Team Predictions: Arsenal v West Ham United
Arsenal have added options in midfield for the visit of West Ham on Saturday, after Cesc Fabregas and Tomas Rosicky recovered from their respective injuries.
The Gunners duo passed their fitness tests earlier this afternoon and Arsene Wenger confirmed today that both maestro’s will be available to play against Gianfranco Zola’s men.
“Cesc is back in the squad,” said Wenger. “He had a test on Friday and it was positive.
“Rosicky is back in the squad and [Alex] Song is available after suspension. On that front it looks quite good.”
Alex Song also returns from suspension, while Carlos Vela is expected to make the bench. Defender William Gallas is still weeks away from a comeback.
Gooner Talk’s Predicted XI
Almunia
Sagna – Campbell – Vermaelen – Clichy
Fabregas – Song – Rosicky
Walcott – Bendtner – Nasri
We’ll post the confirmed starting line-up when we get it tomorrow afternoon.
Let us know your score and team predictions in the comments section!
im going for 3-1 to arsenal, we will inevitably concede some stupid goal but west ham are poor defensively so we should score at least 2-3 goals against them. Esp with the line up predicted above
=====================almunia
==sagna=======sol============verm=====clichy
===================song
=======diaby==============nasri
===walcott=====bendy==========arshavin
I dont think cesc will be rushed back until he is needed, maybe eboue instead of theo
should be too strong for them, just hope that the barca draw doesn’t distract anybody in our squad. get an early goal n the game is ours!
WHY DO YOU INSIST IN PUTTING WALCOTT IN OUR STARTING LINE-UP. WITH THE PLAYERS WE HAVE AVAILABLE, NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD WALCOTT BE IN THE STARTING LINE-UP. ON THE BENCH IF HE IS LUCKY
I am going for a bendtner hat trick, he always seems to create chances i think this time he will put them away especially with fabregas back.
Also hope walcott gets a start i really do think he could make a massive impact on arsenal
With such a sufficient squad,i would want 2 see a real free scoring gunners without that generosity &wastefulness to give away goals and waste chances.Atleast 4 goals.
Almunia
Eboue – Campbell – Vermaelen – Clichy
Cesc – Song – Diaby
Nasri – Bendtner – Arshavin
Walcott and Rosicky will come on to replace Nasri and Arshavin
