Sunderland duo Craig Gordon and George McCartney both miss out because of injuries. 1423: Team news Skipper Ledley King and striker Darren Bent return to the starting line-up for Spurs, who revert to a five-man midfield, with midweek Carling Cup heroes Roman Pavyluchenko and Frazier Campbell on the bench. 1422: Team news Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney do not even make the Manchester United bench for the visit of Stoke. The United captain has a bad back, while Rooney is suffering from a chest infection and a calf strain. Ryan Giggs is another to miss out for the home side with a hamstring problem. Jonny Evans, Carlos Tevez and Park Ji-Sung all start.
1433: Team news Arsene Wenger keeps faith with the same Arsenal starting line-up that defeated Man Utd last Saturday. Samir Nasri will play off Nicklas Bendtner in attack, though Emmanuel Adebayor has recovered from injury and is on the substitutes bench. Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill makes one change from the team that lost at home to Middlesbrough, bringing Stiliyan Petrov into midfield in place of Nigel Reo-Coker. Striker John Carew is on the bench.
1521: PENALTY SAVE Manuel Almunia dives low to his right to prevent Ashley Young from putting Aston Villa ahead. Gareth Barry normally takes their penalties but had been injured in the build up. Manuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We cannot even pressure the top two with games like these. This is fucking ridiculous. We have to be one of the most inconsistent teams in the league right now. At this rate, we're doing worse than we did last year. I don't even care if we win this game tonight. This is not fucking good enough.
Every fucking ball goes their way. Every fucking call goes their way. Every fucking long ball gets intercepted. Every fucking chance falls to nothing. Every fucking one of their chances goes so close. Every fucking time we under-achieve. Every fucking time Wenger is an stubborn prick and doesn't buy fucking old, experienced players. Every fucking season we just miss out on silverware. Every fucking season we say we'll win one next year. Every fucking season we fail.
Now we're going to hear: Arsenal's title bid is over. We beat City next week, and it'll be the opposite. In my opinion, we will not win the league. I'll be happy if we get fourth.
What a goal by welbeck though, here are the highlights: http://indonewyork.com/contents/Berita/Olahraga/sepakbola/highlights/epl/week13-mu-stoke.html We have talent coming through as well as Arsenal: Anderson Nani Campbell Wellbeck Evans Rafael Fabio and many others that are just behind them in talent.
