fab is not playing, Denilson Vs Ireland, where Ireland wins.

Forwards - RVP, Bendtner, Arshavin Vs Adebayor, Tevez, Robinho. Adebayor Vs Bendtner, Ade wins hands down, I'm sure he gonna score against his old club. RVP Vs Robinho, even though Robinho has all the talent he dosent have mental strengths, like determination, consistency and etcs, that's why RVP wins. Arshavin Vs Tevez, there is no comparison, Arshavin wins hands down.

Even though I'm Arsenal biased, most of the football geeks will accept the above, simply for the quality Arsenal posses. Its not about win, points, silverware its all about how you play to win, thats why we follow, love, live Arsenal forever. Money cant buy quality or Wenger, hope that the Rich Arab realises sooner before he gets transfer ban.
