Robinho is a doubt for Manchester City after picking up an injury in Brazil’s win against Argentina last weekend.
Carlos Tevez is out after twisting his knee in the same match, although City are hopeful he could play some part against Manchester United next Sunday.
Andrey Arshavin may miss Arsenal’s next three games after aggravating a groin problem in Russia’s win against Wales.Cesc Fabregas is back from a hamstring problem, while Tomas Rosicky made his comeback for the Czechs on Wednesday.
Manchester City
Suspended: None Doubtful: Robinho (leg)
Injured: Johnson (groin), Kompany (toe), Santa Cruz & Tevez (knee)Arsenal
Suspended: None Doubtful: Vela (ankle)
Injured: Arshavin (groin), Djourou (knee), Fabianski (knee),
Nasri (leg), Walcott (back) (BBC Sport)
This should be a barnstormer of a game with a great atmosphere. I have a great deal of respect for the Man City supporters who haven’t had much to shout about in years and deserve to have a mega rich owner who can help push them onwards and upwards, however I do not have an ounce of respect for a certain Emmanuel Adebayor who will be on show (unless he cries off at the last moment). The Togolese striker treated Arsenal football club and its supporters with disdain and disrespect in the manner he attempted last summer to engineer a move to AC Milan and the resultant childish behaviour when it went pear shaped made him a figure of hate among the Gunners faithful and he had no choice but to leave us, but at least we got a pretty penny for him.
One man who will get a hearty cheer from the away fans will be Kolo Toure, who is the polar opposite to Adebayor and a player of great character and loyalty. Back to the game, this will be a tight one and could go either way. We performed manfully at Old Trafford and didn’t deserve to lose. I am going to sit on the fence for this one.
My Prediction: 1-1

City may have robinho and tevez, but arsenal have lost far more with arshavin being injured! That said rosicky is a decent replacement for arshavin, while bellamy is a poor replacement for robinho or tevez.
I am gonna predict arsenal 3-1 city as ade will probs score, but that only proves that the best city player is an arsenal reject so in what world can they hope to be on the same level as arsenal?

We;re not on your level, we beat you 3-0 last year so currently we;re above your level.

city have scraped a 1-0 win over pompey, the bottom of the leage team thats lost all its player n hasnt got a point yet, and other than that they have beat blackburn and wolves, arsenal is there real first test at one of the big sides… i think they will lose 3-0

that comment makes no sense whatsoever. if you claim that ur replacement for ur injured player is better than ours, how can losing your player be a bigger blow?
i will be happy with DeJong and Bellamy replacing the injured duo with ireland pushing further forward. that way we look a lot tighter with better pressure on the ball.
we are not going to cry about losing injured players having spent all this money, unlike other teams

Shitty 0-7 Arsenal with Adebayor hatrick in his own net.
anonymous - September 12th, 2009 at 3:11 am
Ade to take 50k bribe to score 6 goals in his own net. It all adds up as far as a mercenary is concerned!
anonymous - September 12th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Am a gunner’s fan we going to beat them.
anonymous - September 12th, 2009 at 8:45 am
i really hope vermaelen breaks ade’s leg.
anonymous - September 12th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Personally I hope we get an entertaining game of football – I should have thought Arsenal have the quality to win 1-0 or 2-0.
Meanwhile could some of the posters here try getting past the kindergarten playground stage of mental and emotional development.
I suspect Adebayor will do one of his famous disappearing acts – I’m not sure he has the intestinal fortitude for the big challenges.

anyone see adebayors comments on goal.com? the bastard bags arsenal fans..cnt wait to see the reception that he gets.
