We'd been managing without Freddie and Bob, but having Dennis and Tel also missing for the Chelsea game left us severely lacking up front. And we're likely to have to score goals tonight because Man City are not the types to sit back.

Edu and Campbell are also fit again, but there could be a weakness on the right with Lauren and Ray Parlour both missing with knee problems.

We'd expect to see Luzhny at right back, but according to Arsenal.com, Kolo Toure could play there.

The official site also says that Robert Pires' hope that he'll be back for the Auxerre game could be a little optimistic. But it shouldn;t be much longer than that, and Freddie Ljungberg is already back in full training.
