Gareth Barry Counts On UEFA Europa League And Premiership Contenders Manchester City
Gareth Barry powered Manchester City to a historic 3-0 victory over giants Liverpool on Monday. The 29-year-old displayed a brilliant performance and broke the deadlock for the Sky Blues as the team accomplished their mission of bouncing back from their hard-fought 0-0 draw against Tottenham on match-day one.
Hopes fly higher than ever in the blue sky of Manchester following the club’s heavy spending on the market and following the players’ great reaction against Liverpool. Manchester City also haven’t conceded so far – letting statistics look quite positive at the moment. Coach Roberto Mancini made it clear that the players had to show the perfect attitude of brave warriors if they seriously want to transform City into a successful club. The 3-0 triumph against the Merseyside Reds could be a sign of much better things to come.

Rooney, along with Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, is considered one of the elite players in the world. Prior to this year, however, Rooney was not even the best player on his own team, having played five years beside Ronaldo (the 2008 FIFA World Player of the Year). With Ronaldo's high profile transfer to Real Madrid last summer, as well as Carlos Tevez‘s departure to Manchester City, many United fans came into the 2009-10 season asking themselves 'where are the goals going to come from?'.
Liverpool v Hull City English Premiership Match Preview
A dramatic and well deserved victory against West Ham last week moved Liverpool onto third in the league standings. Rafael Benitez’s side are three points off Manchester United in second and six points off the leaders Chelsea.

Anyway, before every match day, Rafael Benitez eyes nothing else but a victory.
Last season, the Reds were inches away from claiming the English Premier League trophy for the first time since almost two decades. However, dropped points against lower teams especially cost them a lot.
Stoke City v Manchester United Premiership Match Preview

The corresponding fixture last year saw the Red Devils – dressed in blue on that day – edge past Stoke City by a single goal to nil. Manchester United were subject to pressure and anxiety for over eighty minutes until Carlos Tevez, who is now at City, clinched the winning goal.
There could be more of the same on Saturday at the Britannia Stadium. How exciting the match promises to be!
Stoke City were moments away from holding on to Chelsea’s unbreakable might two weeks ago.
