Arsenal vs Man Utd This week, big match!
Woah woah... take it easy, let's take one match at a time shall we? Aston Villa first!! Then again I'm going to reply to the prediction that Casanova made right below.

Prediction:
Arsenal 0 - MU 2 (Rooney & Giggs)
Reasons:
- Mentally & Physically MU is stronger than Arsenal
- Rooney is on top form compared to Fab
- Diaby will be the man behind the lost
Looking at the Bolton matches, I would be inclined to say that we won't lose to Man Utd in terms of mental strength. And while I agree that Man Utd are physically stronger than us, knowing their football style they probably won't rough us up as much as Bolton and Stoke do, hence I believe that we would be able to cope.
I haven't been watching Man Utd matches so I won't comment on whether Rooney's form is better than Fab's but watching how Arshavin, Eduardo and Fabs beginning to strike an understanding in the final third and with Rosicky's directness and his ability and willingness to take his shots quickly, it would be quite a handful for the Man Utd defenders, or at least I hope so.
As for Diaby, the major flaw that he had previously was his inconsistency. On his day he's a world beater and no one could possibly take the ball away from his feet, but more often than not we ended up with the other Diaby - lazy, slow on the ball and playing sloppily. However lately he's beginning to find his consistency, this would be a good opportunity to show that he's also a big game player, hopefully he'll grab this chance with both hands and show us why Le Boss always has faith in him.
And of course, Song is back to shield the back four again!!!
