Our last home game of the season sees us take on a struggling Villa who could in theory still be relegated. I have to admit I wouldn't mind seeing them go down as I'm no Villa fan. Despite their poor position they're squad boasts some good players. Ashley Young is a threat down the wing and can turn on the pace which unless our defence are on the ball could cause mayhem. Former yid Darren Bent leads the Villa strike force, partnered with the out of form Agblonahor.
From an Arsenal point of view we look to be without player of the season Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas who are both doubtful. I would imagine Walcott and Ramsey will fill in should they both fail their late tests. On a better note it looks as though Thomas Vermaelen will make his first appearance in what seems like an age as Koscielny picked up a knock last week. This is the sort of defender we need and have desperately missed this season.
So we are still 'eyeing second' according to Wenger but I think we need to win just to secure third and avoid Champions League qualifiers again next season. Tomorrow looking at the form should be a game where will go in huge favourites, but as we all know with Arsenal that means nothing. For fans who aren't happy with the recent news of ticket price rises a protest ha been planned outside the stadium before the game.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Aston Villa
