Football Special Report: Bettor.com’s Prediction of Arsenal Starting Eleven against Wigan Athletic
Arsenal will visit DW Stadium tonight with the best away record in this season of the Barclays Premier League. Arsenal have won their last five away fixtures and lost only in recent six away matches. The defeat came against Manchester United at Old Trafford
two weeks ago.
Moreover, Wigan Athletic are unbeaten at home in their last 5 matches. In addition to that, the Latics also defeated Arsenal last season at DW Stadium by three goals to two.
Nonetheless, Arsenal are favourites to win this match after beating Premier League champions two days ago. Here is Bettor.com’s prediction of Arsenal starting eleven against Wigan Athletic.
Arsenal Starting Eleven
Goalkeeper
Arsenal veteran goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Almunia-c23386 is side-lined since late September due to an elbow injury which he suffered in a home defeat against West Bromwich Albion.
Since then, Lukasz Fabianski has been wearing gloves for the Gunners and has performed decently up till now. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukasz-Fabianski-c22910 played last match against Chelsea two nights ago and is also likely to start at DW Stadium.
Moreover, Arsenal young goalie http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wojciech-Szczesny-c36998 will take his place on the bench as a second choice keeper of the Gunners against Latics tonight.
Defenders
Arsene Wenger’s defence leader http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kieran-Gibbs-c20945 is also side-lined because of an ankle injury which he suffered in the start of this month.
Arsenal veteran left back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, will surely sustain his place on the right flank. Along with him, on the left flank, Arsenal most experienced defender, Gael Clichy, is likely to start for the Gunners.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 in the heart of the Gunners defence.
Midfielders
Arsenal skipper and most creative midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, is suspended and will not take part in this match. The Spanish midfielder was shown his fifth yellow card of the season against Chelsea on Monday night. However, Thomas Rosicky is likely to replace
Fabregas in the attacking midfielder role.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804 will surely sustain his place in the Gunners midfield as a holding midfielder.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Attackers-c38555
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 started Arsenal’s last game against Chelsea and went on to score a crucial third goal to seal all three points for the Gunners. Theo Walcott’s impressive performance against Barclays Premier League champions will surely earn him a spot in the
starting eleven of tonight and he will sustain his place on the right wing.
