The English Premiership title race could be made the decision by matches that shall pit the top 4 contenders among each other. Circumstance in position is Liverpool’s win more than Chelsea. It gave the Reds the distance it necessary from the Blues and cease them in their tracks. Even though the draw that Chelsea has in opposition to Hull further increased the gap.

An additional possible situation is Aston Villa’s resurgence. The team has now occupied the third spot right after they dislodged Arsenal in fourth spot and Chelsea’s slip from 3rd. Surprisingly, the group is carrying out it quietly, minus the pomp and buzz. If they continue to maintain on to 3rd area, then it means that Arsenal and Chelsea now have to fight for fourth location for a opportunity to play in the Champions League. This kind of is the significance of the Gunners’ match versus Tottenham Hotspur.

In the initial football outcome of Sunday, Tottenham missed the opportunity to choose up three precious points when it failed to win its match in opposition to Arsenal despite the Gunners getting diminished to 10 guys and had to settle to a – draw. Emmanuel Eboue was given the red card following he picked up two pointless yellow cards all in the first fifty percent. Arsenal fans then watched their senior striker Emmanuel Adebayor be taken out in what the Gunners suspect as a severe hamstring injuries.

New Arsenal recruit Andrey Arshavin was not employed in the match even if he was current at the substitutes’ bench as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger still has doubts on Arshavin’s match fitness. The Russian playmaker has not played aggressive football considering that the shut of the Russian League for its winter break.

Robbie Keane made his very first look for the club soon after a forgettable transfer transfer to Liverpool which noticed him struggle for a location in the first group squad. He partnered Roman Pavlyuchenko in assault and seemed to be functioning very effectively. They had been unfortunate even though to find the net for the impotant objectives that could have placed the team even more away from the relegation zone.

For Arsenal though, the draw has happy the side no conclude as they know that with what transpired on the pitch, points could have been even worse and they may have endured a loss. But the draw didn’t assist their trigger of getting into the top four slots both.

Adebayor’s hamstring injuries implies that the striker shall be out for 3 weeks. In that span, he shall implies the Gunners’ league games towards Sunderland and Fulham, theFA Cup replay towards Cardiff and the Champions League sport towards Roma. He joins the team’s extended listing of injured players amongst them Cesc Fabregas (knee), Thomas Rosicky (hamstring tendon), Mikael Silvestre (thigh), Abou Diaby (thigh) and Theo Walcott (shoulder).

Croatian striker Eduardo, who broke his leg virtually a yr in the past, returned to the aspect and sat at the substitutes’ bench. He along with youthful Mexican striker Carlos Vela can cover for Adebayor’s absence at the forward position. Robin Van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner appear to be Wenger’s preferred attacking duo at the minute.

With Tottenham, manager Harry Redknapp is hoping that the money splurge that he shelled out to acquire players Keane and Jermaine Defoe shall jumpstart his team’s bid to escape relegation.
