WELL DAMMIT!!!!!!!
I AM EXPERIENCING UNKNOWN TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, PROBABLY MY ADOBE PLUGIN HAS CRASHED BUT ALL MY HARD WORK HAS BEEN UNDONE AND MY POST HAS VANISHED IN THIN AIR!!!!!!! AND NOW MY POST IS 45 MINUTES LATE!!
After a disappointing and bizarre match last week against Newcastle, tonight we welcome Wolves who by the way beat Man United, also last week thus ending their unbeaten season run.
Earlier today, United have beaten Man City in their derby match and they have gone 7 points clear off the top. It now looks like the title is United's to lose but we have seen that Chelsea have been similarly in a very strong position at the start of the season to falter and well, you never know. What we can do from our part is put in a good performance and take the three points that are in offer today and put pressure on the leaders by closing the gap.
Wolves gave us a tough time in the corresponding fixture last season and we barely scrapped to a win when we visited Molineux earlier in the season. They will be upbeat having beaten United and they'll try to capitalize from long balls and set pieces. From our point of view, I hope the international break has given the players a welcome respite from last week's shenanigans and we pick ourselves up and show a strong response. I'm glad Arsene has chosen a strong line up and we should look for full points as well as no injuries. I also hope the boys have learnt a lesson and we don't get provoked by Wolves into doing something silly again.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Fabregas, Wilshere, Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin

Tactics:
Goalkeeping/Defence: Szczesny has apologized for conceding four goals in the second half in the last match and I hope he is a bit more commanding in the box. Wolves will likely follow what Newcastle did and pump in long balls in the box. Djourou is thankfully is fit to play after picking up a knock in the last game and his aerial presence was badly missed late on in that match. Hope Koscielny, Clichy and Sagna can pick themselves up and put in good defensive shifts tonight.
Midfield: Alex Song returns after a short injury layoff and he'll provide us with more steel in the midfield. Hope Jack and Cesc keep the midfield ticking and fine tune in the lead up to the Barca match.
Attack: Well, we have been concentrating on the events of the second half for sometime, and we have certainly missed out on a great first half in which we did almost everything right and swept the Geordies away. Robin and Theo were fantastic and hope they continue their scintillating form. Arshavin has been on the mend for the past few games and he should look to continue doing the right things.
Subs: I'd bring on Bendtner, Denilson and Chamakh/Eboue.
Final Prediction:
A nervy 2-1 win for Arsenal.
