Arsenal V Sunderland [2 - 0] On Saturday 20th February by mukina2: 5:08pm On Feb 19, 2010 |
Arsenal will look to bounce back from the midweek disappointment of their defeat to Porto in the UEFA Champions League with a victory over Sunderland.The Black Cats make the journey to the capital for the Premier League clash on Saturday to face a Gunners side that went down 2-1 in the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday.Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski had a night to forget in Portugal as the young Polish stopper made sloppy errors for both Porto goals.However, Arsene Wenger's side still have a good chance of making the quarter-finals of Europe's elite competition and they will want to regain form and momentum when they entertain Sunderland at the Emirates.The North Londoners beat top-four hopefuls Liverpool on their last domestic outing in the league, but had previously lost successive games against Chelsea and Manchester United.And while certain quarters had written them off for the title after those games, the Gunners are now only six points behind league leaders Chelsea and still in with a shout.Indeed, they will fancy their chances of keeping up the pressure at the top with Sunderland having not won in the league since they beat Arsenal back in November. Darren Bent scored the only goal of the game on that occasion but since then Steve Bruce's men have been on a wretched run of form.After a good start to the season, the Wearsiders have slipped down the league table and they currently lie just three points above the relegation zone.Bent has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates ahead of the game but it would take a brave decision to bet against Arsenal taking all three points this time around.To make matters worse, Sunderland could potentially be without six midfielders as they look to end their run of 12 Premier League games without a win.Jordan Henderson (ankle), Andy Reid (hamstring), Lee Cattermole and David Meyler (both suspended) are all certain to miss the clash, with Steed Malbranque (chest) unlikely to play given he is still being monitored by the club's medical staff after being substituted during the draw with Portsmouth on 9th February.Fellow midfielder Kieran Richardson (calf) has resumed training but faces a race against time to be fit, with defenders Anton Ferdinand (ankle) and John Mensah (hamstring) also touch and go. Striker Fraizer Campbell should start on the bench after shaking off a hamstring problem.Arsenal, meanwhile, could have Manuel Almunia back between the sticks after he missed the trip to Porto, with the goalkeeper rated at 50/50 to return.Should Almunia recover from a twisted finger, Fabianski could again find himself warming the bench after his blunders in midweek.Alex Song could be back after missing the Champions League fixture but midfielder Abou Diaby has picked up a knee ligament problem and is sidelined.William Gallas (calf), Andrey Arshavin and Eduardo (both hamstring) are still out. Possible starting XIs: Arsenal: Almunia, Sagna, Vermaelen, Campbell, Clichy, Denilson, Fabregas, Eboue, Rosicky, Nasri, Bendtner. Sunderland: Gordon, McCartney, Killgallon, Hutton, Turner, Bardsley, Cana, Zenden, Richardson, Jones, Bent.

DARREN BENT WILL SCORE AGAIN. ARSENAL NEVER SEEM TO LEARN HOW TO HANDLE THEIR TORMENTORS (DROGBA & BENT). MY HEART TELLS ME 1-1 DRAW, HOW EVER HOPE ARSENAL WINS 2-1. I WONDER WHERE THE GOALS WILL COME FROM ESPECIALLY IF SUNDERLAND PACKS THE BUS IN THEIR OWN GOAL AREA. |

Arsenal cannot afford to drop anymore points. Sunderland is a difficult team to play,but i see Arsenal clinchin all 3 points |
Re: Arsenal V Sunderland [2 - 0] On Saturday 20th February by snowdrops(m): 10:13pm On Feb 19, 2010 |
nuelmae:To do that, i think we need to drop Clinchy. His form since he came back from injury has been laughable. Even my grandmother would have done a better job. We need the 3rd choice left back back . . . . . . .wetin be him name again ![]() |

No dulling 4 dis match o! As we xpect Everton 2 take on United n Chelsea possibly dropping points. |
Re: Arsenal V Sunderland [2 - 0] On Saturday 20th February by slap1(m): 7:51am On Feb 20, 2010 |
Clichy needs to watch this match from the bench. Arshavin is also begining to disappoint ME. I tink we need Campbell. I also vote goal keeper Mannone for the post. Fabianski's a basket. |
