Arsenal has been forewarned by Erik ten Hag that Manchester United will win them whether or not Casemiro, their talisman from Brazil, is present.

Casemiro had his fifth yellow of the year card against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, which prevents him from traveling to Arsenal on Sunday.

Since joining Manchester United from Real Madrid in the summer, the Brazilian is regarded as the team’s best player.

Wednesday’s match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park ended in a 1-1 tie. The bad news is that Casemiro received a yellow card with 10 minutes remaining for a high lunge on Wilfried Zaha.

Bruno Fernandes gave Manchester the lead in the first half, but Patrick Vieira’s team rallied back and earned themselves a point with a free kick from Michael Olise in the second.

“It was instinctive, he went for the ball, missed it, and it was a dangerous situation.

“He wanted to stop it and that was his reaction, quite clear,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports.
”
“Last time we beat Arsenal without Casemiro, now this time, we have to do the same.

With a victory at the Emirates Stadium, the Red Devils will increase their likelihood of challenging for the league crown this season.

In the Premier League standings, the Gunners sit eight points in front of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Tuesday said that the 2023 general election is an election for the young people in Nigeria.

Yakubu said this at Chatham House, London while addressing the global audience.

In his address, Yakubu gave a breakdown of voter registration and collection of Permanent Voter Cards in Nigeria, stressing that records on the ground showed that the election would be dominated by the Nigerian youth.

The INEC boss, who said he was encouraged by the turn-out of registered voters to collect their PVCs, said over 600,000 eligible voters collected their PVCs in Lagos alone within the last month.

He noted that there are currently 93.4 million registered voters in Nigeria out of which 37 million, that is 39 percent, are young people between the ages of 18 and 34.

Yakubu said, “And then they’re closely followed by 33.4 million or 35.3 percent middle-aged voters between the ages of 35 and 49.

“Put together, these two categories constitute 75.39 percent of registered voters in Nigeria. So, actually, the 2023 election is the election of the young people, because they have the numbers. Even the majority of the PVCs collected are collected by young people.

“So, out of the 93.4 million, 70.4 million registered voters are between the ages of 18 and 49.”

The INEC boss reminded the audience that the collection of the PVCs would end on January 29, adding that “we have to end it because before the election we will publish a number of PVCs collected on polling unit by polling unit basis nationwide.”
