Wenger has to decide who will be in goal tomorrow.
Media outlets have reported that Lehmann did not play well in the Reserves against Wigan but I did not watch the game so I do not know how accurate that was.
Look at The Telegraph who headlines "Arsenal crisis continues as Lehmann has a nightmare in comeback". They hardly pointed out that we played with 10 men or that reserve coach Neil Banfield was full of praise for the German but this is the Telegraph anyway.
I just have a feeling though that Lehmann is not 100% fit yet ( remarkable considering he is an emergency keeper! )and his first start will be at Blackpool.
Goalkeeping is not the area I am counting on though. Between the unconfident Almunia or the retired Lehmann, the choice is not exactly great and I am hoping that the lads do the business at the other end.
Let us hope that van Persie, Walcott, Fabregas and Nasri give Paul Robinson a busy afternoon and that any mistakes on our side will therefore not be costly.
Squillaci will also be the key. After a promising second half at WBA, we need the experienced Frenchman to be solid until the end of the season.
LIKELY LINE-UP:
GK: Almunia
RB: Sagna
CB: Koscielny
CB: Squillaci
LB: Clichy
CM: Song
CM: Fabregas
CM: Wilshere
AM: Nasri
AM: Arshavin
FWD: van Persie
Bench: Lehmann, Eboue, Diaby, Chamakh, Bendtner, Gibbs, Walcott
