Arsenal is still not safe in the 3rd position in Barclay Premier League. With 67 points, they are just one point ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth and two points of Newcastla in fifth position.

Arsenal still will play an away match against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Sunday (05/13/2012), in the last match Premier League this season. If successful victory, then a successful Champions League tickets in hand. Tottenham will play against Fulham in White Hart Lane and Newcastle will play with Everton in Goodison Park. 


With some player that got injured, Arsenal must play with all spirit and focus to finish in 3rd position this season. Arsenal will play offense to get victory over WBA. Trio attacker RvP, Gervinho and Oxlade Chamberlain may be play from the beginning to maximize Arsenal's attack. For the trio midfielder will be more solid and strong with Alex Song, Tomas Rosicky and Yossi Benayoun. They are midfielder that have high spirit, good movement and very compact in filling the position one to another. For defender quartet may be filled by Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny and Coquelin / Djourou.

Total attack is mandatory choice for Arsenal to pursue victory. So stay focused for the position 3 Gunners!
My prediction: WBA 0 - 2 Arsenal!!
