Premiership: Vieira return a boost for the Gunners

Midfield lynchpin Patrick Vieira has been declared fit to lead Arsenal’s attempt to revive their title challenge at Everton tomorrow, although Tony Adams’ comeback plans have been delayed.

Five Arsenal players were put through fitness tests today and while Vieira, David Seaman, Lee Dixon and Francis Jeffers all came through, Adams is not included in the squad for tomorrow’s game.
