For soccer fans in the United States today, there’s a triple header of games starting with Tottenham against Newcastle, followed by Sunderland vs Manchester City and then, last but not least, Manchester United versus Arsenal. And there’s also Swansea City against Stoke for the die-hards like me.
In team news for Arsenal, Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky were sent home due to sickness, so Thomas Vermaelen starts for the Gunners, while Mathieu Flamini returns to the starting eleven. Mikel Arteta and Serge Gnabry are also ill, but are included on the bench.
