I would definitely start Theo, and Giroud too. I'd like to see Cazorla get some rest and come off of the bench in the 2nd half if things go sour, but he will probably start. It will be interesting to see what Wenger does at LB - if he does not play Santos, can we believe that he, too, does not rate him anymore? hmm

I just want to see Arshavin play 30-40 minutes and Coquelin to start.
I honestly believe that the major issue apart from our attack is the lack of a defensive midfielder with a large work rate. Arteta lacks any real attributes of a DM and it's not his fault it is what Wenger has asked him to do.

Arshavin for Cazorla.. Thumbs up

Cazorla is looking tired.. A rest will do him good..
even with Cazorla we had how many shots or chances ? Hardly any.. So Arshavin must get a chance in his position..

when is my favourite player back ? Missing his high energy performances... We can play him centrally and Cazorla on the right.. hmm

If he starts Ramsey over Theo I predict a 0-1 to Fulham.

If Theo starts a 2-0 win.

Not a Ramsey hater btw, he's just so poor lately he can't be picked until he gets some confidence back. He's no wide player too. Needs to play CM or nowhere imo.

Huge boost to have Rosicky back when he eventually returns to the first-team squad. We have missed him in my opinion. Last season, him, Arteta and Song were excellent at times in the midfield three.

Having Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho & Arshavin all on the bench will give us options over festive period.

I am not all that confident about tomorrow, but i should be since we are at home. Fulham have gone stronger this season and have some quality players in their side with Ruiz and Berbatov. Their defence is very solid as well which will mean if they score early, it will be a long day. But if ( hopefully ) score early, it will be an open game and will suit us as long as Santos doesn't come on with Gear 6.

I'd go with the same back 4 as against Schalke but i have a feeling Santos might play. With Wilshere injured, Coquelin would be a good option indeed since Arteta would then be able to move forward. Perhaps we can play Arshavin instead of Santi ? But that won't go well with the fans.

Theo is a must, Giroud is a must too. Giroud is getting better with each game, finally showing his montpellier form.

Hopefully a good scoreline. Will take anything though apart from a defeat or a draw

John Cross ‏@johncrossmirror

Switch of referee from Andre Marriner to Phil Dowd for #afc v #ffc game.

Ian Ridley ‏@IanRidley1

@johncrossmirror Apparently Andre Marriner recently did a training day with Fulham so was deemed inappropriate for him to ref them today.

Marriner is twice the ref Dowd is :facepalm:

Phil Dowd

Marriner is the only decent ref in the Prem. Not flashy, you never notice him and he's not intimidated by managers or home crowds. Makes the odd mistake, but not many.

Perhaps he needs to be a 'look at me' ref to get noticed by the FA to get picked for World Cups etc.

I can see the point in him not refereeing today. Dowd is bloody useless though.
