Smalling is a disaster zone. Valencia looks desperately unfit. Makes no odds if Falcao is on the pitch or not if you exclude his dive in the box but anyone could have done that. Rooney wins a ton of free kicks by hitting the deck every time an opponent comes within a yard, grim but effective. They have a goalkeeper, Herrera and Carrick will be back soon.
We're better in every position bar the goalkeeper. If we don't win both the upcoming encounters against them we'll have done ourselves no justice at all. Sure enough they'll have the ref and linesmen but still no excuse given our superiority on paper. But can our manager do his job and pick a team and the tactics to win? Can he earn his money when it matters? Our record is so poor that we can't even fall back on statistical probability or pure luck. We'll have to win by everyone doing their jobs properly, including Wenger.
