Well placed third bottom of the table, they need miracle to come back and win the match against us.
Still remember at the end of December last year, Wigan did snatched our three precious points even though they are playing with 10 men.
Take a look at Arsenal's previous line up at The DW Stadium on 29 Dec, 2010.
Fabianski
Sagna - Squillaci - Koscielny - Eboue
Diaby - Rosicky - Denilson - Arshavin
Chamakh - Bendtner
Wenger had should at least plays either one of them in the line up to move thing around, even though Nasri and Walcott being brought in in the last 10 minutes but it was too late.
The sign of disaster are well seen when Wigan took a lead in the 17 minute by Ben Watson through a penalty kick.
We saw the weaknesses at the back four and while in the midfield is lack of power to conquer the area and the match ends up with a draw. We closed the year 2010 with a massive setback which put us further from the leader.
We go and take a look at the line up on the first day of new year against Birmingham City.
Fabianski
Sagna - Djourou - Koscielny - Clichy
Song - Wilshere
Walcott - Fabregas - Nasri - Van Persie
It is clearly shown that these four players are so important and their contribution in each of our match was so vital.
We had the same player in the line up against City and once again it is well proved now Nasri, Fabregas, Wilshere and Song are the best midfield that we had with our back four also performing with excellence.
We had Van Persie back on his feet, Walcott had his superb run, Djourou had settle down good with Koncielny and Sagna, Song and Wilshere communicate efficiently, Nasri and Fabregas back to back action was magnificent and I never saw both of them feels tired at all.
With City plays defensively and there are really at that time, but their records shows the other way when they plays other team where they concede a goal almost every match they played.
And we are right about Mancini plan's for a draw are well prepared earlier before the match to earn them a single point which took them second in the league table.
Then we move to the FA Cup match against Leeds United at home, once again our line up shown an early sign of our weaknesses.
Szczesny
Eboue - Squillaci - Djourou - Gibbs
Song - Denilson
Bendtner - Rosicky - Chamakh - Arshavin
And perhaps Eboue would benefit this opportunity to get himself back on his feet due to three match suspension on Sagna.
However we are lucky to run away with a draw, where the penalty was converted well by Fabregas in the final minutes of the match.
Szczesny
Sagna - Koscielny - Djourou - Gibbs
Song - Denilson
Nasri
Arshavin - Bendtner - Chamakh
It's all going well with Nasri scores the first goal and we never looking back throughout the match.
The last match that we had to look into now is the semifinal first leg against Ipswich Town.
Szczesny
Eboue - Djourou - Koscielny - Gibbs
Wilshere - Denilson
Fabregas
Walcott - Bendtner - Arshavin
Wilshere was not able to support Eboue as what Song used to do, Denilson too was not up to your expectation when he get back into the penalty box, therefore we had only Fabregas to lead the midfield where his roles in need of supports was far back to entertain the defence.
As we entertain Wigan at home today, such mistakes should not be happening again. While Wenger must be alert on such factors if Arsenal want to maintain their winning touch.
So far our momentum and forms are very highly rated to win this match unless Wenger goes back to his crazy ideas.
I don't want to draft any new formation for today's match, as all the info that we are talking about is good enough to convinced each of you.
Go for the best and wrap up the match as earlier as we could to stay focus on Ipswich which will lead us to the Wembley.
Arsenal will win 4 - 0 with Nasri stamp his first hattrick in the premier league in this season and with Szczesny still firm at the goal post, another clean sheet will be achieve.
