So let's be honest, in the past we've dreaded going to Arsenal, and rightfully so. They've torn us apart on many occasions both home and away. However this time, I for one am quite confident we can get a result (I know, I know, keep quiet!). Sure, they're fantastic going forward, mesmerising at times, but they won't have faced a defence as mean as ours this season (as in a full strength defence, not a 3 man defence for 85 minutes like at home). Their defence can be shaky though and they do tend to concede soft goals. Even today against Birmingham, Blues had a couple of clear chances which, if converted, would have changed the game in my opinion. Then I got looking at their home results. They've hardly been imperious his season and we have been fantastic away from home on the whole and if we can get amongst their midfield like we did against Chelsea at our place then I really think we can do something. Carlos has been excellent away from home and if he plays Mario will be brimming with confidence after Tuesday, as if he needs any more confidence!
