No Henry for Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was without a number of his big guns for this fourth round FA Cup tie at the Reebok Stadium.

Thierry Henry, Lauren, Gilberto and Dennis Bergkamp were all absent for the holders, for whom Sol Campbell was named captain.

Wenger turned to youngsters like Abou Diay, Mathieu Flamini, Johan Djourou and Kerrea Gilbert.

The Gunners boss knew his team were in for a difficult game after losing 2-0 in the league earlier in the season.

Japan midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata returned to the Bolton starting line-up after suspension, replacing knee injury victim Khalilou Fadiga.
