Rosicky injury may end Arsenal career

Bournemouth are a good team and at home they will test even the best of sides so I am expecting a lot from this match not only for entertainment, but also an indication of how good the teams are. His goal at Crystal Palace in the week was a glimpse of what he is capable of, and he is part of an attacking line-up that will surely pose problems for an away defence that has looked somewhat shaky in recent times. “We have to focus on how to respond quickly and win our next game, that’s all we can do”.

And this was Arsenal’s fourth game in a row where we dropped points so it isn’t just being unlucky!

Per Mertesacker could return to the starting eleven after only being named among the substitutes in midweek while Theo Walcott and Francis Coquelin are also pushing for recalls.

Arsenal have a fresh injury concern in Tomas Rosicky, who could now miss three months after picking up a thigh injury against Burnley in the FA Cup.

After months of being out due to injury, Danny Welbeck played in a competitive football match today for the Arsenal U21s. If you combined those two bets in a score-cast then we get very tempting odds of 30/1.

Will he find the Premier League easy? Benik has done that in the past and now he is ready to play in the Premier League.

The Gunners are still missing the other half of the central midfield partnership which performed so well in the first half of the season – Santi Cazorla – but Ramsey has proven a worthy alternative.

It’s a hard path to go down, as Manchester United showed after their struggles following the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, and Arsenal fans are keen to ensure that they don’t follow that route. The Cherries’ record signing looks to be a shrewd piece of business by Eddie Howe, and his goals could keep the club in the Premier League.

If Arsenal fail to score, it will be four Premier League matches without a goal for the first time since February 2009 and equal their longest run without a goal in the competition. Because of that I fancy Bournemouth to get a point. The disappointing 0-0 draw against Southampton, despite having 10 shots on target, has made this nothing short of a must win game for the Gunners. “I can feel that in the games sometimes, yes”, Wenger said.

Mesut Ozil opened the scoring after the talismanic German latched onto a knock down from Olivier Giroud to rifle the ball into the net after 23 minutes.
