It will be a battle between No. 2 against a midtable team.....A top-notch ref is not necessary.

There goes any chance we had of keeping a clean sheet on Sunday......

Like i said our players always take too long to return from injury.

Only Newcastle have kept a clean sheet against man Utd - and we were outplayed in every department that day. I doubt that would happen even with TV5 on the pitch.

Norwich vs Chelsea - Draw
Bolton vs Liverpool - Slim win for the Kop
City vs Spurs - Draw
Arsenal vs Man Utd - Slim win for Utd i.e. 2-1

@ Smano....It would be a big blow if we were to play without Vermaelen, his influence for Arsenal can be compared to that of Vidic at Man Utd. since the Belgian arrived at the club two years ago, Arsenal have won 61% of games with him in the starting line-up compared to 53% without, while in the current campaign the Gunners have conceded an average of 0.7 goals per games when Vermaelen has been present compared to 1.83 without and have also kept clean sheets in 40% of the games he has started, compared to 25% without.

I'm not sure what our chances are without him or Arteta so i'll go for a draw....Last season in the same fixture Djourou and Koscielny kept a clean sheet, hope they can repeat that performance.

Man City have not dropped any point at home this season and i don't expect Spurs to break that record especially with Dzeko back in form to assist Aguero at the front. Hapa naona 3-1 to the Shitty.

am totally disapointed with Arsenal's medical team, I think its high time the club overhauled the department. When we had hopes of first team guys play against Man U, we are told our players are 2-3 weeks away from playing. A game without TV5, Arteta and now Henry, I dont expect much however the love I have for Arsenal.

If we play the same squad we used against Swansea, I bet we shall be beaten by Man U. Lack of Arteta destroyed the whole midfield. I have no idea why we got an average player in Benayoun on loan from Chelsea. We are totally exposed at the defence without a competent right and left back. Djourou and Ignasi cant match Welbecks speed and this my main worry.
I would love to see Oxlade-Chamberlain start the game. A draw would be much welcome coz we cant make a win.
