How many teams can miss that many first choice players and eke out a fairly comfortable win in the Champions League? I think that is the big question and one that many might have missed when entangled in observations pertaining to Arsenal's defence, which undoubtedly needs a lot more work.

As expected, Wenger rested a number of key players.

After surviving the shock of falling a goal behind to their League Two opponents, struggling Arsenalcame back to beat Shrewsbury Town 3-1 and comfortably progress into the fourth round of the Carling Cup at the Emirates Stadium.

The visitors stunned the Emirates crowd after 16 minutes when James Collins's bullet header beat Lukasz Fabianski, and a major upset looked to be possible.

Well we got back on track a little bit today, battling back from a one goal deficit to defeat Shrewsbury Town 3-1. Some of the same worries are still there, of course, but at least we can enjoy ourselves for now. Before getting into the recap, I want to apologize to the readers for a couple of things.

Strong start. Eased off. Conceded a sloppy goal and some chances. Regrouped. Equalized. Pushed on and closed the game out by adding a couple more. Entertaining. Encouraging. Much needed.

It was a youthful line-up and an even younger bench. Le Boss also started with a fluid 4-4-2 giving Park and Chamakh having a great deal of freedom to move.

Robin van Persie has tipped Arsenal youngster Ryo Miyaichi to achieve greatness at the club given the Japanese starlet's work ethic and positive attitude towards the game.

Van Persie watched from the sidelines as Miyaichi and the rest of Arsenal's Carling Cup squad defeated Shrewsbury Town 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium but even before the kick-off, he only had good things to say about his prodigal teammate.

Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates believes that he has entered into an extremely exciting stage in his career after accepting the challenge to join Kenny Dalglish's side over the summer.

Coates' arrival at Anfield was welcomed with open arms given that the club desperately needed defensive depth.

Saturday 24th
Manchester City vs Everton from the Etihad Stadium, Manchester
City's fast start to this season has cooled a little with Roberto Mancini's men dropping two points away at Fulham last weekend, and it was especially disappointing being 2-0 up and letting a two goal lead slip.

This will be a battle between teams placed 17th and 19th with the two leakiest defences in the League. Bolton have shipped just one less goal than Arsenal's 14. Neither team is on a particularly good run either and both have a Cup result to blame, at least partially. Arsenal have been unrecognizable since the Carling Cup loss while Bolton haven't been able to recover from the 5-0 hammering they got from Stoke in the FA Cup semi-final.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andre Santos have struck early for Arsenal to give the home side a 2-1 advantage over the visiting Olympiakos during the first half at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners left skipper Robin van Persie and key playmaker Aaron Ramsey on the bench in anticipation of Sunday's cracking North London derby but that did not prevent them from dominating in the early stages of their Group F match.

Fans finally voting with their feet.. Silent Stan nowhere to be seen.. Just what is going on at Arsenal?

Arsenal fans are voting with their feet for the first time during Arsene Wenger's 15-year reign. Tickets for a Premier League match are on general sale for the Bolton game on Saturday week.

El descenso del West Ham de la Premier League hace que regrese ésta temporada uno de los clásicos más apasionantes del futbol mundial aunque probablemente es más conocido por la rivalidad fuera del campo que dentro del mismo. Una fecha marcada en el calendario de toda Inglaterra: Millwall recibe este fin de semana por la séptima fecha del Championship inglés –la segunda categoría- a los Hammers en el The Den Stadium.

When it was first announced, not many would have thought an Arsenal V Shrewsbury tie in the third round of the Carling Cup will take on such significance. I shudder at the thought of elimination but given the recent form, and with the team finding new ways of gifting goals, it's not too hard to imagine.

Hatem Ben Arfa will return to the Newcastle side on Tuesday night at Nottingham Forest in the Carling Cup, and that's terrific news for Newcastle fans. Ben Arfa - after scoring phenomenal winner at Everton And it seems that in training Ben Arfa has been very impressive indeed, and doing things other players simply cannot [.

