Arsenal on the other hand have a litany of concerns and are already without strike pairing Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor. Leading scorer van Persie has a groin problem Adebayor picked up a hamstring injury during the FA Cup semi-final over the weekend. Brazilian born Croatian forward Eudardo is likely to feature.
