Unlike other leagues, the Premier league does not break down during holiday periods. This is called Boxing Day. A tradition with a day of championship after Christmas. Several African internationals will be on deck. Who of the Touré brothers who will prevail in the City- Liverpool clash? Will Emmanuel Adebayor find the net one more time? Overview.
The first match of the day will pit Hull City to Manchester United. An opportunity to observe in Tigers, Ivorian Yannick Sagbo silent for a few days. If El Mohammady is to be undisputedly tenured in the game, his Egyptian compatriot Ahmed Gedo is thus announced on move in January.
Remained on the bench Monday during the 0-0 draw against Arsenal, Samuel Eto’o could regain a starting place this Thursday in Swansea. Senegal’s Demba Ba will just take pride in a place in the 18 as well as Ghanaian Michael Essien. At the other side, the Ivorian Wilfried Bony seems to be the main danger in the Swansea squad.
Emmanuel Adebayor to score again?
Scorer three times in his last two games, the Togolese striker of Tottenham has recovered. The announcement of the appointment of Tim Sherwood should still bring him confidence. From there to see Emmanuel Adebayor again find the back of the net Thursday, it will a good step forward. At the other side, they should pay attention to the African colony of West Bromwich Albion composed of Youssouf Mulumbu of Congo, the Beninese Stéphane Sessegnon and Nigerian Victor Anichebe.
This is the biggest match of the day. Manchester City impressive at home face league leaders Liverpool who can rely on their trigger Luis Suarez.
