Match Preview – West Ham (a) – Premier League

hleb_1I’d expect pretty much all change from the team that played against Newcastle. Defense and attack pick themselves, Tough decision as always is the midfield.

Match Preview – Newcastle (h) – Carling Cup

diarra_1Gallas and Rosicky definitely injured. There was a possibility of Hleb playing at the weekend, so maybe with a few more days recovery he’ll be in the squad for this one. Possibility of Eboue in the squad. I don’t see Lehmann making his triumphant return in this game.

Match Preview – Derby County (h) – Premier League

walcott_1In the Premiership, we've faced Derby twelve times, winning eight, drawing three and losing one, 3-0 away in Wenger's first full season. The last time we met them was March 2002, a 1-0 home win with Pires scoring the winner.

Match Preview – Tottenham (a) – Premier League

gilberto_1After Spurs’ hilarious start to the season, we travel to The Home of Scums to try and add to their misery. Maybe a fourth loss of the season at home to us will be enough to tip them over the edge and they all kill each other

Match Preview – Portsmouth (h) – Premiership

hleb_1Portsmouth are the visitors for our third home game in eight days, as we look to continue our good start to the season. Pompey were desperately unfortunate to leave Cuntford Bridge with nothing last weekend as they completely outplayed

Match Preview – Sparta Prague (h) – Champions League

eduardo_1Gallas and Lehmann are definitely out. According to Wenger "Sagna had a kick in the back, Senderos has an ankle injury. He did it in training on Friday and did not pass the fitness test. I think both will be okay for Tuesday".

Match Preview – Manchester City (h) – Premiership

almunia_1We’ve played Man City at home six times under Wenger, and are yet to lose, having won five of the games. Before last season we’d beaten them five times away, scoring fifteen goals, but Barton’s penalty essentially put us out of the title race

Match Preview – Blackburn Rovers (a) – Premiership

rosicky_2Gilberto, Diaby and Adebayor are all out injured. Eboue has picked up a knock and may miss the game, Rosicky’s definitely out. Denilson may be fit, either to start in place of Flamini or to replace Song on the bench, and Eduardo should be fit enough to start if needed.

Match Preview – Sparta Prague (a) – Champions League

rosicky_1After our momentous victory against Fulham the squad travel to the Czech Republic for the first leg of our Champions League qualifier.

Match Preview – Fulham (h) – Premiership

flamini_1Diaby and Fabregas should recover from a virus and be available, Adebayor is out with a groin problem, Gilberto won’t yet be back fit after his post Copa America holiday.
