the goal finding the net 5 times in 6 games and has been instrumental in vital
comeback performances this past month.Van Persie was overjoyed on being awarded
the best player award and went on to say, ”It was a big month for us.You have

those periods”.

Rooney ruled out, Nani,Anderson fit for encounter
 |
| He returns |
Injuries have been plaguing Sir Alex
Ferguson’s side for the past few weeks but fate seems to have smiled on
Manchester United as Nani and Anderson, having missed 14 games and 8 games
respectively due to injuries, have been declared match fit ahead of the
highly-anticipated encounter.
“Nani is back training and Anderson has been back
for 10 days.They will be in the squad”, said Alex Ferguson in the media
conference. He,however, played down Wayne Rooney’s inclusion in the team squad
for the Liverpool game. ”Wayne is still out.He would start training today.He is
not far away and should be available for the FA Cup replay against West Ham on
Wednesday”, he added.
Hart aiming for gold at the Emirates
 |
| Hart aiming at 3 points |
It
has been 37 years since Manchester City last beat Arsenal away from home and
Manchester City shot-stopper Joe Hart has hardly any reason to believe that
this statistic might be a worrying factor. He has played down any sense of
inferiority in the Manchester City camp.
”These records are made to be broken.We
feel strongly that we can turn up anywhere and win”, he said. The 25-year old
English international’s side has gone 7 points behind city rivals Manchester
United who face Liverpool in an earlier encounter. and another loss would widen
the margin and most likely put the title chase out of City’s reach.
