Arsenal star Theo Walcott has expressed confidence in the Gunners’ potential this season by declaring that he believes no team will beat Arsenal this month.

Walcott was quoted telling the Evening Standard: “We have got players coming back to fitness for such a busy period at Christmas and you tend to know where you are by the New Year. The belief and trust is there and we are playing beautiful football. I believe that nobody can beat us at the moment givne the way we are playing.”

Ezequiel Lavezzi's indifferent start to the season has managed to attract the attention of Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham, who are both desperate for reinforcements at the top end of the pitch and would love to make a play for the 28 year old Argentine.

Lavezzi’s 30 million euro move to Paris St. Germain from Italian club Napoli in July 2012, saw the beginning of a new revolution in French football, the era of superstars coming to Ligue 1. Lavezzi’s start to the season in PSG colors was successful. He was well received by the fans and Carlo Ancelotti, manager of PSG that season, recognised Lavezzi as an important part of the starting XI and played him on a regular basis. The Argentine made 42 appearances in his first season at the club and finished with 11 goals and 8 assists to his name. PSG went on to win the Ligue 1 title.

Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has been ruled out of the Gunners’ clash against Everton this Sunday as the Frenchman has not been able to recover from the hamstring strain he picked up against Cardiff City a week ago. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger shared the team news ahead of the Gunners' vital game against Roberto Martinez’s in-form Everton side at the Emirates and revealed that everybody else besides long term absentees, Lukas Podolski, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Yaya Sanogo would be available for selection.

Wenger also said that Lukas Podolski was back in full training after suffering from a long term hamstring problem and that the German international would be available for selection soon, upon regaining match fitness.

Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, in a match in which both teams will feel confident about their chances. Arsenal have been on a fine run of form which has seen them maintain a 4-point gap over nearest challengers Chelsea. Everton on the other hand started the season slowly under Roberto Martinez, but have exploded into life and their confidence will be sky-high after beating Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time since 1992.

Arsenal have gone about their business with the minimum of fuss, only being beaten twice in 14 games. Arsene Wenger does not have any major squad concerns and he must be extremely pleased with the way Arsenal are currently playing. On the other hand, Roberto Martinez has made an instant impact on not only the results, but Everton’s style of play. Their slick passing and possession football, while having players who can break quickly on the counter has helped them in becoming much more effective under Martinez.

Alex Song was beginning to show his potential at Arsenal during the 2011-12 season, when he produced 14 assists from a deep lying midfield position from just 34 appearances. During the summer break, Barcelona began to show their interest in the Cameroon international and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reportedly upset with the player’s lack of professionalism in training decided to transfer him to Catalonia for 15 million pounds. Despite the unceremonious nature of his Arsenal exit, it was a giant leap for the player and promised a great future for the young midfielder.

Two years in Barcelona have seen Song make only 46 appearances, most of them from the bench, and the midfielder is growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of game time, as reported by the Daily Star.

Scottish ‘Mini Messi’ warned against leaving Dundee

Hidden away in the mystical highlands of Scotland lies a diminutive Peter Pan-esque fleet-footed attacker by the name of Ryan Gauld. A talent so precocious that his fable has traveled down south to the wealthy capitalists in the Premier League but Dundee United refuse to believe that it is a done deal that the 17 year old will be ditching the Scottish mist for English money. The links with Man United, Arsenal and Real Madrid have gotten so strong that even Scottish FA performance Director Mark Wotte has gotten involved by dropping these gems to the Metro: “I’ve seen some of the clubs he’s been linked with – it’s ridiculous. He doesn’t have to leave Scotland to develop.”

Brazilian midfield dynamo headed to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’

David Moyes must be forgiven for not wanting to hear the word Everton after Man United’s crushing defeat to his former club in mid-week. But the United manager’s January target happens to be one Everton Ribeiro, the 24 year old Brazilian midfielder who looks likely to join the Red Devils in the winter. Cruzerio want around £15m for the midfielder, whose agent is quoted by the Metro saying: “Manchester United want him. David Moyes has been impressed. I’ve already been to England and talked personally with them. In United’s opinion, he is the complete midfielder.”

Arsene Wenger and Roy Hodgson must be waiting with bated breaths to unleash the ‘Ox’ once again after the Arsenal medical team gave Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the green light to resume light training.  Oxlade-Chamberlain saw his start to the season come to a grinding halt when he suffered an injury against Aston Villa on the opening day of the campaign.

The youngster started the season brightly after he took part in all six pre-season friendlies for the Gunners. However, a tangle with Aston Villa’s new signing Antonio Luna on the opening day fixture resulted in straining the posterior cruciate ligament of his left knee.
