GUNNERS DUO RULED OUT
Arsenal will be without midfielder Tomas Rosicky (knee) and winger Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) for the trip to Blackburn on Sunday.
Summer signing Eduardo da Silva could make his debut following a minor ankle problem, but is unlikely to start. Midfielder Denilson is also back in the squad after a similar injury.
Abou Diaby (ankle) and striker Emmanuel Adebayor (groin) are still out, along with veteran midfielder Gilberto, after his summer of international duty with Brazil.
Blackburn forward Benni McCarthy is a doubt after suffering concussion.
The South African striker suffered a head injury at Middlesbrough last weekend and was taken to hospital following the game.
Blackburn will make sure he is completely recovered before including him in their squad.
Teams:
Blackburn (from): Friedel, Brown, Enckelman, Ooijer, Nelsen, Samba, Warnock, Khizanishvili, Emerton, Mokoena, Tugay, Dunn, Bentley, Savage, Pedersen, Santa Cruz, Rigters, Roberts, Derbyshire, McCarthy, Gallagher, Olsson.
Arsenal (from): Lehmann, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, van Persie, Almunia, Eduardo, Bendtner, Walcott, Senderos, Traore, Hoyte, Song, Denilson.
