Quick Bolton Preview
Add comment October 20th, 2007
The big news ahead of today’s game is that Jens Lehmann has been dropped from the entire squad. Whether this is to allow him to escape the indignity of sitting on the bench or to punish him for recent comments remains unclear. Certainly it’s a clear statement from Arsene, and one that will probably push Jens even closer to the exit.
In defence, William Gallas will return in place of the injured Philippe Senderos. The midfield will probably be the same as against Sunderland, with Abou Diaby and Aleksandr Hleb flanking Player of the Month Fabregas and Flamini. Eduardo will partner Emmanuel Adebayor upfront, with Theo Walcott, Gilberto, and Tomas Rosicky all likely to provide able support from the bench.
Got to rush to the game now, but I really hope we beat them. Even though Big Sam has long since departed, I hate Bolton as much as ever.
