A front three of Tévez, Silva and Ade would scare the Arsenal defence to death.
It certainly would but what ever way we look at it top players will not start this weekend

True Gooner,
I wouldn't worry too much about Andy Johnson at the weekend, as Fulham are playing West Brom.
However, ADAM Johnson may cause you a few problems, if selected.
That said, I would go with:
Hart
Boateng, Kompany, Kolo (Lescott), Bridge
.........................de Jong
............. YaYa................Barry/Milner
......Silva......................................Tévez
............................Adebayour

TBH if Kolo cant play, id rather see boyata at cb then lescott right now. the way lescott gets beat every time he gets pulled out is worrying. and also you cant pull people down in the penalty area and get away with it every time.. especially against the like of diving nasri and chamakh.

Tevez City said:He is on fire , so absolutely YESSSS

That midfield has no chance against arsenal, way too slow, without De Jong your midfield will really struggle

The reason he played the full 90 today is because he's not starting v Arsenal. Neither is Johnson. It will be 451 like we always do in the big games. Unfortunately however, it means Silva wont be in his best position and will be back on the right again. I fear that Lescott will play, but i hope we play Boateng in the centre. I'd go for Hart, Bridge/Zab, Boateng, Kompany, Richards, De Jong, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Tevez.

off course Tevez should start and so should Silva.
My point is we all know Adebayor loves to play against Arsenal and his confidence is sky high after scroing the three goals

As I see it, the players highlighted in blue will all start

I think we need a strong midfield against Arsenal, so i would NOT play 4-4-2.
We should play the same as we played against Chelsea, but I would start with Ade up front on his own instead of Tevez.
1. He can be unplayable on his day. If we get the unplayable Ade - instead of the can't be arsed, always offside Ade - he is as good as they come and can win the game for us.
2. His confidence will be sky high after last night.
3. He will surely play his heart out against Arsenal. Who could forget his performance in the game last year? Remember his run beating 3 or 4 players before passing to swp for him to slot it in an open net from 2 feet (which incredibly, he missed). Ade was awesome in that game.
4. Tevez looked VERY happy to be on the bench last night. He seems glad of the rest. I think he'd be happy to have Ade start and be ready to come on if needed.
5. When we play with 2 wingers, Ade is actually a more logical centre forward choice than Tevez. I doubt Tevez would have scored our 2nd last night.
