Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Arsenal and Manchester City. The first-division clash scheduled for 7:45 a.m. ET will be held at Emirates Stadium in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports Network.
Returning from international duty with Costa Rica, Arsenal's Joel Campbell had this to offer to Arsenal Player ahead of today's league encounter (via ESPN UK): "Arsene Wenger has many good options to line up a great attacking force. I presume that every attacking player in the squad will fight with me for a starting place. I am my biggest competitor. I have to train hard and get better day after day. Being here is a great opportunity for me. I feel that I can contribute with speed, goals and dribbling skills."
"I am a player capable of playing either on the right or left flanks or in the middle," he added. "It's down to the manager to decide which of those three positions I am needed most in. I just have to do my best anywhere I play."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Manchester City's David Silva has been instrumental in the club's early season success. In three appearances, the 28-year-old has one goal and an average of 1.7 key passes per match.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Szczesny; Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Debuchy; Arteta; Cazorla, Ozil, Wilshere, Sanchez; Welbeck
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hart; Kolarov, Kompany, Demichelis, Sagna; Silva, Fernandinho, Toure, Nasri; Aguero, Dzeko
