Weakened Arsenal Prepare To See Off Wigan
Add comment November 24th, 2007
With a new manager arriving on Monday, and the Transfer Window just weeks away, every Wigan player knows he could be playing for his future today. That will make them a tougher proposition than they’ve proved over the past few games.
Furthermore, we’re without several key players: Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, and Van Persie (Adebayor: “I miss him a lot”) are all missing, with Gilberto (whose long-term presence in England looks more doubtful every day) and Diaby also unavailable.
The back four and goalkeeper however, will remain solid and unchanged. In midfield, Rosicky and Eboue are likely to flank an inexperienced but talented pairing of Denilson and Diarra. Upfront, “our secret weapon”, Eduardo da Silva could partner Emmanuel Adebayor, though Theo Walcott’s impressive form for the England U21s could thrust him into contention.
Our next four games after today are all away from home, so it’s essential we pick up three points today going into that slightly tricky spell. I have no doubts that we will.
Come on Arsenal.
