http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 vs Udinese - UEFA Champions League Preview
Arsenal are currently preparing themselves to play host to Italian side Udinese at the Emirates Stadium. After having failed to secure an automatic spot in this year’s Champions league, the Gunners now have to go through the qualification stage, to ensure their spot in the group stages of the tournament.
Going into the game, Arsenal are looking to be far more depleted than they normally are. The team is going to be without Cesc Fabregas who has now joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360.
At the same time, star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 is going to be missing in action since he serving out his match ban, which he picked up last season.
Tomas Rosicky is also a major doubt for the game, as he is going to have to go through a late fitness test, in order to know if he is going to be playing in the game.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463, who was expected to be fit for the game, seems still be recovering from an ankle knock and is going to be sitting this game out.
However, on the bright side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicklas-Bendtner-c27726 who was being rumoured to be heading for the exit door at the Emirates, might also be given a chance to play for the team.
Udinese have also suffered the loss of Inler and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 this summer, which has taken a lot out of the team. However, with Di Natalie, looking to be in some of the finest form of his career, he is bound to cause the Gunners some problems.
At the moment, there are no clear favourites who are being picked out for the game. In fact, the experts are currently split up in their decision over what might happen in the game, Some favour Arsenal, while others are tipping Udinese to win and some are predicting a draw.
Expected Score:
Arsenal 3 -1 Udinese
