Arsenal’s Russian international Andrei Arshavin (left) will face a plank of just 1 rating point to beat in the home game against No. 4 Aston Villa next Sunday and could substantially improve his current FTBL score of 152.12 points.

Arshavin is in 5th place at the moment in the FTBL ranking of Premier League forwards. At Arsenal, he is 2nd among forwards, behind Dutch international Robin van Persie (160.02 points).

If the Gunners avoid a loss on Sunday, Arshavin will be in a position to overtake van Persie, who is injured at the moment.
