Today is a very important day for us… With two teams above us losing, in Villa and Chelsea, we must win to gain some ground on the top four. If we win today, we will swap places with Man City to get to sixth, with a game in hand on the current top 4 of Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and Sp*rs – and a win in game in hand would see us only 3 points behind United and Chelsea…
Before I look at today’s team news, we’ve had the Carling Cup draw today and we’ve got Liverpool at the Emirates on the 27th or 28th October… I’m hoping the 27th… Here’s the Carling Cup draw in it’s entirety:
Blackburn Rovers v Peterborough United
Manchester City v Scunthorpe United
Tottenham Hotspur v Everton
Barnsley v Manchester United
Chelsea v Bolton Wanderers
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Arsenal v Liverpool
Portsmouth v Stoke City
It will be an exciting game, and I’m sure if fit, Carlos Vela will start this one!
