Francis Coquelin: Dealing with Knee Injury

It is in the League Cup though, a competition that is seen as a second string competition.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is targetting more goals this season, saying that his finishing and placement is something he needs to work on.

The first is a night Arsenal fans will want to forget as their neighbours sent them packing from White Hart Lane with their tails between their legs after a 5-1 thrashing in 2008.

How are Spurs getting on?

“We felt that the alternative was to get them out and have them play somewhere”.

But Seaman trusts Wenger and thinks he may dip into the transfer market when the window reopens in the new year, using some of the cash reserve of £193.1m revealed last week by financial figures for Arsenal’s parent company. “I don’t know yet if he will be involved tomorrow but we will see”.

“It doesn’t matter our excellent record against Arsenal, they have not beaten us for seven or eight games apart from the Community Shield”.

Wenger started the 26-year-old up front as the lone striker and although he was a threat early on – indeed he forced Begovic into a save in the 28th minute with his low shot – he regularly struggled to get the better of Zouma and Cahill to score. “We are on a good run in the Premier League and it’s important now to look at that”. Nobody can play 60 games per season any more. How much of a priority is it?

“I lost to Blackburn in 2002 as a young player and you think the chance is going to come around every year and it didn’t for me”.

Is the rivalry as strong as ever?

It is a very important season because of how he is growing.

Aaron Ramsey is a special player, it is just a matter of prolonging those special qualities for more than a game or two.

“[Iwobi] is in and out a little bit because we travel a lot”. It isn’t losing significance at all. Alli could start against Arsenal and he could have a telling impact on the game. If he isn’t, who is?

He has not yet settled on his starting lineup or whether South Korean Son Heung-min, who has scored three times in the last two matches, will play. They’ll all be big attacking threats on Wednesday.

My argument would be that Arsenal are at their best when both of these valuable players are in the team, which leaves Wenger really with only one option.

The Argentine coach believes that such a disappointing experience will help his squad to fight to reach the final again this season, reports the Evening Standard.
