Wenger says the Gunners will rotate a little for this game, but Arshavin should keep his place given he is cup-tied for the Champions League clash.

But Dutch striker Robin van Persie is definitely out for both this game and the United clash as he continues to nurse a groin problem.

On a more positive note, Wenger is set to welcome Manuel Almunia, Johan Djourou and Emmanuel Adebayor back into his first-team squad.

Almunia (ankle) and Djourou (knee) have both been in full training this week, while Adebayor should come back into training on Saturday following a hamstring complaint.

Haven't beaten them in a long while, hope we stuff them and get confidence high for Wednesday....
If we do win today, we'll need just three points from our final four games to seal a top four place....though I'm still dreaming of snatching second place :hiding:

I was just about to post that!

Not too impressed to be honest, I don't like seeing Bendtner starting, I much prefer to see him come off the bench, he's an impact player.

The back looks a bit better, I like seeing Eboue back there, Gibbs has been decent, Toure is solid, Silvestre should be ok among these.

Good to see Theo starting, but I'm not too sure about Denilson after Liverpoo.

Good bench too.

We should have this game! I see boro want to force Aliadiere and King to do dirty up front... As they are pretty quick! This will test Silvestre if he's to play on Wednesday.

It's nice to see Theo has his 100th Appearance under his little belt and so quick it's gone by too.

We need song on for Denilson to seal up Boro as they do NOT need the points.

Lovely cross into the box from Cesc, bendy too slow to get onto the end of it & in fairness crowded out a bit.

Not a lot of Arsenal pace about it at the moment.

In fact it's almost like a friendly......

Unbelievable timing on that tackle, Walcott was about to pull the trigger.

Could/should have been 1-0 Arsenal.
