Justin Hoyte has recovered from his back injury and passed fit to play at right back, and Gael Clichy returns at left back.

That leaves William Gallas free to partner Kolo Toure in central defence, with Johan Djourou relegated to the bench.

Phillipe_Senderos is there too, along with Matthieu Flamini, giving us plenty of back-up.

The rest of the team is as expected: Alexander Hleb, Gilberto, Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Robin van Persie in a 5 man midfield supporting Thierry Henry up front, with Theo Walcott and Jeremie Aliadiere as options on the bench.
