Emirates next for Louis men.

Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla, Angel Di Maria, Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, David De Gea, Radamel Falcao, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Marouane Fellaini, Antonio Valencia, Adnan Januzaj with names like these in your squad both Arsenal & Manchester United would be expected to be slugging it out at the summit but find themselves well off the pace already this season. You will not see a defender above and that speaks volumes. Together these two have conceded 36 goals thus far and if you consider that leaders Chelsea and  Southampton together haven only conceded 16 it explains why the Gunners and the Reds find themselves  sixth and seventh on the table. Going forward Wenger side have somewhat been riding the Sanchez wave, I mean the Chilean has now scored 8 in his last 6 for club and country and will definitely trouble any defence United paste together.

Lewis Hamilton v Nico Rosberg: how the title can be won

1st Derby Day in Manchester for LvG!

Phillip Neville revealed on BBC Radio 5 last week that Ruud van Nistelrooy once swapped his jersey at half time in a Manchester Derby so Fergie told him off saying: "if he did that again he'd be out of the club". Needless to say it never happened again. So if the importance of this Super Sunday Derby needed any reminding, that statement says it all. In essence the 3 points on offer is but a sub plot to the real matters at hand. The citizens come off back to back crushing if not surprising defeats and face an ever improving Red Devils outfit unbeaten in their last 4 matches (granted the last two were draws). Head to head though City have won five of their last six encounters with United, winning the last three in a row. They can also boast a 7-1 aggregate in the league last season not to mention scoring 18 goals in just the six fixtures between the two.
