So, the International break is over and its back to the domestic season tomorrow. Chelsea and Spurs are both sitting top after four games with maximum points with Man Utd on 9 points and Man City on 9 points but with a game in hand.
The big game of the weekend is undoubtedly City v Arsenal at Eastlands. Its a huge game for the Shekihs along with the expectations of Hughes and City supporters. Its their first real test of the season against one of the 'big four' and a team who are playing great football at the moment. The Gooners are no doubt going to miss Fabregas and Arshavin. Wenger has already managed to have a moan about the Russians overplaying Arshavin to aggravate a groin. Poor old Arsene... I can City getting something from this with Adebayor looking to prove his old team and supporters wrong in the fact that he is lazy and just like Kanu. With no Tevez for City this could be a blow as his work rate and determination will be sorely missed but not without the efforts from Craig Bellamy who will likely partner Adebayor in attack.
We might even get to see a glimpse of Rio this weekend who is looking to return in time for the big game between Spurs and Man Utd at the Lane. The lillywhites will be looking to make an impact against the angry scots team with Lennon and Defoe on flying form. The customary Berbatov boo boys will be on show.
My team, the tractor boys are off away at the 'smog monsters'. I don't hold much hope out for this one with boro's form but maybe the new signings, Leadbitter and Carlos Edwards will have some say on their debuts. Keano desperately needs a win if we are to push on in our quest to be in the premiership next season. I really want the Keane factor to come to fruition as I believe he is the type of gritty character that Ipswich need. No more Mr nice guys...
