I think Wenger will revert Arshavin back to center forward due to Bendtner's lack of fitness and also because of Arshavin's inconsistent defensive work. Wenger will not only be considering his own side when picking the line up

Aston Villa's main weapons will be from set pieces where they will be looking to take advantage of our current lack of height. The team will also have to be switched on to the counter attack if we are to push forward and take the game to Villa

Wenger will have little choice but to field some of the first team players and in certain cases it is very helpful. Gael Clichy and Theo Walcott are two players who are lacking match practice and an extra game will do them good

Even with the squad having to deal with nine injuries, we are still able to put out a very strong side, very close to our strongest eleven

Gael Clichy is fit again and looking good in training so Wenger will make the decision to hold him back a little longer or throw him straight into the thick of the action

Momentum is usually a major factor when it comes to good form at Arsenal so getting straight back on the bike will be important. Everton's game plan is likely to be the same as most who visit the Emirates

I am interested to know how Arshavin and Eduardo link up at the Emirates in front of home support and our Crozilian playing with a bit of confidence after his recent flurry of goals

Forgotten man Philippe Senderos will get his chance at the heart of central defence if he passes a fitness test that has apparently ruled him out thus far

Aaron Ramsey could be drafted back into the side to replace our captain alongside Diaby and Song. That is still a very strong midfield, more creative than the one which started against Villa but probably not as strong of the defensive side

I would guess that Arsene does need the top three fastest players in the Arsenal squad against Aston Villa. Villa will play a counter attacking game against us and with players like Agbonlahor and Ashley Young running towards our goal
