Portsmouth 1 (Belhadj 74) – Arsenal 4 (Eduardo 28, Nasri 42, Ramsey 69, Song 81)
An in-form Arsenal side travel south to take on Portsmouth this evening at Fratton Park. The high flying Gunners are unbeaten in their last five matches (having drawn one and won the rest) and come into the match with spirits high after a confident win against Aston Villa on Sunday. Pompey, meanwhile, sit at the bottom of the Premiership ladder having earned just fourteen points from nineteen matches.
Arsenal 3 (Fabregas 65, 81, Diaby 90+1) – Aston Villa 0
For the second successive season, Arsenal will face Aston Villa during the Christmas holiday period. This time, though, the venue will be the Gunners’ Emirates stadium and today’s hosts will be looking to stop Martin O’Neill’s side from replicating their exploits in North London last year by toppling the high-flying Villans.
Arsenal 3 (Denilson 45+4, Eduardo 59, Diaby 80) – Hull City 0
To say Hull city manager Phil brown is ‘controversial’ is a massive understatement. The Tigers boss will be returning to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since the controversial ’spit spat’ that allegedly occurred between Cesc Fabregas and Brown’s assistant Brian Horton. Cesc was let off immediately by the FA, yet Phil Brown remains a much-maligned figure amongs the Arsenal faithful, and for good reason. |
