Gilberto is ruled out with a calf problem while skipper Thierry Henry, defender Lauren, striker Dennis Bergkamp and winger Robert Pires are all rested because of slight fitness concerns.

Veteran defender Sol Campbell will play along with Freddie Ljungberg and Robin van Persie but first-choice goalkeeper Jens Lehmann may also not be risked.
