Arsenal VS Blackpool
Venue : Emirates
Time : 3pm Local Time

Arsenal entertain Blackpool after their 1-1 draw with Liverpool in their first game of the season. The gunners will definitely be without Samir Nasri (out for a month) and new signing Koscielny (suspension).

The good news is Arsenal could field both Robin Van Persie and Captain Cesc Fabregas. Alex Song might be available after a calf knock kept him out of the last game, and Denilson has recovered from an abdominal problem, although the Brazilian is unlikely to feature.

Blackpool enjoyed a dream start to the season with a 4-0 hammering of Wigan. But they face a herculean task of achieving the same feat at the emirates. Coach Holloway is likely to stick with the side that performed so admirably against Wigan last weekend.

Possible starting XIs:

Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Clichy, Vermaelen, Djourou, Diaby, Fabregas, Wilshere, Arshavin, Van Persie, Chamakh.

Blackpool: Gilks, Evatt, Crainey, Baptiste, Cathcart, Vaughan, Adam, Taylor-Fletcher, Grandin, Ormerod, Harewood

Hope Sagna has not torn a groin muscle
Love the passion !

The main issue is not Arsenal scoring, but Arsenal succeeding in holding on to their lead.

See? Look at that cross! Almost caught the defenders napping.

Almost equalizer. freekick 2 guns.

Heck, that cross did catch the defenders napping. Dude's head was just too big to angle it in correctly.
