Arsenal Vs Stoke City [2 - 0] On Saturday, 5th Dec by Cristalz(f): 10:50am On Dec 04, 2009 |
Arsenal get a chance to get back on their feet as they host Stoke City on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates. After the 3 - 0 loss to Chelsea at home last weekend, Arsenal went 11 points behind the league leaders on the table. One cannot say their title hopes are over yet, but they'll need a win here to keep those hopes alive, as well as to restore team confidence. The main attackers for the Gunners are still out injured, so Eduardo and Carlos Vela remain in place for this game. In midfield, Arsenal were hit with the bad news of Theo Walcott's hamstring injury which he sustained in their games against Chelsea last weekend. He is not expected to be out for long, though. Alexandre Song will miss this match as well, after receiving his fifth booking of the season against Manchester City in Wednesday's Carling Cup quarter-final game. Tomas Rosicky, Andrei Arshavin, Nasri, Denilson, Cesc Fabregas, and Eboue are the choices available to Wenger in the middle. In defense, Bacary Sagna is set to return for Arsenal. He will play, as well as William Gallas and Tomas Vermaelen. Arsenal are still trying unsuccessfully to keep clean sheets in their games. . .let's see if things can turn around at the Emirates on Saturday. Stoke City will be going all out against Arsenal in a bid to exploit Wenger's currently injury-ravaged side. In attack, manager Tony Pulis has got Tuncay Sanli, Ricardo Fuller, and James Beattie. Ricardo Fuller will be the main one the Arsenal defense need to look out for, 'cos he hasn't done badly so far this season. Midfielder Dean Whitehead will miss this match, after receiving his fifth booking of the season. He will definitely be missed as he brings a lot of strength to the midfield. Available options include Glenn Whelan, Matthew Etherington, Danny Pugh, Amdy Faye, and of course, the man with the long throws, Rory Delap. Defender Ryan Shawcross was pulled out of Stoke's game last weekend 'cos of a groin injury. He is a doubt for this game, but Tony Pulis is hopeful that the skilled defender will be able to make it. Robert Huth, Danny Higginbotham, and Abdoulaye Faye are among the defenders available for the game. Stoke City are going to go all out against Arsenal. . .remains to be seen if the Gunners can get a clear, convincing victory. |

This is too easy! Arsenal lose 0-3 once again A brace from Fuller and one from Whelan. FA will ban Wenger for 3 matches for failing once again to shake Tony Pulis at the end of the match! The giants from Stoke city will annihilate Snow White and the 11 dwarfs from N5! You heard from me first |

What we have just witnessed is the problem we have with beating resolute teams. Make up your mind and score without all that pre-intimacy in front of goal. |
Re: Arsenal Vs Stoke City [2 - 0] On Saturday, 5th Dec by Moves: 4:54pm On Dec 05, 2009 |
