Injuries are piling up again Abou Diaby will now miss the game with a <a title=\"Abou Diaby adds to Arsenal growing injury list \" href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/sport1\/hi\/football\/teams\/a\/arsenal\/9429445.stm\" target=\"_blank\">groin strain<\/a> which he probably\u00a0sustained during training, they reckon it&#8217;s only short term and it&#8217;s\u00a0a matter of days. Diaby is definitely not having a good season, he failed to impress so far and is out injured again. So it looks like Denilson will play alongside Wilshere. Denilson in definitely not a defensive midfielder we all know that but he hasn&#8217;t played a lot of games this season so let&#8217;s get behind him even though he hasn&#8217;t been that great, perhaps he needs playing time to improve, he certainly doesn&#8217;t look like the player from last season. We will definitely miss our backbone of Cesc, Song, Djourou and Walcott but I honestly belive that we have enough in the tank to beat The Baggies and make up for what happened at The Emirates earlier in the season.<\/p>\n<p>I would like for Nasri to start in the middle this time around, he seems less effective on the left, Bendtner out wide with Van Persie in the middle and Arshavin on the right. With this selection Wilshere and Denilson behind Nasri. With Djourou out Squilliaci will pair Koscienly at the center of our defence so it looks like a complete French outlet there with Sanga and Clichy on the flanks.<\/p>\n<p>Baggies will try their best to gain points themselves they are certainly not safe yet, there are two points away from\u00a0relegation zone, so they will give us a game no doubt. I&#8217;m confident though that with our quality we can take all three points and keep our title run very much alive. We know we can go level on points with Man U and hopefully for a change we can take this opportinty and use it to our advantage.<\/p>\n<p>We need to dig deep, no room for error and complacancy, every Priemier Lague game becomes a Cup game now.\u00a0\u00a0I would like to sit down later on tonight with a smile on my face, knowing that we are still strongly in the title race. I&#8217;m sure the away fans will get behind whoever runs out onto that pitch in few hours time as always they have been really great this season, hats off to them.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be doing my bit from home, so let&#8217;s get beihind them all and hope for we can bring those prercious three points back home.<\/p>\n<p>COME ON YOU REDS&#8230;!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is not a lot you can add to the title of this post, it&#8217;s an absolute must for us to bring home maximum points later on this afternoon.
