| Olivier Giroud celebrating after scoring a goal against Fulham |
The English Premiere League will feature this week a mouth watering match up between exciting teams Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur on September 1, 2013. Both teams still sport a clean slate. Arsenal is coming off a win against Fulham 3-1 while the Spurs scored back to back wins over Crystal Palace and Swansea with identical 1-0 scorecard.
Both teams are in the middle of some trade talks. Arsenal is still chasing some big signings while the football world is still waiting with a bated breath on the fate of Tottenham star midfielder Gareth Bale who is linked to an enormous million dollar transfer deal with the Spanish giant, Real Madrid. Tottenham is now at the 4th spot while Arsenal is still down at the bottom half of the standings at 12th place. But that distinction will not matter much when the two teams collide.
It is interesting how the match ups would fare. Tottenham has signed up former Valencia striker Roberto Soldado to add a threat to the frontline. Soldado is not the only notable signings for Tottenham this year. The Spurs also cornered Steaua Bucharest Vlad Chirches and former Roma forward Erik Lamela, who scored 19 goals out of 62 appearances in the 2012-2013 season.
Arsenal for its part, acquired Mathieu Flamini, a midfielder from AC Milan. Flamini however is a returnee as he started his professional career at the Emirates back in 2004 before he signed up for Milan in 2008. Arsenal's other signing is Yaya Sanogo, a striker from French club Auxerre.
Expect fans will be treated with a rewarding football game with this match up.
