It's a tricky one isn't it. We need the points for 4th spot but have to rest players for the midweek game. In an ideal world, we'd be secure enough to put out a 2nd/3rd XI but we're going to need a bit of backbone and experience up there. There's no way Cesc should play and I'd give Theo a seat on the bench for he first hour or so. Up front, do we risk Mr Moneybags and Eduardo who have both had injuries? I reckon we might see Ramsey, Vela and Bendtner from the start.

What does he have to do to be liked here :? At least he is starting to pay back some of that money.
I think we will play a full strength side as the race for 4th is still well alive. We still have to play the top 3 (only 1 of which is at home) whereas villa do not. We cant afford to put an even more inexperienced side out.
We may see eboue start instead of theo. Djourou for Gallas, ,maybe eddie or van persie if theyre fit.
1-0 to the arsenal :barscarf:

Calling him Mr. Moneybags hardly slags him off. I think he scored an absolute beauty tonight and deserves all the praise he gets for it. The fact remains though, he has lots of money and I say it in jest, no offence meant.

Rest Cesc,Theo and Greedy and bring in AA,Bendtner and RVP.

Fabianski will probably play in the next 3 games,We will now find out if he is up to it.A CL QF and a FA cup semi is a big test for him

I'm slightly concerned about this game. With so many 'high profile' fixtures this month, I fear minds may be else where (I know people will say that this is high profile due to our ongoing league battle with Villa but you know what I mean.) I reckon draw or worse still, our unbeaten league run might come to an end. :cry:
