Our run at the San Siro set to continue

Well, that's the beauty of the Champions League, isn't it? Isn't it, people of Manchester?

We've drawn Italian giants AC Milan in the next round. Could of been easier, but also could of been harder. Two fantastic ties await and I for one am excited. The San Siro is a marvelous stadium, and the players should thrive on playing there. We also get a memorable European night at the Emirates Stadium, adding to it's new history.

Our last two games at the San Siro have been very memorable. a 5-1 win against AC rivals Inter, a game where Thierry Henry ran riot, and a 2-0 win over AC a few seasons back where I truly developed a love for Cesc Fabregas. You compete in the Champions League to play in these games. Every team who is left in the competition aren't here by luck, they've deserved it over the 6 games.

What we've got is another test for our team. Travelling to Milan will be brilliant, and I'm really confident of winning the tie. They have Robinho, who never really cut it at Madrid or Man City, Zlatan Ibrahimovic who has never really done it on the big stage and ageing players such as Gattuso. The two players I'd look out for are Alex Pato and Kevin Prince-Boateng. Good players, but not high level quality you'd have to admit.

Will be very jealous of the gooners who get to travel to the game, Milan truly is a brilliant city.

Back to things domestic...

We face a second test of the season, travelling to the Eastlands to face Man City. I feel we are playing this game at a perfect time. A combination of a Man City rocky patch, and our increase in form has raised expectations a little. After the Manc derby, I really feared playing this game. Since then, we've looked better with each passing game, and more than capable of winning this game.

I'd expect the same team that faced Everton, with the back four staying the same. They are going to have to be at their best, as we all know how good Man City are attacking wise. One change I could see happening is Yossi Benayoun replacing Gervinho, just to solidify the team up a little and won't leave us to open to attack. Bringing Gervinho on in the last 20 minutes could also prove to be a masterstroke.

Looking at the TV schedule and it seems Sky have finally got it right. A Super Sunday; QPR vs Man Utd, Aston Villa vs Liverpool and the main event, Man City vs Arsenal.

Bring it on. Enjoy your weekend.
