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.

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...

4 Reasons Why Kylian Mbappe must join Liverpool rather than Real Madrid

For most players, Real Madrid and Barcelona are dream clubs to play for but they're also a lot of negatives that must be taken into account before making the move.  A typical example is Eden Hazard who is arguably the greatest player in Chelsea history and one of the best players in Premier League history. It was a very bad decision to switch from Chelsea to Real Madrid and the player has clearly admitted. Hazard retired at the age of 32.  Kylian Mbappe is without doubt a super player but, he needs to understand that Liverpool offers him a better chance to reach his full potential than Real Madrid and here are the reasons why: A. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and Liverpool is the best place for him - Apart from Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, most people don't even bother watching other Spanish teams in the La Liga except their competing in the Champions League, Europa League or the Conference League. Kylian Mbappe needs to join Liverpool a te...

One trick pony: How Manchester City star Erling Haaland can be stopped

When it comes to consistency of goals scored, no other striker delivers like Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. The Norwegian's an extraordinary player, a poacher of goals that should be the model for future strikers.  The Norwegian star is currently the quickest player in Premier League history to score 50 league goals, shattering Andrew Cole's previous record by 17 games after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.  His conversion rate is bone chilling and definitely worrisome for opposition coaches who always seems confused on what must be done to stop Haaland. Stopping the 23-year-old is hard but possible.  Fact; Haaland do not score goals outside the 18-yard box. Since joining Manchester City from Borrusia Dortmund, Haaland has only managed to shoot 10 times outside the box and scored just once.  Why? He is an instinctive goal poacher whose short burst opens up space for him to shoot accurately to goal. His biggest strength...
