Arsenal will be missing Thierry Henry for tomorrow's trip to Stamford Bridge. Arsene Wenger's not sure when he'll be back but there is a possibility that he could return for Monday's North London derby match against Tottenham. It'll be interesting to see if van Persie's 2 goals in a 7 minute substitute appearance on Saturday manage to win him a starting place. I suspect not.
In midfield Ljungberg is out with the injury which saw him come off early in the second half on Saturday, Mathieu Flamin is not ready to return from injury, and Clichy is out probably for the rest of the season, so it'll probably be Vieira, Gilberto, Pires, and Cesc. There is room for a surprise though, with Edu back in the squad.
In defence, Sol Campbell returns to the first team squad. Wenger is unsure whether to start him seeing as he isn't quite up to full ftiness, so following another good performance from the Toure/Senderos partnership at the weekend there's a good chance Sol will be on the bench.
Chelsea will be missing Arjen Robben, but John Terry has recovered from the injury that saw him limp out of the Champs League game last week.
Arsenal could really do with a result here, not so much to keep Chelsea wondering about the title, but to keep Man United behind us in the race for secodn place. They play at Goodison at the same time. Both games are being covered live by Sky Sports.
