Not really. He is only out for a few days and I don't think he would have started at Juventus particularly with no weekend game. Senderors and Toure are the future, Sol isn't.

Yeah, I know those 2 are the future. But we're talking about an important CL match here, against a great opposition. Had he been fit would you still pick Senderos ahead of Sol? :)

If he had been fit and in form, yes. But he hasn't been fit or in form this season.

At present I'd pick Senderos over Sol as he's not had any first team match practice in a long time. Also, coupled with the importance and pressure of the clash Wenger would be mad to alter the back four.
 
The biggest match of the year for me, on all levels. I anticipate tomorrows Highbury battle more than any other game thus far.
The lagers are in the fridge, the Nachos and Salsa dips are in the drawer and my armchair will be centre-room-screen facing as of 1900 GMT tomorrow night.

I'ts a tough match to call, both teams will be fired up and they go into the match in good form - Obviously I, like most, favour Arsenals European/Domestic form of late having watched Juve scrap it out against Bremen and their performance against Roma past Saturday was tepid. Key players for me will be (Arsenal : Henry, Fabregas, Senderos, Hleb and Gilberto (Will be a very interesting to watch the battle between him and Vieira))(Juve : Trezeguet, Vieira, Nedved and Emerson).
Home advantage needs to be seized by the Gunners - I would expect them to come out blazing from the off and really take the game to them, get the crowd very vocal and look for ways through early on. Other than that, I expect a serious midfield battle and fast pace all the way - I will be dreadfully disappointed if Juve cause an upset for us but I am full of hope and belief that it's the next team to beat on the way to Paris.

I Predict 2-0 Arsenal.

I've got tickets for the game but might not be able to go as my sister doesn't want to go :mad: . I'm going to try to persuade her to go tomorrow.

I'm feeling quite confident about the game hopefully we'll keep a clean sheet as I can definately see us scoring away.

He was really off form from what I saw of the second half tonight, passes like a sawn off shotgun.
 
Got a real buzz when I woke up this morning, Champions League is something special:)

Anyone know of Reyes is playing tonight, or in the squad? I read somewhere he was injured but somewhere else he was playing. :confused:

10 Hours to go. :D
 
He's in the squad. With Ljungberg injured I'd expect Reyes to figure particularly if we play 4-5-1. I'd go with 4-4-2 with Hleb on the right, Cescsational Cesc and Gilberto in the middle and Reyes on the left. The RvP and Henry together up top.
 
For some reason i'm feeling very confident about Juve. I think we'll win 2 - 0 tonight and will score on the away leg to seal the win :D.

I'd love to see a 4-4-2 with RvP and Henry up top if RvP is fit enough but have a feeling we'll play with just Henry up front. With Hleb and Reyes in midfield we have lots of pace coming forward anyway so as long as they do we should be ok.

If Juventus win I wouldn't call it an upset, I'd say Arsenal beating Juventus would be the upset, however, I believe Arsenal stand a hell of a chance.

I predict 1-1.

I don't mind Arsenal, they have won me around with the determination they are showing, heart was something they lacked before, Arsenal have that now and I respect any team that has that. I was truly gutted when Liverpool won the European Cup but I would not begrudge Arsenal to go the whole way.

At the start of the season I said Arsenal or Lyon would win it :).

Predictions:
Tuesday, 28 March
Arsenal v Juventus, 1 - 1
Benfica v Barcelona, 0 - 1

Wednesday, 29 March
Inter Milan v Villarreal, 1 - 0
Lyon v AC Milan, 3 - 1
