Solksjaer faces another stern test as Man United visit Arsenal in FA Cup 4th round

- Arsenal vs Man United set to renew rivalries in FA Cup fourth round game

- Both sides have recorded seven wins each in 14 meetings in the oldest Cup competition

- The Gunners hold the advantage against Premier League sides in this round of the tournament

Arsenal vs Man United at the Emirate stadium on Friday, Janaury 25, is unarguably the biggest tie of the FA Cup fourth round.

The two sides are one of the oldest rivals in English football and the last time they met in the competition was in the 2014/15 season as the Gunners ran away with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

Arsenal and Manchester United have met in the FA 14 times and both have eliminated each other seven times each, including the finals.

Caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer will have another acid test to his managerial spell with United as his side are on a perfect run since his arrival with seven wins out of seven.

On the other hand, Unai Emery's side have been a more solid team in the past week following their comfortable 2-0 victory over Premier League contenders Chelsea.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
