This is the biggest game of the season so far and will be a stern test for a group of players that have been underachieving heavily this season, yet seem as though they are turning the right corner. With a few players coming back now, the squad now looks slightly a bit more appealing. I do think that with a few more players back, the type of side Wenger decides to go with will ultimately have a big effect on the result. Even though he has just returned, I'm leaning more towards Walcott starting in this game. Roma are likely going to attack Arsenal and have the bulk of the possession as I don't see the current midfield being able to hold onto the ball long enough away from home against an opposition of Roma's quality. Walcott's pace could cause all types of problems when Arsenal are on the break.
Recently the defensive record from Arsenal has been really good, but in honestly they haven't really faced a really potent attack, with the quality of someone like Totti.
If Arsenal manage to win this game and the game following, I will definitely start to believe in the squad again.
