1 Reply

1) After a rough month or so, Arsenal have won their last 3 games, scoring 3 goals in every single game.

2) The return of Ramsey and Ozil has been like two new signings. The freshness of both is clear to all and they have taken us up a level.

3% you’re having a laugh. If you are fed up with unjustified ticket price rises, read here for details about today’s protest.

4) Arsenal have scored in all 15 previous Premier League games against WBA.

5) With the 4th place trophy now in the bag, we will play relaxed and with freedom.

6) Despite the league campaign being over, there are FA Cup places to play for. The intensity will still be there.

7) In recent history, Arsenal’s results against WBA read: P 19 W 14 D 3 L 2

8) WBA’s top scorer has 5 league goals. Arsenal have 5 players who have scored 5 or more.

9) WBA have kept just 7 clean sheets this season, against Arsenal’s 15.

10) Aston Villa on the opening day of the season seems a long time ago. That was the last time we lost at home in the league.

Likely Starting 11: Chesney, Jenskinon, BFG, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Ramsey, Ozil, Rosicky, Giroud, Podolski

10 Reasons why we will beat WBA + Starting XI

1.. Sagna is out, so Jenkinson will be Right Back. Which will mean some fresh legs in the defence, never a bad thing.

2.. The rest of our defenders are full fit, I’d expect Gibbs, Mertesacker and Koscieiny to start the game with Vermaelen and Monreal sitting on the bench.

3.. Flamini – Got to be the first name on the team sheet when Wenger is thinking about the centre mid 3. Organisation, professionalism, Fitness, Pace, reading of the game, tracking back, covering and sticking the boot in are all things he has and Diaby hasn’t.

4.. Ozil – Now there’s a way to open your goal account at a club and then there’s how Ozil did it. Pure class.

5.. Ramsey – This kid just keeps on growing, Jack should really learn from how he handles himself on and off the pitch.

6.. Arteta – We are in the blessed position right now that he doesn’t have to be rushed back from his injury layoff. Expect to see him on an experienced bench for us, which makes a good change.

7.. Rosicky – Fit, well as fit as he’s ever likely to be and until Santi or Podolski are back fit by far the best option we have on the left side of the attacking 3

8.. Giroud – every limp, every tackle, everytime he goes down i feel a pain in stomach, this is the only position we have no credible cover for. He is looking sharper, fitter, holding play up better, his positioning has improved and most importantly he is putting the ball in the net.

9.. WBA – Currently sitting 10th, won 2 drawn 2 lost 2, scoring 6 conceding 5. Yes they had a good day last weekend at a struggling Salford club but we should have miles too much for them.

10.. Wenger knows – Get this game out the way and the next game isn’t till the 19th October, when we should have a fully fit Arteta and fingers crossed Carzorla back and that’s when the real destruction of teams should commence.

Likely starting XI – Chesney, Jenks, Per, Kos, Gibbs, Flamini, Ramsey, Rosicky, Gnarby, Ozil, Giroud
