Manchester City - Stoke City Premier League 21st December 2011

Manchester City will be top of the Premier League/First Division at Christmas for the fits time since 1929 after they recorded yet another victory at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City scooped all 3 points on offer in their weekend fixture when they beat Arsenal 1-0 at the Etihad stadium. A second half goal from David Silva was enough to see the Citizens maintain their lead atop the Premier League table.

Luck or no luck, statistically, the Gunners were the better side on the night, however, it was not enough to see them keep their amazing unbeaten streak.

After a rare week's rest, Arsenal travel to the Etihad stadium to take on current table-toppers Manchester City in a game which is crucial for both sides.

There are just two games on the slate today, but when those two games are as good Manchester City-Chelsea (3pm, ESPN2) and Roma-Juventus (2:30pm, Fox Soccer Channel), it makes for a special afternoon.

Manchester City will look to keep their stranglehold on the Premier League lead with a win, while Chelsea will look to hand the Citizens their first loss of the season as they try to maintain a place in the Top Four of the Premier League.

Tomorrow's encounter at the Etihad stadium will prove to be one of Manchester City's most important in its recent history, needing a win against an already-through Bayern Munich side as winners of Group A.

Manchester City captain and defender Vincent Kompany insists that the Premier League leaders are ready for Bayern Munich. The German giants can end the Citizens' Champions League hopes with any result at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow, but Kompany remains confident.

"Any team coming here is not going to be favorite, I don't care who they are," said the Belgian defender.

Premier League: Tutti all'Anfield Road Di Raffaele Cautiero La tredicesima giornata di Premier League presenta una sfida su tutte , il big-match tra Liverpool e Manchester City con i Reds di Dalglish che hanno l'opportunit di riaprire il campionato ed accorciare la classifica al cospetto dei Citizens che provengono da una bruciante e dolorosissima sconfitta di Champions League col Napoli .

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists that his team's Premier League clash against Liverpool on Sunday will be far from easy.
The Citizens have not won at Anfield since 2003 but their fantastic season so far sees them five points clear at the top of the table after winning 11 of their last 12 league games.

Liverpool employed speed merchants against Chelsea last weekend, with Johnson, Bellamy, Maxi and Suarez all starting against the Blue Champions. It turned out to be shrewd decision by Dalglish and his coaching team as the Reds pressed high up the pitch, robbing Chelsea players of time and space to move the ball.

A moment of silence and thanks for all who gave to protect the freedoms and lives of their fellow citizens. My grandfather.

Thank you....and may solace come to those who lost loved ones in the name of the country.

Surely Manchester City's Micah Richards deserved his place in the latest England squad? The defender has been in superb form for the Citizens, already chalking up five assists in City's almost flawless league campaign so far.

Mancini and his Manchester City have shown us many sides to their character this season. They are resolute in defence, even without the collossal Nigel de Jong. City have shown that they are not content to sit back on a lead. They have served up game after game of excellent attacking football, never resting but always probing.

Noel Gallagher has had a good few days watching his beloved Citizens smash United, see his solo album top the UK charts and to top it all off, receive a Q Icon award at the music magazine's awards bash in London.

Not content with all that, the cheeky chappie proceeded to rub salt into United fans' festering wound by giving them a six-fingered salute.

Sir Alex Ferguson, in retrospect, bottled it at Anfield last weekend. In contrast, Roberto Mancini decided to freshen up after the international break and Manchester City got their just reward. It is the "noisy neighbours" who are stepping onto the "prawn-sandwiched" 75,000 capacity-filled Theatre of Dreams as the Premier League leaders.

Roberto Mancini had learned from the Fulham lesson and as David Platt said, Mancini freshened up his team after the Champions League defeat at Munich. He rang in changes for the match against Blackburn and the replacements repaid his faith in them by scoring four goals against Rovers.
Mario Balotelli, Samir Nasri and Adam Johnson together with David Silva were the difference in another routine match for the Citizens.

Since the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Spanish La Liga, the Premier League was searching for a new world class player who could be as brilliant as the phenomenal Portuguese. Fernando Torres threatened briefly until he started sulking more than scoring, Didier Drogba could never be that star face as he is all brute force but Carlos Tevez could have been that world class marquee player that the Barclays Premier League needed.
