Former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is set to face a late fitness test with the Spurs medical
staff this weekend - but should still be able to shake off the ill effects of a recent knee injury
in a bid to return to the Tottenham lineup to face bitter North London rivals Arsenal at the
Emirates on Sunday.
Arsenal face a near impossible task in their bid to advance in the 2012 UEFA Champions League
following their humiliation at the hands of Italian giants AC Milan last night. Outclassed in every
department against experienced European opposition, an agitated Arsene Wenger condemned and
lamented his side's performance - conceding that Arsenal failed to acquit themselves during any
stage of the tie and were adequately punished by their superior opposition.
England striker Wayne Rooney scored 2 penalties and produced an inspiring second half display as
Manchester United fought back from a seemingly hopeless position at Stanford Bridge. Trailing by a
single goal at half time, even the most die hard of United supporters must have thought all was
lost when a disastrous start to the second half saw early goals from Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata
(who buried a stunning volley) and a deflected set piece header from centre back David Luiz treble
the home side's advantage in a sequence of events that all Chelsea fan's must surely have believed
would put the game to bed as a contest.
