Can Liverpool bounce back after their defeat to Arsenal?
Can United and Chelsea get back to winning ways?
Can Arsenal, Spurs, Villa and City keep pressure on the top 3?
Can Birmingham or Fulham climb ahead of a struggling Liverpool?
 
Burnley are good at home, but Arsenal have the quality to beat them quite easily.

Burnley are missing a few players iirc, as are Arsenal.

Walcott, has done nothing since his hat trick for England, I still don't know how he gets near the England squad a head of someone like Lennon.

I kind of agree with what DM is saying re Arshavin, if he's going to be playing up top he's got to start taking the many chances Arsenal normally make, esp now as they've not made as many.

Harsh! He's played about 10 games since then, Lennon has probably played in nearly 70 or so!

Maybe it is harsh, but he's not done anything to warrant getting near the England squad. He's been injured and when he's played look very poor.

He has a very long way to come.

That's not true, he was a completely different player before it and more reliable than any Arsenal striker of recent years.

No, he really wasn't more reliable then any Arsenal striker of recent years, 5 goals in 27? Not great form for a goalscorer.

Don't make him out to be what he wasn't.

It's a bad situation, the tackle clearly has taken the confidence out of him. Pity really because we've seen that he can do it (briefly).

Tackles like that do knock a players confidence, but I wouldn't say Arsenal had really seen the best of him, other then the odd glimpse.

He's scored 5 goals in 27 league games, hardly an amazing record?

Makes him the most reliable striker in recent times at Arsenala :p

To the people saying Eduardo wasn't good before the tackle, how much of him did you all watch? I assume not much but I could be wrong. Most Arsenal fans who are talking about him saw nearly every minute of him, and while we all do over-rate our own players a bit, he was a truly excellent finisher, one of the best in the business

Mods feel free to delete this if it's not allowed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gu4OD7Ul0Y there aren't that many players around that could do something like that

Youtube clips make most players look good :)

Eduardo might of been an excellent finisher but his record at Arsenal said otherwise. I saw enough of him to see what he was capable of, I just don't like how Arsenal fans are making him out to be some, great goal scoring machine they had up top when it wasn't true.

I'm not saying he wasn't a good player, he showed a few times that he had talent.
