Arsenal v Everton

Everton have improved of late and I think the signing of Landon Donovan on loan is a decent one. But, while their results and performances are on the right trend, I don't see them getting anything at all from the Emirates

Man Utd, on the other hand, are stuttering a touch at right now and are struggling to put away the lower teams, which they used to be so expert at when they had Cristiano Ronaldo.

Blackburn, on the other hand, are going through an inconsistent spell and that is exactly what they don't need as they travel to a City side that have been excellent at home all season.

I'm going to go for a comfortable City win here. City have real competition for places, they're already making moves in the transfer market - though I'm not sure how much impact Patrick Vieira will have for them - and they look a team on a mission.

Togo team bus attacked in Angola
Togo team bus attacked in Angola
A bus carrying the Togo national team has reportedly come under attack from gunfire in Angola leaving one dead and several players wounded.
The Sparrow Hawks are in the country ahead of the African Nations Cup, which gets under way on Sunday.
According to reports at least three Togo players and the bus driver suffered injuries during the attack.
"I'm okay but several players are in a bad state," Togo and Nantes striker Thomas Dossevi told French radio station RMC.
"We are still at hospital. We were machine-gunned like dogs and had to remain hidden under our seats for around 20 minutes to avoid the bullets."
Togo are scheduled to begin their cup campaign against Ghana on Monday.
A club spokesman for Manchester City said they were aware of the reports and were trying to contact Adebayor to establish what has happened.
Midfielder Alaixys Romao admits the players feared the worst and thinks Togo are now likely to pull out of the tournament.
"We're not thinking yet of what could happen," said the Grenoble player. "But it's true that no-one wants to play.
"We're not capable of it.
"We're thinking first of all about the health of our injured because there was a lot of blood on the ground.
"For the moment there is not much news because they have been taken to different hospitals.
"In cases like these we're thinking of those near us, of those we love because that really could have been the end of us."
Romanian side FC Vaslui confirmed their defender Serge Akakpo, who joined the club from French side Auxerre last year, was shot and badly injured in the attack.
The club said, though, the 22-year-old was out of danger after being treated by doctors.
A statement on the club's website, www.vasluifc.ro, read: "Badly injured in an ambush in Angola, Serge Akakpo is now out of danger.
"Akakpo was struck by two bullets in the attack and has lost much blood. His condition was stabilised by doctors.
"FC Vaslui have been in touch with relatives of the player, who confirmed he has undergone surgery, which went very well."
