Shakhtar Donetsk v Arsenal
Shakhtar Donetsk v Arsenal kicks off tonight at 1945GMT and you can watch the game on Sky. It should be an interesting match up, even though I’m expecting to see an Arsenal victory.
The only worrying bit of pre match news it that Fabregas has been ruled of the game with a strain injury. Wenger expects him to be back for the home game against Newcastle on Saturday but there’s no chance he’ll feature in tonights Champions League tie.
Other players ruled out through injury include Denilson, Arshavin and Song.
We managed to be Shakhtar 5-1 in the home leg of this tie but tonight looks set to be a lot closer. I think still think we’ve got what it takes to win the match and VC bet have us priced up at 7/4 for the win which looks good value to me.
I’m expecting to see some majic from Theo Walcott tonight and it’s starting to look like he’s finally found the form we knew he was capable of when we signed him. His two goals against Newcastle last week should mean he’s coming into tonights game on a high note. He’ll be on the score sheet tonight!
Come on the GUNNERS!
