Like that sound of that, Gunners fans?
18.40 Good evening and thanks for joining me for live coverage of this intriguing Champions League tie from Gelsenkirchen, where Arsenal are out to avoid an untimely defeat to Schalke that could derail their hopes of progressing in the tournament.
Arsenal lost 2-0 to the same opposition a fortnight ago at the Emirates Stadium and come into this match on the back of a demoralising 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday. Something's gotta give and it looks like being Arsène Wenger's anti-Theo Walcott policy.
Yes, the word on the street is that Wenger is going to finally relent, and name Walcott in his starting line-up in the absence of the injured Aaron Ramsey. They may be locked in a contract showdown but even Wenger isn't mad enough to pick Andrey Arshavin for a game of this importance. Arsenal have lost eight of their past 13 away games in the Champions League and, even more strikingly, have won just three from 11 of their matches in Germany.
Clear Eyes, Walcott, Can't Lose? We'll have to see about that....Let's go.
