I expect Aguero to start on Sunday, Kompany too.

Pellegrini said Aguero only fully trained for 2 days before the Everton game and photos were taken of him when he had his final check up on the Wednesday. It must have been very low risk for him to play considering he played almost 30 minutes.

Compare this to Dzeko who has been back in training for longer who wasn't risked on the bench. Less chance of Aguero's injury reoccurring than a standard muscle injury.

The only players Arsenal have with the mentality to hack players down are Flamini and Arteta, neither do a good job at it and both are injured anyway.

The reason Arsenal don't win the league is because they don't have much top quality when it comes to fighting/ grafting players.

Flat-track bullies.

Chelsea bullied them at the Bridge and they couldn't cope.

Flamini is out I think mate.

They were discussing after the Arsenal game on SKY that Ramsey will probably play the holding role against us.

Silva would probably kick fuck out of their entire team with one hand behind his back.

I hope thats true

Flamini was on the bench against Stoke, and i think Ramsey was as well so perhaps they will both play

Either way i can't see anything other than us giving them a good seeing to

I do think this is a key game in our title chase because if Chelsea win again at weekend and we only manage a draw or at worst a loss we could be going into the Chelsea game with us potentially going behind 4 or 7 points with a draw or loss to Chelsea.

Chelsea let slip an 8 point lead before but I don't see them doing it again so a win against Arsenal is absolute priority.

I think Fernandinho and Fernando in the middle of the park could really rough up Arsenal, those attacking players of theirs don't like that one bit and seem to crumble a little when they get bullied.

Agüero should relish playing against that defence of theirs as well, hopefully he has got himself up to speed a bit more.
