The African Cup of Nations is just a couple of weeks away and Tottenham striker Emmanuel
Adebayor is already predicting a tough title challenge for Manchester City.
The Citizens are set to lose their most influential player of the season so far-Yaya Toure. Yaya
who was also named as the African player of the Year 2011 has been in scintillating form for City
helping them to a first place finish in the league for the first time in 82 years since Christmas
1929.
So here we go with the madness that happens every year around the Christmas and New Year period
with games coming thick and fast. After a good point at White Hart Lane, Chelsea have a chance to
grab six points in the next few days against Villa on Saturday and Fulham today.
This afternoon is our second London derby in the space of four days and will be just as difficult
as Spurs was.
In form Tottenham Hotspurs striker, Emmanuel Adebayor, who arrived in a loan deal from
Manchester City apparently believes that his team might find a patch to catch up with City this

Carroll left for better pastures with Liverpool, everyone predicted the end of the road for
Newcastle. Alan Pardew had his detractors and now he is actually being considered to be Capello's

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has announced that former Gunners legend Thierry Henry has
re-joined the club on a two month loan deal from MLS side New York Red Bulls.
It comes as no surprise in football circles that the Frenchman has returned to his spiritual
