Reina

Arbeloa Carra Agger Insua

Kuyt Masch Alonso Aurelio

Benny

Torres

Insua has a fantastic pace , good crossing ability as we saw against blackburn and can match walcott , great contest that if he starts. Aurelio at left mid as i feel riera has been off the boil lately and aurelio must play as he's our best set piece taker now that stevie is out . If we get a early goal and shut the back door than we will get the required result

No it doesn't make him a bad keeper but it will make him nervous for the next few games he plays and against us he will be as vunerable if not more as yesterday. We need to exploit that.

i like the looks of that team, solid and we can double up on walcott on the left
but theres still enough goal threat and creativity to win the game
mascherano and alonso will be key for us tomorrow, if they can disrupt arsenals passing game then we will win

Without sounding complacent, I cant see us not winning this game. I think the team somewhat picks itself, but Id like to see Danny Agger back in the side, Skrtle needs a rest and has been poor whilst Agger is probably getting over his rustyness now, he played for Denmark in the internationals if my mind serves me correct and he had 90 minutes against Blackburn, so he should be getting up to full fitness. Come on, must win, absolute must win. 3-1 to us

Arsenal are playing well at the min hope we can win and they beat utd :laugh:

Even if Arsenals defense is sh!t, they can score a lot of goals with Fabregas, Arshavin, RvP, and Adebayour. Without Stevie G this could very well be a hard game.

Walcott has been playing well latlely too lets not forget our recent results. Banging em in for fun at the min, not like united scrape a win with a late deflection :angry:

That foolish kid claims its to be a deft touch

A very tricky game at a crucial period of our title chase. We are "WE" when odds are against us. I would say 3-2 us. but would be a great game, a cracker of a match

Would luv to see this one...unfortunately my neighbour's dodgy box is now scrambled so won't get to see it live....is it on the radio, BBC5 Live ?

Lets hope we do Arsenal and crank up the pressure on Mr. Ferguson. I see he has thrown Fat Sam a Banana and the muppet has duley oblidged.

I can't remember Stevie having a great game vs arsenal for a while now tbh tho.

So maybe its a blessing of course if he was fit he would be in my team.

Lets hope he is at least on the bench and 90% fit just in case we need him.

There is no doubt in my mind at all they will go for it, its a warm up game for the CL semi and I wouldnt be surprised if Wenger will try some tactical changes and moves on us as a direct test as to whether they will work on Utd.

If Gerrard isn't playing will Rafa go for 4-4-2 like he did against Chelsea the other day?

id start with the same formation as Chelsea except Agger for Skrtel. Babel on the right and Kuyt/Yossi up front with Torres.

It has been claimed that we are a cup team. I hope so, because this is now a cup run. One defeat and we are out of the league challenge.

We need to survive, game to game, no planning ahead...just our best 11 at all times, and go for it from the first whistle to the last.

If we win this, SAF will $hit himself over our relentless pursuit of Manure, and it is great that they play 24 hours later, albeit only against Pompey at home... but you never know.

Arsenal are dangerous for sure, but so are we. No team is playing better than us at the moment, and we can't stop scoring.

I'd start with

reina

arbeloa carra agger insua

benny alonso masch aurelio

kuyt torres

then have reira, babel and eggnog to bring on as attacking options if we need them.

A win is the only result we can be happy with, and then hope Crouch does us a favour on Wednesday night.
