As has been widely reported (and exaggerated), Dennis Bergkamp has been told to stay at home and make sure he's raring to go for the Chelsea FA Cup tie on Sunday. Henry looked sharp enough when he came on as a sub against Ipswich, and will presumably start alongside Kanu. Wiltord has been looking better and better though. One starts to see why he was compared to Wrighty, with his buzzing about the box. He just needs to start scoring like Wright. He'll probably get to play tonight too.

Arsenal's only real problem is at centreback, where Keown is injured and Stepanovs isn't registered. If Edu was fit we might have seen him partner Vieira, with Grimandi alongside Adams. But our understanding is that Edu isn't available. Still, Parlour's been doing ok in central midfield so Gilles will probably still switch to defence. The alternative is Luzhny as Tone's number 2, but the Ukrainian hasn't played for a while.

Lyon's only doubt is said to be defender Serge Blanc.
