(0) 3 - 2 (2) Arsenal
Villa Park. Sunday 13th December 1998. kick-off 3pm
FA Carling Premiership
Preview
- This is NOT the live match on Sky TV. That's Wimbledon vs Liverpool.
- Team news: Arsenal
See last match preview for list of players
injured. Parlour and Dixon are not suspended, so they'll be available
again, and we can only hope that some of the injuries that affected the
midweek European game will either get better or turn out to have been
"strategic" injuries in time for this match with the Premeirship
leaders.
update 11/12/98 Bergkamp is back in full training and is
even a possibility for the Villa match. Soccernet reports that
Vieira could play too, as well as Keown and Overmars
(fuelling suspicions that the injuries to Martin & Marc may have
been, at least partly, "tactical").
Dixon and Parlour both return from suspension. Winterburn
is still out so it'll be interesting to see if Grondin, who
impressed in Greece, gets his first Premiership start. Petit
and Adams are both still out.

The Villa physio has said that Merson's chances of playing his old
club on Sunday are "good". This could give John Gregory a problem in
the attacking midfield places, with Joachim in a fine run of form and
Alan Thompson starting to click as well.

preview, when they're ready.

Obviously we have to be disappointed with giving away a 2 goal start,
but at least we had a good half this time. Last season that was
often enough, but we're paying for it these days.
See report on AFCi. More
here soon(ish).
