Lehmann should return to goal, having had to sit out the European match last week through suspension. The main questions over Wenger's selection is whether he'll start with Bergkamp or van Persie, and whether he'll mix things up in midfield. Since we've got 3 games in 8 days, culminating in the trip to Amsterdam, it's more than possible that the likes of Flamini and Hleb could be used to give Cesc, Freddie, or Pires a rest.

Everton are likely to make changes to the line-up that lost so embarassingly in Bucharest last week. James Beattie is out with a toe injury, so they don't have much option but to continue with Marcus Bent up front. Mikel Arteta is likely to come in for either Leon Osman or James Mcfadden, assuming he's recovered from the stomach big that kept him out of last week's team. Lee Carsley should be back playing soon after a long absence, but not for another fortnight or so. They're also missing Gary Naysmith and Alessandro Pistone through injury.

New players for the Toffees this year include former Tottenham player Simon Davies (who's done little to justify his 3.5million fee so far) and Phil Neville from Man Utd. They also got Andy van der Meyde from Inter and former Arsenal trialist Per Kroldrup but I believe neither is fit enough to make their debut yet.

Highbury is the last place Everton would have chosen to come on the back of that 5-1 loss (their worst defeat since the last time they came to Highbury). They've lost on their last 9 visits, for an aggregate score of 31-6.

Rupe adds...
According to the official Arsenal site's match preview, there's a slight doubt over the availability of Mathieu Flamini.
