Arsenal vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Goldie.7]

Sunday 1st Feb KO - 1:30pm

Them 1 Us 1

Benteke to end his drought, Giroud to snatch a late equaliser.

*Good news Welbeck, The Ox, Wilshere all out and Sanchez might not make it either.
 

[Ron Manager]

Gabby recalled scores two and is hailed as the greatest player of his generation.

Sunday 1st Feb 1.30pm - Emirates Stadium.

Them 1 Us 1

I've taken Benteke out of my Fantasy League team so he's bound to score!

[Duncan Shaw]

Well he normally has a good game at The emirates.
Think we'll lose!  2-0

[The Left Side]

0-0

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Alexis Sanchez is a "doubt" with an injury. This might be time for Benteke to find his form if he gets a decent supply from Gil Hutton and sissoko ........

Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Sunday's game against Aston Villa:

on the team news…
The squad will be exactly the same as last Sunday. The only uncertainty we have is Alexis Sanchez who has a hamstring concern, and that will be decided on Saturday. He might be out for Sunday. The only [other] difference is that Gabriel is available and we’ll check him how he is physically but he should be alright to be available.

on Danny Welbeck…
Welbeck is very close. He is really, really, really nearly there. He will be available for the Tottenham game.

on Wilshere, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain…
They are not completely there yet but they are not far. Jack should join in normal training in 10 days. Welbeck on Monday. That’s where we are at the moment. Arteta a bit longer.

He plays for the barcodes so I highly doubt Benteke will be getting supplied anytime soon

[Witton Warrior]

We score first 2-1
They score first 0-3

[edgysatsuma89]

I'm going to bet on us to win this, i can feel it in me bones. Or I'm on some seriously good drugs.

[Gregorys Boy]

4-1 to the Arsenal.  Weinmann to get ours.  Our best chance of getting anything is to expect the worse (leaves thread...)

[not3bad]

Arsenal 1 Villa 2

[eamonn]

Sinclair be reg'd in time?

[Toronto Villa]

Sinclair be reg'd in time?

should be with the game on Sunday.

[Steve kirk]

I have a crazy feeling that we will nick a point 2-2
