Arsenal vs Sunderland; remember we still have this game to play

We've a massive game coming up. And then after that we have Barcelona in the Nou Camp.

Just remember that. I feel the focus is mainly on our upcoming Champions League with Barcelona. But we first we have Sunderland at the Emirates, with a chance to apply some pressure on Manchester United and close the gap to one point. A big incentive. If we go full tilt, we will win this Premier League.

We have a few injury concerns. Alex Song is struggling. Theo and Robin van Persie are out and I'd suspect Cesc, even if fit, will sit this one out. This is a must win for us, we have to take one game at a time.

Following on from Wednesday, Chamakh and Bendtner will be vital. I think only one of them will start, and Bendtner will most likely get the chance to add to his hat trick by leading the line. I'd play Bendtner wide right, Chamakh through the middle and drop Nasri into the Cesc role but Wenger seems reluctant to put Samir there at times. Tomas Rosicky may get another chance, he done alright on Wednesday but still has to improve greatly. Despite injuries, we still have options. I just hope Wenger uses the right ones. I'm hearing Sunderland have a few injury concerns, but we should focus on our own team and I'm sure we will be fine.

Some good injury news is the return of Aaron Ramsey. Don't forget last season he was probably ahead of Jack Wilshere in terms of playing ability, so it will be interesting to see how he fits in. A partnership of Jack and Aaron could work. Not only work, but destroy teams.

Interesting news from Man City and Kolo Toure has been suspending for taking drugs. Hopefully it's nothing to serious.

It could be a great weekend for us, let's hope Liverpool do us a favour. But first, we must do our own business.
