Arsenal‘s defence will cost them dearly
Of all the top teams in Europe Arsenal may just have the weakest defence and it would be proved in this match . Remember last year Carling Cup final against Birmingham where miscommunication between Szczesny and Koscielny denied Arsenal to end their trophy drought but where would be football without its hilarious moments . So expect another type of drama in this match which will rob Arsenal of victory and entry into the Champions League .
Injuries
When Arsenal play injuries are bound to happen this is because their players are made of glass and it shouldn’t be Arsenal F.C but Glass F.C . Already almost half of the squad is injured and only God knows knows how this happen to Arsenal all the time . You must be thinking that in football injuries happen all the the time but for Arsenal this is everyday business like Vermaelen was out for whole of last season, while Cesc was playing he would play 5 games and then hit by a hamstring while their new captain Van Persie only appears for one half of the season. At any given time of the year their is at least one player lying on the Arsenal treatment table. So don’t be surprised if you see Arsenal playing with only their goalkeeper.
Arsene Wenger recieving another touchline ban
We all know the Arsene is a great manager and the best in the history of Arsenal but his biggest problem is his mouth he can’t control what comes out of it, which always sends him into deep trouble he is lucky to have been cleared by UEFA to manage his team for the second leg but this won’t last for long as you’ll see that in the post match conference he’ll criticise the referee or the linesman for favouring Udinese and after which he will be banned again he’ll come out and say that now you can’t even give your opinion.
Gervinho getting sent off by slapping Antonio Di Natale
No one could have made a better début in the Barclays Premier League than the Ivory Coast international Gervinho who got sent off after slapping Joey Barton. It was much of a feathered touch but it seems that Joey got hit by a train, by the way he fell to the ground . Personally I loved it at least somebody did teach the Newcastle man a lesson. Now Gervinho will be making his debut in the Champions League and I am crossing my fingers that Gervinho slaps the Udinese captain and sees red at least then the match would turn out to be interesting.
Arsenal scoring an own goal
The most exciting part of weekend’s match between Arsenal and Liverpool was Aaron Ramsey’s own goal (yes even better then Frimpong’s sending off) that brought life in an other wise boring match. If this would to open in this clash then what an exciting match this would turn into.
