On paper it looks good for Arsenal. The Dons are missing several good players, and Adams and Keown are likely to be back for us.

One worry is Freddie Ljungberg. Reports from Sweden say that he missed their midweek game because of a fractured rib. The reports actually say he sustained it during the match in Bremen, which is odd seeing as he played 15 good minutes against Coventry 3 days later. If it's true he could miss a few matches including Thursday's match against Lens. That would be a great shame as, with Henry and Kanu missing, we were expecting him to be used at some point as some kind of a striker.
