Sunday's Fixtures

Sunday's Fixtures...... Stoke City v Arsenal - Prediction Arsenal 2 - 1 Stoke City Liverpool v Manchester City *Pitch-360 Game of the Week* Liverpool - The Red's will look to defy the odds tomorrow.  With a young team, Brendon Rogers will hope Steven Gerrard will lead them to glory and a top 4 finish.  Look for Suarez to a massive piece of the puzzle going forward. Manchester City - It has been a quiet summer for City.  Adding Jack Rodwell from Everton will add more depth to the already stacked midfield.  David Silva, last years standout player, will once again be poised to guide City to the title.  This should be a great match. Player to Watch - Joe Allen (Liverpool summer signee has large shoes to fill) Prediction - Manchester City 3 - 1 Liverpool

RVP

RVP looks set to sign with Manchester United.  After losing the race to sign Lucas Moura, all eyes are fixed on signing the Arsenal front man.   After more comments from Roberto Mancini as well as Wayne Rooney , the Dutchman is poised to make the move this weekend or early next week.  My sources also have informed me that Lucas Moura had agreed to a transfer fee only to be hijacked by big spending PSG.  Hopefully, as a United fan, RVP will be signed by the start of next week Would be a fantastic addition to United
