Van Persie aims to make amends

ARSENAL young Dutch forward Robin van Persie may get another chance to stake his claim for a regular first-team place at Bolton today - and an opportunity to prove he has learned from his mistakes.

Van Persie incurred manager Arsene Wenger's wrath when he was sent off against Southampton a fortnight ago and has also been involved in several niggly incidents this season.

With Thierry Henry set to miss the FA Cup quarter-final trip to Bolton due to a calf strain, the 21-year-old may get a chance to emphasise the positive rather than negative aspects of his game.
