With Man United gaining ground on Chelsea earlier in the week, with a convincing win against West Ham, it’s now Arsenal’s turn to prove we can cope with the pressure. Chelsea are playing Man City at Stamford Bridge, and with our late kick-off against Stoke on Saturday, we really could be up against it.
You can find the full match preview here.
I’m confident we will beat Stoke tomorrow. We seem intent on revenge, and I’m sure the Arsenal players haven’t forgotten about the cheating (time-wasting) involved during the FA Cup match when Stoke embarrassed us. This time will be different, the game means a lot more to Arsenal and we will have the big boys back.
I’m predicting a scoreline of 2-1 to Arsenal, with goals from Bendtner and Rosicky.
I’m hoping Wenger starts with the following team, with Nasri replacing Denilson in the middle, and having Eboue replace Walcott on the wing. I would even go as far as sticking Eboue in the middle of the park, he did a job there a couple of times last season.
Almunia
Sagna Campbell Vermaelen Clichy
Song
Fabregas Nasri
Eboue Rosicky
Bendtner
What’s everyone else’s thoughts on the game tomorrow?
Arsenal News 24/7



I tend to agree with that mid field. Eboue and Rosicky could be a good pairing with Fabregas Song and Nasri supporting. Meanwhile Bendtner can make a nusience of himself hanging around the penalty area.
aussie jack you make me laugh loool, “bendtner can make a nusience of himself hanging around the penalty area” looool, but yep Im gonna also with a 2-1 but just because we can’t keep clean sheets but im confident we can win, with bendtner and rosicky too. Would love us to keep a clean sheet!
But i would go for:
almunia
sagna, campbell, vermaelen, clichy
cesc, song, ramsey,
eboue, bendtner, nasri.
subs:
fabianski, silvestre, traore, denilson, rosicky, walcott, eduardo???
COME ON ARSENL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Arsenal must win this game very crucial
I don’t care about the line-up. All we need is a win over stoke city.
2 – 0 is victorious enough.
However, the boys are giving out their best; only that our lone striker “Bendtner” isn’t sharp enough.
Gunners till i die!
I am predicting a cricket score with Rosicky being very instrumental… 5 nil
I personally think it wiil be a tough game and it will also test our teams true desire to win this season. with regards to the starting line up any player will do provided they are will the fight on the pitch. Arsenal fun till i die

I think your prediction is right but for one thing.Eboue will be at right MF and Nasri at right wing,with Theo coming on later
Cesc, Song, and Bendtner are all certainties.
Choose three from Nasri, Eboue, Rosicky, Eduardo, Ramsey (all preferred) …
Denilson and Theo (not preferred) … and …
Vela and Merida (unfortunately not considered).
How about that … with Diaby and Arshavin both out we actually have options that don’t cause the heart to sink. Who’d have thought?
At the Britania again. But this time we will conquer.
Goalkeeper -Almunia
Back4- my pick: Sagna-Campbell-Vermaelen-Silvestre
AW will go with Clichy I guess. Although Stoke are not the quickest team, they surely are physical & we need the big body of Silvestre to deny the long throws that damages us at the past 2 visits 2 times (always of the left hand side). I go with Sagna to keep Eboue fit to the CL clash where more attacking power needed. At the Britania defense needed more.
Midfield trio- my pick: Fabregas-Song-Ramsey
It’s tempting to consider having Eboue as a right midfielder or even as a front right man, but I believe this have to be Walcott’s game. He will burst in the right & hit at the counter attack. I hope AW wont play Denilson & let him on the bench for few games. Thinking about his own joggings in the past few games.
Upfront- Walcott-Bendtner-Nasri
Here we have pace, power & good dribbling.
Ok, wont help them & this time the Delaph wepon wont hurt us. This our game mates, this is our season. I feel it deep in my guts. 3-1 to the Arsenal. It would be hard fought, physical though well earned win. Walcott, Bendtner & Ramsey will net the goals. Go gunners!!!
We supose to wach the match wit a bottle of bear if stoborn AW hav done the right tin by bringin in 2players..1DM/CB and 1provin FW..wil sing praises of him for trophy by now..i don’t hav any trust in him fornow until end of the season..in God we trust…
Sag..So or nw CB..tv.cl new DM or song
fablus..song or rams
eboue………….nasri
chamk or benth
song would hav patner Fab in mifd if we hav another strong DM and a provin striter wel end the trophless season by crowin fab,ebue and song asist effort..anyhow it is wel

i’m an arsenal fan for long. my problem is our pattern of play that does not allow players to take shot outside the box. i’m urging wenger to try that pattern. we are also in need of a standard attacker with exit of van persie. thanks
@kayonga benard
spot on mate, exactly the line up i would have chose.
3-2 to arsenal goals from:
bendtner, eboue and ramsey
fuller and tuncay for stoke
Too hard to call but id like to see:
Almunia
Eboue Campbell Vermaelen Clichy
Song Ramsey
Walcott Fabregas Rosicky
Bendtner
go gunners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED A WIN
