Manager Arsene Wenger said on Monday afternoon: "We will see how Freddie is tomorrow (Tuesday) as he has not practised today. Djourou as well, but they should both be available."

Captain Thierry Henry is expected to start again having shrugged off his recent foot problem.

Wenger added: "Thierry is match fit. He has had a game after an injury and so should be sharper tomorrow."

Philippe Senderos (shoulder), Gael Clichy (foot), Lauren (knee) and Abou Diaby (ankle) are all still a few weeks away from a return.
