Leicester have more injury problems. Matt Elliott is doubtful with a throat infection while Dean Sturridge and Callum Davidson are struggling with hamstring and knee problems respectively. Former Tottenham shot-watcher Ian Walker is suspended (shame) and Darren Eadie is out for the season.

Leicester will be after double revenge. Not only did they lose 5-0 at home to Bolton on the opening day of the season, but their trip to Highbury last year also resulted in a 5 goal deficit. Boss Peter Taylor has been quoted as saying that his days at Filbert St could be numbered. Following a poor second half of last season, Taylor was expecting not to have many chances at the start of this one, and a 5-0 home loss to Premiership new boys will only have reduced thei rnumber.

The Arsenal.com preview, now up, says nothing about Adams being doubtful. Rather, it says that Keown's return leaves Wenger with a selection dilemma. It also confirms Dixon's unavailability, along with Edu and Upson. And there's a hint (but no more) that van Bronckhorst could play a bigger part.
