Players: Emmanuel Adebayor, Eduardo da Silva and Robin Van Persie

No one can deny Wenger's clever planning when it comes to acquiring and developing youth players, or making a pretty penny on their sales. But he does have an undeniable tendency of losing key players just when they are needed.

This season it's ArsenalÂ’s midfield that's taken the hit and its strikers who (despite rumour) have stayed firm. But this has led to clashing of talent and ego's in the team's forward ranks.

With Walcott slipping back into a more natural midfield role and Bendtner slapped back into the changing room by Adebayor, it seems to be the Ivory Coast goal hero who will take up the lead. Assistance will come from Van Persie and Silva, both back from injury but with confidence to regain.
