Who will be the main players for the Gunners at Carling Cup Final 2011?

In the final match of Carling Cup 2011, Arsenal will have to play without Walcott. Another four player who are doubtful for the match are Diaby, Fabregas, Koscielny and van Persie. So, if all of these are unavailable then it will be a big blow for Arsene Wenger. On the other hand, if he can get at least 2 of them, then it would be a big boost for the squad.

First of all, there is no doubt that if Fabregas and van Persie both can play then it will totally change the atmosphere of Arsenal squad in the final of Carling Cup 2011. Assuming that all of these four players will be unavailable, if really that happens, then they will have to depend on Chamakh and Nasri. Ashravin will have to play a major role too. This season we have not seen too much of Arshavin, but in the last few matches he is coming back.

Nasri is undoubtedly the best player for Arsenal this season. At times, he even looked better than Fabregas and van Persie. Chamakh started the season very strongly, but then had to make way for fit-again striker Robin van Persie. In the last few matches, he stayed at the bench and watch van Persie playing some excellent football. I am hopeful that Chamakh also contributes in the final match.

However, I think, the most important player for Arsenal will be their goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny. He is in best form.
