Can Arsenal or Liverpool stop Manchester City from winning a 4th consecutive Premier League title?

6 wins in a row, Manchester City are bulldozing their way to a fourth consecutive Premier League title with grit and style. The club might be struggling with injuries and fatigue after playing over 63 matches last season with little or no time to rest but on current form, City is just too good.  

Against Nottingham Forrest, City dictated the tempo of the game; pressed incessantly to win the ball back, carved out openings to shoot and then scored with aplomb. 

Even with a man down, City outclassed and outmaneuvered Forrest which should be a cause of concern for Premier League hopefuls- Arsenal and Liverpool. 

Arsenal came close to winning the Premier League title last season, but lacked the leadership and cohesion needed to nick the title from City. Liverpool meanwhile have stopped City once and twice lost out with just a point. 

Realistically, both teams have what it takes to rival City for the title, but it won't be easy knowing there's a certain striker who loves to bang in the goals for fun.

Erling Haaland's goalscoring prowess was vital in Manchester City winning a third consecutive Premier League title and their first ever Champions League trophy. Stopping him is key. 

This season, the striker has scored eight Premier League goals in 6 matches. His goal scoring streak is unbelievable and scary. 

If Liverpool and Arsenal are to have a chance of winning the league title, Premier League defenders must have an antidote to stop him first and the rest of City team. It won't be easy but it's possible.

3 reasons why Xabi Alonso should join Liverpool and not Bayern Munich

After spending just eighteen months at Bayern Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is an excellent manager who can assemble a top-tier squad on a shoestring. Leverkusen are close to becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to win the title without losing a single match.  To put it plainly, Alonso had to develop a world class team capable of preventing Bayern Munich from setting a record with 13 straight league titles. Disrupting the balance has alerted Europe's biggest clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich who are now want him.  With Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel expected to leave Liverpool and Bayern Munich respectively, Xabi Alonso have now become the ideal manager to replace one of them.  Alonso will likely be leaving Bayern Munich and he carefully analyzed both clubs and decide for himself which of the two can really give the time, resources, club and fan support.  Here are the 3 reasons why he should choose Liverpool: ...

Ending poverty: 5 excellent ways the federal government can end poverty in Nigeria

Everywhere you go around the world they're people who are impoverished, broke, dependent on the state and in some pathetic state, neglected by the state for one reason or the other.  Some countries have drastically reduced poverty by ensuring the needs of the people are meant by investing in both capital and human resources while other countries have struggled badly to achieve similar state despite investing in trillions.  Nigeria falls into the second category; despite spending trillions of naira on both capital and human resourcs, 75% of its citizens still live in extreme poverty. What steps must the government take thereafter to eradicate or significantly reduce poverty. Surprising right, but they're much deeper reasons why Nigeria is a failed state and what must be done to combat poverty.  1. The federal government must empower ambitious Nigerian and stop over bloating the ministry with incompetent staffs- People who are ready to be self-sufficient, create industries...

A Better Nigeria: What the Government must do to end food crises

What is wrong with Nigeria and its people? A sane question most people have asked for decades but little have figured out the problems. Those who have the amicable solution and well placed in positions to truly effect change are either been rigged out, threatened or even killed.   Tragic you would say, but there's more to the complex web of Nigeria's challenges and food crises is one of them which the incumbent president must deal with immediately.  Before taking over the mantle of leadership, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made a series of promises and swiftly took action by removing fuel subsidy in his first day in office. Taking that action was bold and cold because no alternative was given.  The effect was an immediate increase in fuel which resulted in an increase in the cost of transportation of both perishable and imperishable goods. Businesses which where reliant on generators for power packed up while well established businesses were forced to retrench workers or pa...
