The thing is we have a lot of injuries, so Arsene's options might be limited. He might probably rest Ade and Cesc and maybe even Gallas. It will be a mixture of the kids and available experienced players.

I dont think there will be many changes you know Tommy coming in maybe Diaby and Theo as well Eboue and Toure will feature

Maybe rest Gallas, Fabregas and Ade.

And Hleb, Flamini, Clichy.....

I think genuine options for wholesale changes are limited but AW has said he will try to rest some players so I expect Eboue, Toure, Rosicky and Bendtner to come in.

Well yes, thats why i said it will be a mixture. Diaby will be missing tho, as was mentioned. Eboue will be back as a right winger :) and Rosicky will be back. I think with Kolo back, Arsene might gamble with resting Gallas. And I just feel Ade will be starting on the bench. Personally, i hope he puts up our strongest available squad.

From the official site:

The full injury list is: Johan Djourou (groin), Robin van Persie (thigh), Abou Diaby (calf), Manuel Almunia (sick), Denilson (hamstring), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Walcott (thigh), Clichy (hamstring), Sagna (personal reasons) and Senderos (knee/thigh).

Bloody hell!!! I dont even remember Denilson getting injured either!

cant believe sagna and clichy are both out, thats a big setback. two of the best fullbacks in the league will be a big miss and im unsure if traore will be good enough to fill the void. i think gallas will play and big phil is a major doubt. gutted that sagna is going to miss out tho

I thought rosicky & theo were to be back for this game ?? Given how long it takes our players to recover from their injuries maybe the czech republics docs werent so far off the mark after all. Have to say that I am delighted that almunia is still out although it must be a fair sickness to keep him out this long :roll: :wink: Come on Mad Jens 8) :D :D

Personal reasons??? fuck sake grow a pair. Are we not missing enough players already. And when did gael get injured??? I tell you what, with this many injuries there better not be any players rested for the sake of it.

I have a terrible feeling about this match. I couldn't take another hammering, even if we do have bigger fish to fry. I'm worried.

Come on, perhaps his Mum and dad just died in a car accident. However if he's doing an Ireland (Man City player that is :? ) I'll hate the *word censored*.

I'm feeling really strange about this game. I don't care if we lose as long as we go on to win the League. I didn't really get a lot of pleasure out of the 2005 cup win, but i be would so ecstatic if we won the premier league again. For me that is more of a revenge for them cheating in the 50th game than winning the cup.

sorry rambling like a drunk, but some of you will undersatnd me despite the Alzheimers
