Theo Walcott claims that he’s looking forward to Arsenal’s Champions League clash against  Ludogorets after Arsenal beat Swansea 3-2 on Saturday.

The forward scored a brace against the Swans, marking his fourth and fifth Premier League goals so far this season. He’s in blistering form right now and during our last European encounter at the Emirates against Basel, he also scored the two goals that won us the match.

“I don’t think they will be looking forward to playing us, that’s for sure,” Theo said.

“Especially with the way we’re playing and the amount of goals we’ve scored this season already. I am really looking forward to Wednesday now.

“Everyone will say that this is a fixture we should win and we know we should win it.”

Ludogorets definitely go into the tie as underdogs but as we know all too well, this means very little. Arsenal have been rather capable of ending up on the wrong end of a shock result in the past. My only hope is that this season something’s changed.

The momentum is with us. However, Ludogorets’ results haven’t been bad either. They’ve won four out of the last five games; the match they lost was against PSG.

They shouldn’t be underestimated. Let’s hope we’ve learnt our lesson the hard way already.
