'Lord Wenger Reigns Supreme'
Having shut Olympiacos during mid-week with a convincing 2-0 win at the Emirates, its time for Blackburn to bear the burnt of Arsenal’s ire. With Wenger having just turned Arsenal’s longest serving manager a couple of days back, the Gunners would be upbeat to enthrall the occasion with a fitting win and dedicate it to Lord Wenger.
We @ 11Gunners gear up for the same..
TEAM NEWS
Arsenal
Denilson has been sidelined for two months with a back fracture. Theo Walcott could may a belated first appearance of the season and Nicklas Bendtner, injured in a car accident, should be available.
Blackburn
Blackburn are without Vince Grella, sent off in the 2-1 win over Villa last Saturday and test Gäel Givet, missing for two games.
Probable Starting Line-Up For Arsenal (4-2-3-1)
Mannone
Sagna-Gallas-Vermaelen-Clichy
Song-Diaby
Bendtner-Fabregas-Arshavin
VanPersie
Stat Attack
Arsenal have scored four in both of their home games.
Also in both the Premier League games against Blackburn last season, Arsenal came out trumps with a 4-0 victory!
Men To Watch
Van Persie and Arshavin, both are back to their best. Fabregas was in amazing touch against Olympiacos just that he wasn’t wearing his finishing boots on. Expect him to make good on Sunday though. Also Walcott and Bendtner, both coming off injuries of different kinds, would be hoping to make a goal-scoring return to the side.
PREDICTION
Arsenal 4 – Blackburn 0
Well going by the stats from last and start to this season, only a fool would think otherwise! And that we aren’t!
VanPersie, Walcott, Cesc and Bendtner to score for the Gunners.
Bring’em On..




































4-0 seems good enough…
i will expect ARSHA to fire up the league…
Yes Arshavin is the man. Wenger has clamied out in the open that he is no less than Messi, Ronaldo et al. I say, if he propels these bunch of youngsters to glory this season, he would be better off than his peers. C’mon Arsha..
