Vieira Keane to be fit for showdown with Roy

ARSENAL captain Patrick Vieira is still hoping to lock horns with Roy Keane at Highbury tomorrow night as he insists the Manchester United skipper is not a spent force.

Vieira has been rated a 50-50 chance for the title showdown after injuring both knees at Old Trafford in Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final victory against Sheffield United.

There is also a fitness doubt over Keane, but both managers know the importance of their captains being fit for what promises to be a titanic tussle at Highbury.
