Ronaldo, Adebayor are Advanced

Both United and Arsenal are continuing to steamroll all opposition in both the EPL and the FA Cup. Arsenal defeated Newcastle for the second time in three days (both games won by an impressive 3-0 margin) and today a Ronaldo fueled United defeated Portsmouth.

There is no other way to put it, Cristiano Ronaldo is playing evolved soccer. Today, he netted the matches' two goals and has now scored 27 goals in 24 starts with the Red Devils. And with 19 of those goals coming in the Premier League, he has now passed Arsenal's red hot Emmanuel Adebayor to lead the EPL in goals scored. Love him or hate him, there is no denying that is a pretty impressive statistic for a winger to hold.


Arsenal is looking just as threatening. Their rapid-fire midfield conducted by Cesc and Helb is proving to be unstoppable. Having such an impressive force to provide service to the long strides of Emmanuel Adebayor is ideal. And with Adebayor playing the best football of his life its hard to deny that he looks like the best striker in the EPL.
In what is quickly becoming one of the most anticipated matches this year, Arsenal drew United for the Round of 16 in the FA cup. The title race is as close as ever and both sides will be looking to continue their EPL success in the FA Cup.
