Robin van Persie was also inspired his two goals gave Arsenal a much-needed three points to the nervous Emirates

Preamble

Since his team conceded 16 goals in seven matches, Arsene Wenger seems surprisingly optimistic about his defense. Tony Adams could be the new "Per Mertesacker," oh, wait, Per Mertesacker may be the "new Tony Adams." Or something like that. And with Johan Djourou and Laurent Koscielny on their way back in top form, Wenger believes that his defense can not plug the holes. Now, considering the two were at the center of the defense that day chaotic at Old Trafford, you may need to give your rose-colored glasses a little cleaning and re-evaluate things. Thomas Vermaelen could make a difference if they return, the spirit, but it is still a couple of weeks, and given the amount of time that has been output, you can take a while to get the type of form, showed when he signed a couple of years. Wenger's greatest challenge will be how to strengthen the right side of the point of Bacary Sagna broke his leg. Carl Jenkinson, despite his promise, had no experience in League Champions with Charlton, so you request a change, Sagna was a device to Arsenal for years, is a great question.

mind, things are not so rosy in Sunderland. Level meeting room of the club is unstable, Steve Bruce is under intense pressure after the big spending and delivering little, and fans are understandably offended.
Good omen for the Mackems, however, is that the last time Arsenal won the day (in 1983), the flight took place Brinks Mat. There was another huge flight this year was important in this newsroom. My colleague Jacob Steinberg IPod was stolen ... GUARDIAN IN TOURS! Yes, you may think that these offices are a utopian paradise of the world without evil, but no one is safe. I stuck to my mouse for everything it's worth (£ 10) if a bad light finger goes to work when I slept in the first half.

Well, it is almost time for the kickoff. Especially for Lee Cattermole. I hope you will try to break the game in midfield as soon as possible. My prediction is a reserve Cattermole in 25 minutes. You can not help it. Arteta is probably the use of two pairs of socks at the ankles.

Goal! Sunderland 1-0 Arsenal (Van Persie 1 minute):

Van Persie produced a wonderful piece of skill.

Rosicky is like that kid in the sixth sense? "I realized that Rosicky has not been proposed to see the ball into the net on the free throw, but he had a knowing look on his face.

I know he has a stick in the game Man U MOTD for that. "

Reflecting on the highlights of the first half is extraordinary that Arsenal went from level. There was only one football team to play until Larsson free-kick.
