89

TWO MINUTES LEFT: Plus stoppage time. How much will that be?

76

Yellow Card POOR CHALLENGE BY FABIO: He lunges into Wilshere and Foy has the card drawn before he arrives on the scene

It's a beautiful afternoon in north London and the atmosphere is heating up. What are your predictions for this one? Let Dan and David know via www.arsenal.com/studio.
So Aaron Ramsey will make only his second start of the season. The Wales midfielder came off the bench against Bolton last weekend and seeing him back in the starting XI is great news for all Arsenal fans.
Cesc picked up an injury in training yesterday and that’s why he is not involved today. The subs are: Lehmann, Squillaci, Arshavin, Eboue, Gibbs, Chamakh, Bendtner
The Arsenal team is in, and here it is: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Ramsey, Nasri, Van Persie
