Titolo: Roma-Arsenal

Ragazzi come la vedete questa partita?
Dai prono vendo che preferite l'1x  pero' io sarei propenso per la vittoria
dell'Arsenal.
Tutte e due le squadre vengono da sconfitte in campionato, la roma 3-0 e l
Arsenal 3-2.
Pero' se valutiamo singolarmente  le forze in campo i gunners sono altamente
superiori. Inoltre torna un perno di questa squadra. Pires, fuori da 7 mesi
gia in gol in campionato.
Io dico 2
Aspetto altri pareri

Arsene Wenger has warned Arsenal to beware another body-blow from
Gabriel Batistuta next week - even though he accepts the Roma striker
is physically a shadow of his former self.
At the age of 33, Batistuta retains the finishing prowess to torment
Arsenal in Rome next week when the Gunners launch the second stage of
their Champions League campaign.
However, he has lately been unable to hold down a regular place in the
Serie A side and is by no means as sharp as when he tore Arsenal apart
for Fiorentina in 1999 at the Gunners' temporary European home of
Wembley.
Wenger admitted: "I can still see his goal against us at Wembley. It
was such a shock, certainly one of the lowest points of our Champions
League campaigns.
"Their keeper was man of the match and they had one shot on goal all
game but we couldn't recover from it.
"Batistuta was almost four years younger then though. Now he's 33 and
not always in the Roma side. Physically, he is not as sharp as he was
four or five years ago, that's for sure.
"But he's still very dangerous and he will be trying, don't worry
about that."
Batistuta failed to make an impression for Argentina against England
at the World Cup and was thereafter linked with a possible move to the
Premiership.
However, Chelsea chairman Ken Bates insisted he turned down the chance
to sign the striker due to his age and his excessive wage demands,
while other clubs also baulked at the cost.
Wenger believes Batistuta could still do well in England, although he
is not about to open the bidding.
"He has a tremendous record in England, where teams are not known for
letting you score goals," he said. "But don't think the guy could come
here for nothing as he cost Roma so much."
With Francesco Totti and Vincenzo Montella also in the Roma squad,
Wenger is determined to ensure his team at least make an unbeaten
start to the second group, having lost their opening tie in the past
two seasons.
With a home game against group favourites Valencia to come before
Christmas, the Arsenal boss knows his team's qualifying hopes face an
immediate examination.
"These two first games will be a very good indication. Roma are very
difficult to beat in Rome and Valencia have had very good results in
England against us, Liverpool and Manchester United," he added.
Wenger is set to be without both of his deep-lying strikers as Kanu
faces a fitness test on Monday and Dennis Bergkamp will not be asked
to travel by road to Rome.
That means he could either turn to Sylvain Wiltord, Francis Jeffers or
Fredrik Ljungberg, who filled a makeshift deeper forward role against
Borussia Dortmund.
"Freddie is an interesting option as he can get behind defenders,"
revealed Wenger.
"I wasn't disappointed with the tandem of those two up front but we
didn't dominate the game enough or give them a chance to be
successful."

AS Roma v Arsenal 
 
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to throw teenage rookie Moritz
Volz into the Champions League deep end if his side's defensive injury
crisis does not ease.
Volz, 19, has previously started only one first-team game, against
Ipswich in the Worthington Cup two years ago.

partner Ladbrokes... 
 
However, injuries to Oleg Luzhny, Lauren and Ray Parlour, plus Kolo
Toure's suspension, mean the German is an emergency call-up to the
squad for the away game against Roma at the start of the second group
stage.
Volz was substituted at half-time in the reserve game at Watford as a
precaution and could now line up against the likes of Francesco Totti
and Gabriel Batistuta.
Wenger still hopes Luzhny will recover from the hamstring injury which
has prevented him from training but rates him as having only a 20%
chance of playing.
"I will wait as long as possible for him as I do not have much choice
at right-back. Apart from him and Moritz Volz, our only other solution
is people who are not used to playing in that position," said Wenger.
"Apart from the Worthington Cup, it's always a very difficult decision
for us to give a chance to one of the younger players as you are
always playing in very important games.
"It's not the Worthington Cup this time but I have no doubts about
Moritz Volz."
Volz's only other first-team experience was a recent substitute's role
in the Worthington Cup against Sunderland.
Wenger, also without Martin Keown, Dennis Bergkamp and Kanu, has
another doubt over David Seaman, although he gives the goalkeeper a
90% chance of recovering from a recurrence of his groin injury.
The fitness situation is still worrying for the Arsenal boss,
especially ahead of a game which is likely to set the tone for the
rest of a tough group which also contains Valencia and Ajax.
"In a very difficult group, this game is a big test. To win this one
would put us in an ideal position," said Wenger.
"It's vital for us to do well away as our home performances will
almost certainly not be enough."
Have Arsenal got what it takes to win the Champions League this
season? 
Wenger expects a stern challenge from Roma despite defensive problems
of their own having lost 3-0 at Parma on Sunday, leaving them ninth in
Serie A and nine points adrift of leaders AC Milan.
"They have certainly a lack of defensive consistency but we know it
will take an outstanding performance from us to win, without
speculating on any defensive weakness from Roma," declared Wenger.
"It will be a special game against a team with big players. They will
be fired up and highly motivated in a very hostile atmosphere.
"They are not at their best level of confidence but it looks like
their best chance is in the Champions League."
