But Sylvain Wiltord has recovered fully from his thigh injury, and he and Keown are the most likely changes to the starting line-up. Not that anyone deserves to be dropped. The least effective performare against Juventus was probably Kanu. But Bergkamp's brilliance coming no for the Nigerian surely warrant a starting berth for the Dutchman, rather than Wiltord, if Kanu gets dropped.

Vill have a few good players missing: Kachloul, Hadji, Alpay, and probably Schmeichel (whose nose faces a late redness test).

Merson started their midweek game in a withdrawn striker role behind Dublin, with Vassell on the bench and Angel nowhere to be seen.
