League ON or GONE for Arsenal

At least third time in season, its on or gone aka do or die situation for Arsenal. First up against ManU, we stood up to challenge and got the result in style. Second time, away against chelsea wasn't very comfortable but persie's brace within 6 minutes got us the result.
But we are arsenal and we never learn and if we will, i don't know when. After drawing with Boro, when we should have castrated ourselves for dropping ponts against second half of table, we are in a desperate position to make a come back again, otherwise it will be surely too late for
this season.

The result of this match is going to be important for all the top four (or top five?). Currently, the top 5 standings are as follows:

Teams Played Points
Liverpool 17 38
Chelsea 17 37
Aston Villa 18 34
Man United 16 32
Arsenal 17 30


The Chelsea (and fans) would be surely watching this one. If its a win for Arsenal today, gooners cant even rest after that. Given the fact, chelsea is playing on monday, the lead could still stretch to 7 points. But if they draw with toffees, 5 teams within 6 points!
It could potentially be a nail-biting rest of the season for all the top 4 teams fans. Isn't it? I believe Villa would hang around but would surely drop enough points to stay at fifth.


Liverpool is missing Torres. So, Rafa would surely start with keane. And Arsenal is without Walcott. Nasri is back and Eboue is there too. Who Arsene will go for on right flank - Denilson or Eboue ? I guess Arsene will stick to Denilson.

None of the gooners have forgotten the Champions League Q/F exit against Liverpool. Its still as livid in every gooner's memory as sun is in the sky. The match is also an occasion to celebrate 20th year anniversary of 1989 famous night at Anfield. So we would be seeing a lot of yellow gooners.
Moreover, God who was a Gunner, would be glued to TV. His name is Thierry Henry !

My prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal (with Nasri and Persie on scoresheet)

So, its do-or-die, chance to rake revenge, anniversary and God's blessings - WHAT ELSE YOU NEED GUNNERS ?
