Arsenal will host Olympique de Marseille in the fourth round of UEFA Champions League match in group F with a big boost of confidence after trashing Chelsea this weekend in Premiership. The Gunners currently lead with seven points and Marseille trails with six

With five wins on the trot, Arsenal have turned around their fortunes in the Premier League, after a poor start to their campaign that included a loss to Tottenham earlier this month. Van Persie has scored seven goals in the five games, including a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (5:3 against Chelsea!).

Wenger was full of praise for his team after it overcame a one-goal halftime deficit to win 5-3 at Stamford Bridge only two months after Arsenal was humiliated 8-2 against Manchester United at Old Trafford. With the last hat-trick Van Persie took his personal tally to 10 league goals this season. Apart from the Dutch forward another player, who has been instrumental in the Gunners’ turn around, is Aaron Ramsey who has proved an effective replacement, for Cesc Fabregas, in midfield.

Didier Deschamps men have not had the best domestic campaign so far this season, and currently sit in 9th place in the standings. They did beat Dijon 3-2 at the weekend however, which will give them confidence going into this clash. Marseille won three games in League 1 since their defeat from Arsenal but their problem is the defense.

Arsenal is unbeaten in their last 24 home games in group stage of UCL, while Marseille has poor record in England, winning only once from ten visits. However, Didier Deschamps men have a 1-0 win against Olympiakos in Greece and a impressive victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Velodrome in this CL campaign.

Loic Remy and Andre Ayew will be main threats to Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny, as they scored 12 goals in all competitions so far. Midfield creativity should come from the redoubtable trio of Valbuena, Gonzalez and Cheyrou.

Arsene Wenger won't be able to count on Jenkinson, Eastmond, Gibbs, Wilshere and Sagna due to all kind of injury problems. As for Marseille, Gignac has recovered from injury and gives the visitors another choice in their attack. Mbia will not available for this match.

Marseille has to play for a win or they'll leave their destiny in the hands of someone else. Even a draw gives Arsenal a one-point advantage and should they both win, the Gunners will move on. Unless Marseille thinks Olympiakos or Borussia Dortmund can at least square away a draw with Arsenal they have to play for a win.
Match

V.Persie should be excluded from this game, It would be child abuse for him to play and beat their black Arse, V.P e worship your technique ohhhhh.
