Re: Arsenal F.C. vs Aston Villa F.C.; 24/03/20123-0? I can only see this as a comfortable Arsenal win given our recent form. Hope AOC starts. Just wish we didn't slip earlier in the league otherwise we could be up there with City and United.

I'm going to go with 3-0 as well.
Szczesny
Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Santos
Song Arteta
Walcott Rosicky Gervinho
van Persie
That's the team I'd guess will be put out. I'd like to see Oxlade start as well, though. -

Re: Arsenal F.C. vs Aston Villa F.C.; 24/03/2012Yeah, that's what I want to see, none of the Ramsey in AM and Rosicky on the LW madness that Wenger fielded against Everton.(Original post by Abiraleft)

Pretty sure Gibbs will start over Santos though, but I reckon Ramsey, Ox and Santos will come on as subs. -

Re: Arsenal F.C. vs Aston Villa F.C.; 24/03/2012I think Arsenal will be comfortable today. They've been on a great run of form, and i'm sure would love to beat Villa after that close game in the FA Cup. Prediction wise, i'll go 2-0 or 3-1. Arsenal by 2.

Re: Arsenal F.C. vs Aston Villa F.C.; 24/03/2012I think the strategy with away games is to flood the midfield and it's proved to be effective. Having that extra midfielder enables you to dictate the game. At home it's a different story though, we have the impetus to attack so it makes sense playing essentially three strikers. I hope we can turn the Emirates into a fortress like what United have done at Old Trafford.
