Arsenal has been in poor scoring form at this moment, but the Gunners have can be happy to know that two of their key strikers: Theo Walcott and Eduardo da Silva- are all set to come back in action with the FA Cup replay against Burnley on Sunday. Arsenal hopes for winning silverware this season seems to be best possible in FA Cup as they are already way out of premier league title race and their inconsistent form of recent does not make their fans hopeful about their performance in Europe.

Walcott was sidelined last November when he was picked up a shoulder injury while practicing with England team for an international fixture and the youngster needed to undergo a surgery to get over the injury. Eduardo scored 2 goals couple of weeks back to celebrate his much-awaited return after a year out injured, but as soon as he returned to action, he suffered a hamstring injury.

Arsenal came back to scoring form only in their recent 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion, following four disappointing goalless draws in premier league that left the North London club out of premier league title race. Wenger is happy that two of his top guns in striking line up are now back with full fitness, but it is not yet confirmed if they will be included straight into the starting line up against Burnley.
