So we currently sit third in the table, five points ahead of both Spurs and Newcastle respectively, and I think it’s fair to say that we are in fine form and in a great position to seal a top four finish come May, if of course things continue the way they are.
But on tomorrow night we host yet another relegation threatened side in Roberto Martinez’s Wigan, who on Wednesday beat Manchester United, and as we all know, no game is easy at this stage of the season.
Arsene Wenger has chopped and changed the side in the last couple of games and generally, despite the freak loss to QPR, his tweaks have worked.
But how should the Frenchman set out his team tomorrow night at The Emirates?
Personally, I only think two changes are needed from the team that whacked Wolves 3-0 four days ago. These are Aaron Ramsey for Tomas Rosicky and Yossi Benayoun for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
So my line-up would look like this:
Szczesny
Sagna Djourou Vermaelen Santos
Arteta Song
Rosicky
Walcott Chamberlain
Van Persie
I firmly believe this is a game where AOC could shine in, but for this to happen then Yossi, who has played well in the past two games, must be dropped.
Johan Djourou is purely in the line-up because Laurent Koscielny (suspended) and Per Mertesacker (injured) are both unavailable, while Andre Santos is in because Kieran Gibbs is apparently 50/50, according to Arsene.
The midfield speaks for itself. No room for Ramsey unfortunately, but he will undoubtedly feature during the 90.
Robin van Persie leads the line and hopefully adds to his incredible 27 Premier League goals.
Who do you guys reckon should start for us tomorrow night against Wigan?

I reckon wenger will stick with benayoun although i’m gunning for a chambo start. Ramsey will definetly be drop, his below per performance against wolves will definetly not help his case. With this said i’m looking forward to some good monday night football.
With Santos as left back, Benayoun is the preferred choice as he is better defensively than Ox.
I find Santos agressive up front and with insufficient match fitness, Benayoun can provide the balance on the left wing.
Ches
Jenkins-miquel-djouro-santos
Song-tomas-aaron
Ox-chama-gerv/yos
I agree with your line up and bring Gervinho, Benayoun at a certain stage.
————–Sir Chesney————–
Sagna—–Djourou——Vermaelen—-Santos
———-Song———Arteta———-
————–Rosicky——————
-Walcott———-RVP———Benayoun
Gervinho and Oxlade can come on for both wingers if we’re losing.
Walcott and chambo should both start such that they will be swaping on the wings. This will give the tired and old legs of ashley and exploit the slowness of bosingwa. Then up front rvp should do his job just fine. A hatrick perhaps?
Szczesny
Sagna—–Djourou—-Vermaelen—-A.Santos
Song—-Arteta
Rosicky
Walcott Gervinho
R.Van Persie
Whatever team Arsenal puts out it must be Focus, Focus, Focus!
Arsenal must be committed, respect their opponents but not be scared. This is a vital game.
