Arsenal await FA decision on Old Trafford battle

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could be hit with a major defensive headache today if the FA come down hard on Lauren and Martin Keown for their parts in the ugly scenes at Old Trafford.

Although five Arsenal players were charged, Lauren and Keown are most at risk of receiving lengthy bans after pleading guilty to their parts in the goading of Ruud van Nistelrooy during and after Arsenal’s draw at Manchester United last month.
