Beckham and Barthez given green light

David Beckham and Fabien Barthez will be fit for the Barclaycard Premiership clash with Arsenal at Highbury tomorrow.

Beckham missed the weekend hammering of Newcastle with a hamstring injury, while Barthez damaged a toe late in the 6-2 win.

However, both men have recovered and should start against the Gunners, who go into the match three points behind the visitors but with a vital game in hand.

However, Old Trafford chief Alex Ferguson does have doubts over Roy Keane (dead leg), John O’Shea (knee) and Ryan Giggs (hamstring), although he expects at least one of that trio to make it.

Team: Barthez, Carroll, Ricardo, G Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Blanc, Silvestre, O’Shea, Beckham, Scholes, Butt, Keane, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy, Solskjaer, Forlan, Fortune, P Neville, Pugh, Fletcher.
