Beware the attack of
Arsenal!
Van Persie,
Arshavin,
Eduardo,
Fabregas...the list goes on.
Arsenal have always been known for their attacking play, but have really stepped into that role recently. They have won their first 2
Premier League games by a wide margin against Everton and Portsmouth (6-1 and 4-1 respectively). Their pre-season and
Champion's League performance has been equally impressive. While away at Celtic Park they netted 2 goals, effectively ending the Old Firm's hopes of
Champion's League glory.
Arsene Wenger will field a strong team here to keep everyone in form and expect to see some goals.
Celtic has had mixed results lately. Their pre-season was an up and down of impressive wins against the likes of Tottenham, and dissapointing losses against teams like Dynamo Moscow at home. The match against Arsenal at Celtic Park showed just how big the difference in quality is. Celtic will have to come out attacking here to make up for the 2 goal deficit, so expect an open game. Playing in Emirates Stadium against in-form Arsenal will lead to a high-scoring game with Arsenal coming out on top.
