Cottagers catch us with our pants down?

[martymarts]

I know that we're all, well nearly all, on an amazing high, after Tuesday night, but Sunday will be here all too soon and we have an EPL to win back!

I've completely lost track of whose fit, injured, suspended, on loan, or just looking for a new club come January! Fulham took advantage of ManUre on an off day and they're a good enough team to do the same to us, if we take our eyes off the ball - so to speak (lol)!

I'm guessing AW will want to rest a few tired limbs. I think Gilberto will get the start alongside Rayzer, if PV4 is still not ready; to get him back up to speed after Brazil duty. I doubt he will rest Freddie when he is running into a decent spell of form, but Titi could be on the bench. I'll stick my neck out and say;

Lehman
Toure Campbell Cygan Cole
Ljuneberg Parlour Silva Clichey
Bergkhamp Kanu

Subs: Henry Aliadiere Pires Edu Keown Hoyte Vieira(?)

If there's anything to the truth that Henry's hamstring was feeling a little on the bad side then he should definitely not start. I see it all the time in Australian Rules Football where a player comes off with a slight cramp in their leg, goes back on and the Hamstring tears completely and you're without a star player for a month.

Rest the man, we'll still come away with points.

The players have to be totally professional on Sunday. They need to take the good performances in the last two games and build on them, not let up now. We have a run of games against the teams in the lower reaches of the league coming up and it's a chance to put some daylight between ourselves and Chelsea and Man Utd, at least one of whom will be dropping points on Sunday.

If Henry has a bit of a dodgy hamstring I'd start with Aliadiere and Bergkamp. I'd like to see Edu left in alongside Parlour, but Gilberto seems to be one of Wenger's favourites so I can see him being back in from the start.
