Villa Park ...

An Arsenal team high on confidence and back to their fluent best take on a Villa side that have been banging in the goals for fun themselves.Both sides are suspect at the back and hence there are bound to be goals in the game. Gilberto has done a groin and will not figure against Villa or against the Red Devils. Van persie has recovered from the knock he picked up against Doncaster and is raring to go. The Arsenal captain believes that the team is back to their best and are on track. The gaffer has said that the year has been satisfactory but he would like to better next year. He also talks about the kind of players he will be looking for in the jan window especially with toure an eboue on cup of nations duty, he will have to look for back-up.
Coming to the game,Arsenal should win this but Cesc and Flamini will not be allowed to rest by an in from Davis who also comes up with the odd goal every now and then. If the battle in the mid-field is won then the game is ours for the taking.Baros and Moore will also create chances but i am hoping that our back 4 can contain them.I wont be surprised if Cygan is attacked on the flank and crosses are whipped in. Ridgewell and co. will be put under immense pressure .
This game is not only important because of the 3points but also because of the next game coming up..Manu wont have it easy against Bolton and will be made to sweat.Any momentum gained by the gunners can be taken to the Manu game.
