Arsenal returned to the title race with an impressive derby win over Manchester United and the players will enter this match in high spirits. Wenger’s young guns once again impressed in the Carling Cup and some of them are pushing for the places in the first team. Villa’s two successive defeats saw them fall down the Premiership standings and the visitors will be eager to end the poor run at the Emirates.

The Gunners pulled off a great result against Manchester United, thus ending the poor run of results. This will be another opportunity for Wenger to see some of his young stars in action and also rest the first team regulars. Wigan was unable to end the poor run of results, having taken just point against Stoke and they will try to surprise Arsenal and make it to the next round.

Another big derby gets underway on Saturday as both Arsenal and Manchester looking to stay close to the leaders. Arsenal is in a lot of problems and they failed to win the last three games and the Gunners will see this match as a chance to kick-start their season. United is slowly reaching the desired form and they will be very motivated to win this match and put extra pressure on Chelsea and Liverpool. Both teams have some problems with injuries but Arsene Wenger is in much more difficult position than his counterpart.

Arsenal is top of the group after convincing victory in Turkey and the Gunners will be hoping to take another three points here. Both teams will play derby games this weekend and it will be interesting to see if the managers will rest dome of the stars. Arsenal lost the last league game to Stoke, while Fenerbahce were held to a draw by Eskisehir.

Stoke managed to escape from the relegation zone with a win over Sunderland and they will wait the game with Arsenal in high spirits. Arsenal failed to beat their biggest rivals Tottenham at the Emirates, as they conceded two goals in the dying moments of the game, which finished 4:4. The Gunners want to make things right and take all three points from the Britannia Stadium.

This is certainly the biggest game of the round, as fierce rivals Arsenal and Tottenham will battle for the precious points. Arsenal battled hard to earn all three points against West Ham and the win in this match could get them back in the title race. Tottenham’s first win of the season couldn’t have come in the better time and the atmosphere in the team will be considerably improved before the North London derby.

West Ham suffered their second consecutive defeat at the hands of Hull, but the Hammers should have taken more from the game. They will have a difficult job against in-form Arsenal but the hosts will be looking to win this match. Arsenal’s youngsters are maturing and they trashed Fenerbahce at their Sukru Saracoglu stadium. They want all three points that would get them closer to the duo at the top.

Fenerbahce is awful this season even though they have a very good team and a very experienced coach in Luis Aragones. They have only one point in this group so far and only a win would keep them in the running for top two places. Arsenal has been inconsistent this season but they managed few great results, like the one when they trashed Porto 4:0. They will try to take advantage of the opponents’ problems and win the game.

Arsenal is slowly falling behind and they rescued a point in the last round against Newcastle. If they slip up once again they could find themselves far away from the top. Everton is also underperforming and they do not look like the team from last year. They are without a win in their last five matches and The Emirates is not the place where they should be looking to end that run.

Sunderland has been going through some rough period, but the team is confident in top table finish, and they will give their best to win this game. Arsenal had the remarkable recovery after the shock defeat from Hull, as they trashed Porto 4:0 in the Champions League. The Gunners need to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, and this is the perfect opportunity for that.
