The Gunners currently have one foot in the door of the Champions League group stages and Arsene will have to warn the players that it is very possible to have your foot broken if you are not careful. Cesc Fabregas being rested injured means that Wenger can play a more physical midfield. A mixture of athleticism and technique should be enough to get past the hoops at the Emirates.

Having played three matches in a short space of time and with important and difficult Premier League matches coming up it will be very difficult to guess what team Arsene Wenger will select in a game that we are in control of but equally the prospect of failure would be massive, so it will have to be very careful rotation of his squad.

Alex Song was rested in the 4-1 victory against Portsmouth and I would expect two goal hero Abou Diaby to continue in midfield to add strength and flair. Denilson is a player who has played in all three games so far and could do with a rest before the big weekend game. Aaron Ramsey is a player who can come in, especially after his impressive second half against Pompey. I guess it all depends on how much he trusts the talent of the 18 year old Aaron Ramsey who looks to have grown physically as well as mentally since the summer.

I expect Nicklas Bendtner to be drafted back into the attack with Van Persie possibly sitting on the bench. I am intrigued to see if young Jack Wilshere finds a warm seat on the bench after not being a part of the reserve victory against Fulham on Monday evening.

If we are in a comfortable lead at half time then there is a good chance that Andrey Arshavin will be rested ahead of the Manchester matches coming up.

Mean Lean’s Predicted Line Up

Mean Lean’s Match Prediction

I expect Celtic to come out of the blocks quickly, and aggressively but they will try and remain strong defensively at the same time. Vermaelen and Gallas will have to continue to be at their best as Celtic will try to capitalise on high balls and set pieces.

Our home European record is good and I expect the squad to have enough to score the goals to deflate Celtic. Eduardo is on a high right now and is looking confident so I predict the deadly finisher to be presented with the chances to be put away. Our midfield has been the main source of our goals and Diaby should be playing in that attacking role and could continue where he left off over the weekend.
