I’m sorry for not posting Arsenal vs. Liverpool match report last week.Finally we got to win games after two consecutive losses before.

However,in Arsenal squad good news are always balanced by bad news.Arshavin,Almunia,Song,Gallas are out for this match.Eduardo is not available just yet but Carlos Vela is O.K after recovering from knee injury.

Tactical wise,defense is the main problem now with absence of Gallas.We should play more defensively and a draw is a more realistic target considering our injury problem right now.Employing 4-5-1 formation should do us more good than harm.

We just need to ensure that we can get at least a draw there and we can get a victory when we play them again at Emirates.

It’s another grand slam for us tomorrow.It’s just the second match of Hell Schedule.Although we can’t really afford to lose this match,it looks unlikely we will come out from Stamford Bridge with any points.Drogba is back from AFC;Vela and Eduardo are out for this match.

However,our title contention does not end even we lose this match.Although we could be several points behind the leaders after this two weeks,but we have our toughest match played already.That could translate into advantage in the end game.

Since we are short on strikers,we could play 4-5-1 formation which offers solid midfield and better defense.Moreover,our midfielders are fit and therefore we should employ more midfielders in this game.Although we know that Drogba is very very dangerous,but our defense looks like it cannot stop Drogba from penetrating our net.Although I may sound pessimistic,but that’s the fact from the statistics.

But I’m optimistic about the title challenge.In BPL,one club doesn’t win title by winning the big teams only;the team must also beat the small teams to get the final grasp of the title.

It’s another titan clash before January ends.This match directly affects our title challenge since we give three points to our title rival if we lose this game.

Apart of Vermalen,Eduardo,Vela and Nasri are struggling for fitness.Eduardo injured his hamstring from the last match.Campbell will have to handle the Devils just after 2 weeks he rejoined us.I don’t sure if he can handle the Devils,but I don’t think he will handle them well than Vermalen.Anyway,we have to trust him.

Devils is no coward in their play and I expect consistent attacks from both side.Both managers have romantic games since the last decade and they will continue with their classical games.

Chelsea is the biggest winner here,but it’s only Chelsea who benefits from this game.Other teams are too far away from the third place so far.

Our last game at Old Trafford was a melee;we started well in first half and a single mistake made us concede from penalty.Another own goal presented the Devils the crucial three points.But that’s football and that’s what element that makes this titan clash so interesting to watch.

Both teams have their special kind of tactics and styles.Gunners loves to pass around and walk the ball into the net.Devils use fast passing and style of lurching forward(that’s not the correct word though to describe them).Liverpool’s and Chelsea’s style aren’t that interesting although their styles do produce results.

I’m looking forward for the match.It’s definitely interesting although we don’t necessarily win the game.

Aston Villa vs. Arsenal match preview

Even if Arsenal wins this match,I don’t think Arsenal will go top since Chelsea will be likely to win its match this night with higher margin than us.Considering that Chelsea will play Birmingham at home,it’s more likely that Chelsea beat Birmingham with a better margin than Arsenal beat Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Anyway,the most important thing is that Arsenal win this match;this match will symbolize the beginning of the terror schedule that will define our BPL season.

Let’s start with players.There’s good news of players coming back.Bendtner could feature in this game as substitute and if all goes well,he should be fit to play against Devils next weekend.The best part of all is no more players are injured now.All of our players who play in Bolton game are available tonight.

Villa’s fight for Champion League games has not gone well since Emirates defeat and Villa should utilize this chance to take revenge and gain their fight for Champion League spot.

I expect more physical plays from this game and this game is definitely 50:50;both teams can win the game.Last time at The Grooves,Villa made a mistake of going too passively and therefore conceding the play to us.I don’t think O’Neil will go for the same strategy again since Villa plays at home and Villa needs to utilize their home advantage to its fullest.

However,with most of our players start to get in shape,we should play better and we can really lift the title if Wenger knows to utilize this fact.

This is FA Cup match,therefore I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we lose this match.Of course we will love to win this game,but losing this game isn’t a big deal since we got better stuffs to focus to.Our next four matches will determine whether Gunners are competant enough to challenge for the title.In fact,the worst thing to come out from this match is a draw which means an extra match to play.

We will be likely to feature second-teamers.Arsenal.com confirmed that Campbell,Silvestre,Wilshere will play in this game.Other players include Eastmond,Sunu and Coquelin.Looking at the list of players that will play in this match,I don’t think Wenger places a lot of priority in this match.

The BPL title race just gets hotter now;Man. United is the new leader now with 2 points ahead of us.But of course we have a game in hand  Blues got 2 games in hand.

We know the game in Britannia will not be easy.In fact,we know how Stoke will play as mentioned in Arsenal.com.But can we counter their style??This match will tell….
