Andrey Arshavin had been on the fringes of the game, he was finding it difficult to get involved as he was being starved of service by the hard working Liverpool midfield. But the little Russian only needs one chance to make something happen

Ramsey picked up the ball in the center of midfield spotted Walcott starting his run behind the center back and with the outside of the right boot

Andrey Arshavin has the movement of an experienced center forward, ghosting into spaces just before the ball is about to be played. His movement was causing Stoke City many problems as he drifted all across the front line

I thought that Theo Walcott would have been a certain starter for the game and was truly bemused to find out that he was not part of the squad

Theo Walcott is still not match sharp, he was running into Chelsea players and giving the ball away. Sometimes it feels like he is trying to run outside his marker every time he gets the ball, experience will bring variety to his play

Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Denilson, Song, Cesc and Arshavin are all going to start if fit, you can bet your mortgage on that. The only possible questions that Wenger may have to think about is at left back, central striker and right attack

Carlos Vela didn't have many attempts on goal but his movement and pace was a great outlet for the team. He played a very unselfish game last night and did it very well. Many times he pulled out to the wing which allowed the likes of Arshavin or Nasri

All eyes were on Eduardo da Silva following Robin Van Persie's lay off but unfortunately he was rather subdued during the game. Physically Eduardo doesn't have the same presence as Van Persie and he is not the type of player to create chances for himself

Nine goals for Cesc Fabregas and now top scorer in all competitions for Arsenal, when you add the highest number of assists in the team this season you are talking about a truly world class player

A few seconds later William Gallas powered forward to join the attack, exchanging passes with Arshavin and finding Cesc in the left of the penalty box, Cesc shifted the ball past the defender and scuffed a right footed shot low towards the near post
