Arsenal vs Bolton- Team news and predictions

Arsenal

will today, travel to Reebok Stadium and face Owen Coyle’s Bolton Wanderers. My line up for tonight is of course Szczesny in goal; I think Wenger will stick to Francis Coquelin at right back with Sagna, probably not 100 % fit to play the full 90 minutes.

The two centre backs will be Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, who really perform well together now. At left back, we will see Thomas Vermaelen play in that position. At midfield, Song and Arteta will play alongside either Aaron Ramsey or Tomas Rosicky. I want Ramsey there because I think he is starting to perform now and with Arteta back; they will do a great job together.

At left wing, I definitely want Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been one of our best players in the last three games. At right wing, it’s a tough one though with Walcott, Rosicky, Arshavin and Henry all capable in playing in that position. I prefer Theo Walcott, who has been playing a lot recently and is on his way back to form. I would rather have Rosicky in a more central position.

And up front we have Robin Van Persie, who scored two penalties against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, and should definitely be in the starting lineup.

The formation is 4-2-3-1. On the bench we have Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Henry, Rosicky, Arshavin and Benayoun.

We have Gibbs coming back in 1-2 weeks and that will be a massive boost for Arsenal. Diaby is also back in training, but will not play until late February. Jack Wilshere, unfortunately, had a setback and will be out for an extended period. He might be fit to play in the last three games of the Premiership.

I think we will win 2-1 with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ramsey scoring the goals.
