Arsenal are playing an offensive game at home, this thing is already well known and this time they will play against Middlesbrough, a team with a offensive mentality, no matter if they are playing away, cause against Liverpool they have showed that, they never didn't stoped to try to put Liverpool's net in danger when they've been dominated in score, another ex. is the game on Old Trafford when they've lost 4-1 but have created some good chances and deserved to score more than 1 goal. Middlesbrough's mentality is offensive and I think this game will be a game with a lot of moments by both sides. First game at Middlesbrough have been ended 2-1 for home team and it was a absolutely deserved victory as they have had played so well, but we have to mention that Arsenal was without Fabregas, Flamini, Rosisck and some other important players. Anyway Middlesbrough can everytime to score one goal with their offensive style, thats why they've ended 1-1 against Aston Villa last round, they simply take their chance in attack.
