Arsenal vs Blackburn- A win is a must now for Gunners!

Four matches. One draw. Two lost and one win. This is how our season has started. But no more silly mistakes or sloppiness. Its time to get back in to the premiership. The champions are rolling ahead. The Manchester clubs are showing no mercy. The action is back this saturday and Blackburn Rovers will be hosting Arsenal this time.



The homeside:
First lets talk about the home side. Blackburn was taken over by the Indian owners last year. But sadly for them their start to season is worst than Arsenal with only one draw and three loses. The pressure will be on home side thus. But the more you press the opposition the harder it will recoil. So we should expect that the home side will give in their everything for this game. More over blackburn is currently in mayhem with their fans rallying against Steve Keane.The Lancashire club has been disappointing in the Premier League, earning only one point from the opening four games, and currently sits bottom of the table, with supporters now set to voice their frustration.The line up I see in the coming game will be the same as against Fulham. One good edge with the Rovers is that they have Pederson who can give a long throw right in front of goal post. Arsenal must be pretty tight at the back. We are most vulnerable at set pieces. At the back they are pretty good to with the muscle of Samba.


Our Team:
After getting good results against Dortmund, Wenger's men are ready to take on the Rovers with the renewed confidence. Gervinho and Song would be available again as the ban time period comes to an end. That will change the entire game tactics. But we have lost Ramsey to injury list. But reinforcements are already their in the midfield with Arteta taking the lead role in leading the midfield. He will probably be accompanied by Beneyoun who made his starting debut in champions league match for the club. Arsenal need to bring their style of play in to the game again sooner rather than later. Winning this game is of utmost importance. A draw or a lose could bring us to our knees. A new hope i coming to our side. This match is crucial for that hope to stay in our hearts and minds.
The players look confident. There is new buzz going around in the club. A new exciting phase has arrived in the club.



The Bottomline: Though I want Arsenal to win this by margin but I see a tough game ahead. But keeping in view the statistics I can say the gunners will win this by 2-1. There will be a tough game with goals coming from RVP and Walcott. From Blackburn I think Hoilett will be looking at his name on the score board. So lets see what saturday got for us.
