The 20 - year - old has really exploded into life this season and has an impressive five goals in his last seven games for Milan, including a winner
in the derby match against Inter Milan.
The Magpie would be staring down a big hole if they end losing this one and the recent head to head form
in their derby matches against Sunderland is all with the Black Cats, who beat them 3 - 0 earlier in the season.
Not exact matches
From an early age, my Dad had subtlety told me
in no uncertain terms that Arsenal were to be my team, and that if we were to win only two
matches in a season, then the
derby games
against our north London friends were the ones to win.
All three of our away games
in Europe are to be played on Tuesday, leaving plenty of time for the team to recover before the next league
match and although one of those
matches is the north London
derby it is at the Emirates stadium and is going to be played on the Sunday, so the European game should not affect our chances, especially as it is
against Lodogorets, the weakest team
in the group.
They sit fourth
in Liga MX with seven points from their last three
matches, and they're coming off a big win
in another
derby against Atlas.
If Arsenal Fans can be united to fight
against Spurs fans during a
derby match, risking police arrests, injuries or possible jail terms, why didn't we get united and tell our manager who has been living
in the past to quietly step down?
It's still one game at a time, but for me losing
against Chelsea at home outlines the following performances
in the
derby matches, so I waved good bye to the title already.
Just as the Arsenal and Wales international star finds his scoring touch again with that incredible backheel finish
against Tottenham
in the north London
derby, Aaron Ramsey lasts just 16 minutes of his next
match and is back
in the treatment room.
Unfortunately, it's
against one of our biggest bitterest rivals
in the EPL and London, Chelsea — and yes, they are cruising into the
derby from their latest
matches, while we are barely pulling through.
The 19 - year - old broke into the Reds starting XI after returning from a loan spell at Championship outfit
Derby County during the second half of last season and turned
in a man - of - the -
match performance
in the Merseyside
derby against Everton at Goodison Park last January.
This is probably one of the most even -
matched derbies for a while on current form, with Arsenal only losing two games
in the League so far, but Tottenham bettering that with just the one defeat
in their opening game
against Man United.
United won both
matches; 4 - 2 at Vicarage Road and 3 - 1 at the Emirates as United looked to confirm their place
in the UEFA Champions League
against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday evening, five days before the first Manchester
derby of the season.
Goals either side of half - time from Kyle Bartley and Pablo Hernandez were enough for Leeds to claim a 2 - 1 Yorkshire
derby victory
in our last
match at Elland Road
against Barnsley.
Leeds United, after climbing on top of the table and doing so with style and grace, came falling back to earth the last two
matches in the Championship, losing on the road to Cardiff City and then
in a Yorkshire
derby against Sheffield Wednesday.
With Shatov almost certainly ruled out, Dmitry Poloz will relish the chance to record a third goal
in as many
matches, after notching
against Dynamo St. Petersburg
in last mid-week's cup
derby alongside Zenit's weekend win
in Krasnodar.
Since that
match in 1993, a lot has changed between both sides and there have been other memorable
derby ties as well as
matches that have sickened us as United fans with results and performances going
against us.
Inter were looking to win this one comfortably with one eye on the
derby midweek whilst some would say Hellas had both eyes glued to next week
against Benevento with their manager, Fabio Pecchia saying
in the build - up to this one and I paraphrase — «This
match is not so important for Inter, the
match next week
against Benevento is a game we must not lose».
