Michael Owen is tipping Manchester City to return to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Arsenal at The Etihad on Saturday night.

Pep Guardiola’s side have made a slow start to the 2020-21 Premier League season to heap pressure on the Spanish head coach.

The Citizens lost 5-2 to Leicester City at The Etihad in their last home fixture before Manchester City drew 1-1 with Leeds United before the international break.
Manchester City have only earned four points from three games to leave Guardiola’s side five points adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal.
The Gunners have made an impressive start to the campaign in Mikel Arteta’s first full season in charge of the north London side.
Arsenal have beaten Fulham, West Ham and Sheffield United, with the only blotch on their record a 3-1 loss to defending Premier League champions Liverpool FC.
Former Liverpool FC striker Owen is backing Manchester City to lay down a marker in the title race after an unconvincing start with a 3-1 win against Arsenal.
“The glamour fixture on Sunday is at the Etihad,” Owen told BetVictor.
“Arsenal make the visit to Manchester with their tails up. It’s been a pretty solid start from the Gunners, and they will go here with high hopes of taking something.
“City simply need to pick up, and back on home soil I can see Pep rallying his troops to claim the points.”
Arsenal were 2-0 winners against Manchester City in their most recent meeting in the FA Cup semi-finals last season when Arteta’s men pulled off an upset thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners have lost their last four Premier League games against Guardiola’s side, conceding 14 goals in the process.
Arsenal signed Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey, Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes, Chelsea FC winger Willian, Dijon goalkeeper Alex Runarsson in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners completed permanent deals for Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari.
Manchester City, on the other hand, signed Valencia winger Ferran Torres, Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake and Benfica centre-half Ruben Dias.

The Special One: Jose Mourinho Now Holds The Same Record In England And Italy After Roma Run
~1.2 mins read
Jose Mourinho is unbeaten in last 42 home matches in the Serie A, setting a new record, meaning he now holds the longest unbeaten home runs in the Serie A and in the Premier League. 
Following AS Roma’s 3-1 victory over Fiorentina in the Serie A opener on Sunday, August 22, Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho has now set two staggering records, ESPN reports. 

The ‘Special One’ saw his side put up a commanding challenge at the Stadio Olimpico following a brace by Jordan Veretout and a clinical strike by Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The win sees Mourinho record his 50th victory in the Italian topflight with fewer games (77) breaking a long-standing record since the 1994/95 season.

The Special One’s streak beats Massimiliano Allegri’s two-year unbeaten run during his first spell at Juventus, from September 2015 to September 2017. Mourinho holds the same record in the Premier League having not lost in 78 games on home soil at Chelsea between 2004 and 2007, where he delivered back-to-back league titles .

The former Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United boss went 150 home league games unbeaten with four different clubs (Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid) between 2002 and 2011.
NOTE: You might criticize him for his action and mode of speaking but when it comes to records breaker he is the best and he is one of the best manager in the world. He is one of a kind that won trophy at any club he manage. But the only team Mourinho manage and won no trophy at is tottenham.

10 Habits That Would Help You Keep Fit Forever
~7.6 mins read


Maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn’t easy. It’s not something you figure out once and forget about. It requires an immense amount of discipline, adaptability, and patience, spread over years and years of everyday life. As you get older, maintaining your level of health and fitness gets trickier.

Things will change with time, so be ready to adapt. These 10 habits will give you a baseline, and hopefully keep you fit forever.

1. Stick to a solid sleeping schedule

Don’t underestimate the importance of getting a good night’s rest. Sleep is when your body recovers — whether it’s from exercise, stress, or something else entirely. Getting a solid amount of sleep every night has been linked to higher productivity, increased ability in the gym, and higher levels of mental activity. In short, sleep is important.

2. Follow an easy morning routine
Your morning routine can have a huge impact on your health.

The morning — or whenever you wake up — may be the most important part of your day. That’s why you need to develop a routine, keep it, and use it as a springboard to set you off for another round of victories, says Mark’s Daily Apple.

A morning routine can be simple — shower, eat a healthy breakfast, make your bed, and you’re off. Maybe mix in some meditation.

3. Drop the sugar

Sugar is linked to all kinds of negative outcomes. Your best bet is to kick the habit now and never look back. Start drinking your coffee black, your tea without any sweetener, and opt for a piece of fruit instead of having a bowl of ice cream or reaching for a Snickers.

4. Concentrate on your diet

Many of us struggle to control our diet, but one easy way to do so is to concentrate on the things we eat. That is, centralize your diet around a select group of foods, and only occasionally stray from your plan. U.S. News & World Report suggests constructing a diet that’s vegetable-based â€” not necessarily vegetarian or vegan, but heavy on the greens — and not so dependent on meats, breads, and fats.

5. Cook more often

Ever wonder why it’s so hard to stick to a diet when you’re eating out or relying on packaged foods to get you through the day? It’s because you aren’t in control of what goes into your food. The best way to combat this healthy eating barrier is to prepare as many of your own meals as possible. According to the journal Public Health Nutrition, eating more home-cooked meals increases your likelihood of a higher-quality diet. You might even lose weight. The only “additives” in meals you prepare are the ones you add yourself.

6. Find ways to relieve stress

You’re going to need to find a way to decompress, or blow off some steam. Some like to go to the shooting range or play pickup basketball or soccer. A great habit to get into is weight lifting or running to relieve stress. Other fantastic, stress-relieving habits to pick up are meditation and yoga.

7. Sit less, move more
Moving around throughout the day is good for your health.

If your job involves sitting for 90% of your workday, you could be damaging your health without even knowing it. According to Mayo Clinic, sitting too much increases your risk for a number of conditions, especially heart disease. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes every day, spending the next eight hours or more just sitting at a desk mean those 30 minutes of fitness almost don’t count.

Ideally, you should get up and walk a few hundred steps at least every hour (it only takes a few minutes!).

8. Drink more water
Dehydration can cause headaches and fatigue.

Not drinking enough water can lead to mental and physical fatigue. Research also suggests drinking more water throughout the day can help you lose weight. Many people often confuse hunger and thirst, and end up eating more than they need to because they reach for food instead of a glass of water.

 9. Spend time outdoors
Spending time outdoors is good for you.




Going outside is better for your overall health than you thought. Rodale’s Organic Life notes spending time outdoors can help improve your concentration, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase your vitamin D intake. A little fresh air, even for 15 minutes, can have a huge impact on your mood and pull you away from the stress and noise of the cramped indoors.

10. Learn to love exercise

Make exercise a habit for lifelong fitness.

In the long run, you’ll set yourself up for success. Just teach yourself to view exercise and the rest of these habits as simple parts of your day; something you enjoy rather than a chore to be completed.
