[Gooners444]

Good to hear! Really hope at least two of them are ready to kick some chelski-ass

[aw]

I just hope they are ready. Arsene don't bring them back, if they're not fit,Pleeeezzzzz!

[Wayno]

Please play them, without them we will lose on Sunday.

Team for Chavs

JENS
Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Hleb Flamini Fabregas Rosicky

RvP Adebayor



Result Arsenal win 2-0

[JakeN13]

Tough call...it's an important game but is it worth it if there's a risk Fab & Hleb will have a setback & be out for another few weeks?

I'm sure Diarra would love to play this game & since I'm guessing wenger will play 3 central midfielders I reckon he's gotta a chance. A 3 man midfield should mean Ade starts on his own upfront as well. I'm happy with that as Robin's always at his best when he comes on in the 2nd half.

[aw]

Pretty sure Flamini was ready for Steaua. I'm sure Fabregas will be back, but not so sure about Hleb. But 2 out of 3 ain't bad!!

[Bergkamp95]

I just hope there all fit to play the chavs on sunday 2 big games for Arsenal in the league in the next week or so and its important that all are big guns are fit for both games and i suppose with Drogba out injured and Essien suspended it will be a plus for Arsenal.

I'm expecting the team to look like this -

Almunia

Sagna Toure Gallas Clichy

Eboue Flamini Cesc Rosicky

Ade Van Persie

Subs Jens,Senderos,Hleb,Theo,Bedtner

I know it means no place in squad for either gilberto or diarra unless of course theo is left out which is a real possibility. Personally I am hoping for Jens to be No.1 but doubtful it will happen.Heres hoping eboue will give cashly a right kicking without getting sent off of course

[I Hate Hleb]

THAT MEANS PLAYING THREE PLAYERS WHO AREN'T 100% MATCH FIT. IF WENGER'S WORDS TODAY ARE TO BE BELIEVED, HE WON'T RISK THAT AGAINST CHELSEA.

OF COURSE, WE DON'T KNOW THE TRUE LEVEL OF FITNESS OF ANY OF OUR RETURNING PLAYERS, BUT I THINK HE MIGHT PLAY DIARRA INSTEAD OF FLAMINI (IF CESC IS FIT), OR WITH FLAMINI (IF HE ISN'T), WITH TOM LEFT, EBOUE RIGHT AND RVP UP FRONT AS ADE'S PARTNER.

HOWEVER, I AGREE WITH THE REST OF YOUR PROPOSED LINE-UP AND THAT HE WILL PROBABLY KEEP HLEB ON THE BENCH. BY THE WAY, THEO MISSES THE MATCH THROUGH INJURY, SO THAT LEAVES A SPACE FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Can't see Wenger put out 2 strikers. When was the last time he did that against Manure or Cska Russian toy,

[proudtosaythatname]

I think it's mind games; all 3 are fit and Wenger is keeping Chelski guessing. Lehmann didn't look sharp enough Wednesday to replace Almunia - I think barring injuries he's received his final yellow card for us. But Auf Wiedersehen and Danke Shoen Jens and best of luck with Euro 2008.
