At last, The Gunners have a win under their belt and will be looking to end the season on a high with a string of victories, starting tonight. Manchester City travel to The Emirates this evening on a good run themselves as they look safe from the relegation dogfight. On paper, it should be an easy win for the home side but football is not played on paper, so don't be too surprised if City pull off an upset.
Arsenal have Freddie Ljungberg missing due to a hamstring injury but he is the only new worry for Mr Wenger. Abou Diaby is likely to deputise in a 5 man midfield with Adebayor up front. The other option is a 4-4-2 with Julio Baptista partnering the Togo striker. Cesc Fabregas will be full of confidence tonight, after hitting the back of the Premiership net for the first time this season, in the 2-1 win over Bolton on Saturday. The Spanish mifielder has also been nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year Award. Man City have in-form Belgian striker, Emile Mpenza doubtful but no more injury news for Stuart Pearce.
