Arsenal will be welcoming the Latics tonight at the Emirates, This is a must win game and three points would open the gap from the closest opponents to 8 points howbeit both have a game at hand.If the points are bagged then they will wait for Newcastle and Spurs to falter in their next games putting the Gunners to a strong third position.The Latics came to this game with a strong euphoria after beating the champions at the DW stadium where the had also crushed Liverpool before the controversial lose at the Stanford Bridge.If their recent wins are something to go by, Arsenal should be weary of complacency which made them drop three points at Loftus road.However the gunners have also had a good run, winning 9 in 10 games including the win against City where they totally dominated the game.An early goal would make all the difference with Walcot and Van Persie on the score sheet.If Wigan attempt to attack and open up the game they may be punished.This should be a high score win for the Gunners.4-1

Finally a trophy after six years of drought.

Is Djourou playing?He has just scored for Wigan pn the right

@Verminator...pulls one back.

The gunners succumbed to the Wigan loss at home. This Wigan team is amazing at surviving the relegation battle. Just two wks ago is when they moved out of the relegation zone and now they are 5 pts above it. Who would have thought that their revival would be when they have the toughest fixtures on paper. They beat Liverpool, Man u and Arsenal and were clearly denied at Chelsea. Hat off for them.

Gunners must now beat the blues, otherwise 3rd place will slip away.
