Arsenal finds themselves on the brink of a significant opportunity to inch closer to a coveted trophy. In the semi-final of the FA Cup this Saturday, Arsenal will go head-to-head with Wigan, a team competing in the English second division.
For this crucial match, Arsène Wenger has opted to deploy Yaya Sanogo in the center forward position over Olivier Giroud. The decision sees the young Franco-Ivorian leading Arsenal’s attack, supported by Santi Cazorla and Lukas Podolski.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for Arsenal. Having been without a title since 2005, the Gunners have been eliminated from the Champions League and the League Cup, and are currently trailing in the Championship. Winning the FA Cup would not only salvage their season but also break the decade-long curse looming over the club.
Arsenal’s starting lineup: Fabianski – Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Monreal – Arteta, Ramsey – Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski – Sanogo.
