1. (130 pts)Pick an outcome that will happen when Bolton play Arsenal at The Reebok?
It's no shame losing to Manchester United but after their 2-1 defeat at The Emirates last week, Arsenal have now lost 3 league games on the trot for the first time in 5 years and that leaves them with just 2 wins in their last 7 as the standard post-Christmas self destruction of the north London side appears to be playing out right on schedule.
The last time Arsenal lost 3 league games in a row in the 2006/07 season, they did manage to cling on to 4th that year and retain Wenger's record of having finished in a Champions League spot in every full season since he became Arsenal manager back in 1996 but this time around the task is looking increasingly unlikely unless things pick very quickly and dropping points against the likes of Wolves, Fulham and Swansea (all of which Arsenal have done in the last month) can be avoided for the remainder of the season.
Arsenal's main issue this season has been their away record, they've won just 4 of their 11 away games this season and lost 6 so this week's trip to The Reebok may provide more of a challenge than it first seems.
If recent form is anything to go by Bolton should be favourites for the game. Their 3-1 home victory against Liverpool last week was their 3rd win in 7 games and whilst it was still only the 3rd time they've avoided defeat when playing at home this season they do look to be improving and could cause Arsenal one or two problems especially as The Gunners are still desperately short at the back and have managed to keep only 1 clean sheet in their last 7 games.
Provided Van Persie is firing Arsenal should really end their dismal run of defeats at The Reebok, despite the fact that their current form is worse than Bolton's, but it does make you wonder what position The Gunners would end up in if the Dutchman picked up a long term injury, he has scored 49% of Arsenal's league goals this season.
