Arsene Wenger is likely to play 4-4-2 against PSV tonight as the Dutch team is unlikely to be that adventurous. PSV have rarely gone on all out attack against the Gunners, but they can be dangerous on the counter attack.
The probable Arsenal line up is
Jens LEHMANN, Johan DJOUROU, Kolo TOURE , William GALLAS, Gael CLICHY, Tomas ROSICKY, GILBERTO, Cesc FABREGAS, Alexander HLEB, Thierry HENRY, and Emmanuel ADEBAYOR.
Substitutes : Philippe SENDEROS, Fredrik LJUNGBERG, Julio BAPTISTA, DENILSON, Mathieu FLAMINI, Manuel ALMUNIA (GK), Jeremie ALIADIERE
Arsenal have a good record against PSV, two wins and two draws. Apart from one away game, where Arsenal caught them cold winning 4-0, these are usually low scoring games. Until this weekend PSV were in poor form, but they rarely lose at home (only twice this season). We did hold them to a draw with nine men, when Paddy and Lauren were sent off, they then did actually try to attack, but Freddy’s towering presence in defence was too much for them.
Man to Watch: Leading scorer Farfan scored his 16th goal of the season at the weekend.
Man they may want to watch: In the 2002-03 Champions League group phase Gilberto found the back of the net after 20 seconds. Arsenal won that game 4-0 in Eindhoven through goals by Gilberto, Freddy and two from Thierry Henry. Everything went right that night – lightening doesn’t strike twice – does it?
To make sure it doesn’t PSV are promising to make it as hard as possible for the Gunners.
