There are 4 changes to the squad for the first leg. The injured Julio Baptista, Emmanuel Eboue and Alexander Hleb are omitted, along with Mark Randall (not sure why in his case, but I'm guessing Wenger just decided to go with more experience). In come four first-choice first-teamers in Gilberto, Gael Clichy, Emmanuel Adebayor, and Tomas Rosicky.

Expected line-up...

        Almunia
  Hoyte Toure Senderos Traore
Walcott Gilberto Denilson Diaby
     Adebayor Aliadiere

subs: Poom, Cesc, Rosicky, Clichy, Flamini

The attacking options may look a bit limited but it's a strong bench, with Rosicky in particular available as a striking option if needed.

As for the visitors, the only update to yesterday's news is that Michael Dawson is almost certain to play despite an infected toe, but Teemo Tainio is still out injured. Jermaine Jenas and Paul Stalteri played at the weekend for the first time in a while, and Martin Jol has said he's unsure about playing them again so quickly. But this is their best chance for a trophy this decade so it's hard to see him putting out anything but the strongest team he can.