Lost amid all the debates and media coverage about the respective merits of David De Gea and Anders Lindegaard, Tomasz Kuszczak silently fades into oblivion and obscurity, left out in the cold by Alex Ferguson and stranded at Old Trafford with his only football coming on the Carrington training ground and in meaningless reserve matches.

Another chance for Coquelin to show his stuff, albeit in a less pressure match that his last away trip

Carling Cup returns to action tonight. I have to admit, this is a competition which I do enjoy and look forward to each season. Perhaps the biggest reason is how Arsene Wenger has chose to use this competition.

How am I supposed to avoid a The Taming of the Shrew reference? Because I hate sports puns, that's how.

Regardless of how Billy Shakespeare felt about Arsenal's chances tomorrow, and despite Rich's vehement defence of the Shrews' special blend of defiant and energetic football, I would have to say that I agree with Homey's preview: we shouldn't misunderestimate them, but this should be a clear win.

Stoke away in the Carling Cup third round it is. Only two days after our last match. That is ridiculous isn't it?! Trip to Greece on Thursday, Cheeky win over Liverpool on Sunday, off to Stoke on the Tuesday. It's the same for Stoke, they've had a Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday fiasco going on as well. So are we expecting a second sting side from both teams with all 22 players content not to get hurt, play out a 0-0 bore draw whilst at the same time failing to be good enough to make a stake for a first team start?

After a disappointing result against Blackburn at the weekend, the hope is that the Carling Cup will offer a welcome distraction from the travails of the Premier League. Certainly it will be a youthful side put out by Arsenal, but there are a few fringe players in need of game time that will offer experience.

After initially attributing Arsenal's shocking 4-3 defeat at Blackburn to fatigue and a stroke of misfortune, Arsene Wenger has finally broken his silence on what he thinks has led to the club's worst start in 58 years.

The Gunners have managed only four points from 15 in their opening five fixtures and their latest setback at Ewood Park caused many to wonder precisely what it is that continues to cause issues at the Emirates Stadium despite a host of major signings bolstering the squad at the transfer deadline day.

A review of Barclays Premier League sides in Carling Cup third round action.

Putting the misery that was the weekend in the rear view, Chelsea begin their League Cup campaign with a home fixture against West London neighbors Fulham. Those sodding neighbors. More after the jump:

Child, please?

On paper, this is simply a Third Round League Cup fixture against a quality opponent that can certainly cause the Blues trouble.

Stuart Holden's road to recovery is officially complete.

Having been sidelined since March with a devastating knee injury, Holden played in his first official match of the season for Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday. The U.S. men's national team midfielder started and went the distance in Bolton's 2-0 triumph over Aston Villa in the third round of the Carling Cup, a promising return for a player looking to get back to the form that had many considering him one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew is now hoping for a home draw in the Carling Cup 4th round, after Newcastle got their 4th win in seven games, by winning 4-3 after extra time at Nottingham Forest last night. Peter Lovenkrands after scoring last night Newcastle fielded nine changes from the side that drew 1-1 at Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, and only Danny Simpson and captain Coloccini [.

Match highlights from yesterday evening's nailbiting 3-4 thriller against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup. Features two goals from Peter Lovenkrands. The first featuring an astounding pass from comeback kid, Hatem Ben Arfa, and a pretty tidy assist from his French compadre Sylvain Marveaux too. The third was an almost certain cross which ended up [.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was clearly happy after the Gunners reached the fourth round of the Carling Cup after a tricky game against Shrewsbury Town, on Tuesday. Speaking after the game, the Frenchman explained that the ...

We won against Shrewsbury Town! Woooooo...*cough* *cough* erm, yeah. A 3-1 huff-puff win against League Two opposition is hardly the tonic you'd want after the League run Arsenal are having at the moment, but I'd prefer to concentrate on the ‘win' part of things for now.

Team Selection.

Having missed the opportunity to ensnare London or 26may to write a match report I'm shamelessly using their comments from after the game and adding a few of my own.

Like many I was looking forward to seeing Oxlade-Chamberlain, Park and Ryo in addition to other well-known young guns show off their silky skills.
