Premier League Fixtures 31st January

Arsenal v Manchester Un[ted
Arsenal still have loads of injuries but Aaron Ramsey is fit to start although some reports say Samir Nasri could replace him. Ryan Giggs is fine too. Manchester United might want to rest him again but they are playing against Arsenal and Ryan was the best player the last time the two sides met. (So really, I think I want him to be left out…)

Manchester City v Portsmouth
Craig Bellamy should be starting. He deserves it and Robinho’s gone on loan so Manchester City really need him. Probably even against Portsmouth.
He’s not Welsh and he's definitely not one of my favourite footballers but it will be good to see Emmanuel Adebayor making is 100th Premier League start. What happened in Angola was terrible and I hope he’s doing okay. I’m shocked though that Togo have been banned from competing in the next two African Cup of Nations tournaments. Maybe it’s the usual punishment for teams who withdraw but these are very exceptional circumstances. Togo’s withdrawal is completely understandable (and it wasn’t even the choice of the team but the country’s government). And now they’re being punished.
