Man City vs Arsenal Preview from Stan James

We'll see a radically different Arsenal side tonight as they travel to The City of Manchester Stadium to take on Man City. The Carling Cup is not one of the coverted trophies Arsenal want, but they'll still take it nevertheless. Their squad is probably the strongest in the league, so whatever team they put out it will be a quality one. But the compilers aren't convinced. At Stan James we bet Man City??11/8, The Draw??11/5, Arsenal??13/8 So Man City are favourites and I suppose it's a reasonable assumption. The Carling Cup is a big trophy in their eyes, and they'll want it more than Arsenal. They are at home and King Kev?.feisty as ever recently?.will have them pumped up and ready. The word on the street is that Shaun Wright Phillips will partner Robbie Fowler up front, but they'll miss key players Nicolas Anelka and John Macken. Wright Phillips is different gravy and to score at anytime in the 90 minutes he's a 15/8 shot. Could be value. Also strengthening their cause will be the fact that David James won't be playing ?(only joking)?.as Ronald Wattereus replaces him between the pegs. The Arsenal team will see starts for Robin Van Persie, Senderos, Flamini, Fabregas, Pennant and the much talked about Italian striker Arturo Lupoli. He's a 11/2 shot to score first. A different team then and although it's talented, it might not have the cohesion that a full Arsenal team would. But one thing that is certain is that it will be entertaining. We think we'll see goals tonight?.it just strikes you as that sort of game. However these things have a habit lately of being the exact opposite. There have been very few high scoring televised games. If you are thinking of going down that road then Under 2 goals is a very tempting 13/5.
