Injuries: Wilshere, Santos, Diaby, Mannone, Fabianski, Jenkinson, Sagna, Djourou Suspended: Song Gibbs expected to be back for this match or the next, thankfully. -------------------Szczesny------------------ --Koscielny--Mertesacker--Vermaelen--Miquel-- -------------Frimpong----Arteta-------------- -Walcott-----------Ramsey----------Gervinho- -------------------v.Persie------------------- Subs: Almunia, Gibbs, Coquelin, Rosicky, Benayoun, Chamberlain, Park Only possible changes are Gibbs for Miquel if fit, and maybe Coquelin for Frimpong. Arshavin and Chamakh need to be thrown off of the bench after their dreadful sub appearances, bringing in Chambo and Park. Prediction: Aston Villa 1 - 3 Arsenal v. Persie x2 Ramsey
Yeh that would be my team as well, i really want to know why wenger isn't staring oxo ahead of walcott, because he is clearly better, and in some ways we should be optimistic that we still have players like gibbs wilshere sagna and santos to come back.
Too many changes will upset the team. RvP loves playing with Theo, so I'd keep them playing together, and take them both off if they're winning by 2 after 60mins.
If we are going to swap Ramsey for anyone it should be Benayoun. And I would have Oxo to start probably with one of Gervinho or Walcott replacing him off the bench some time in the second half.
