Bianchi return expected

Italian striker Rolando Bianchi is expected to earn an instant recall as Manchester City look to record their first away win over Arsenal since 1975.

Bianchi started Sunday’s Manchester derby win over United on the bench but with replacement Valeri Bojinov now out for at least three months with knee ligament damage, the former Reggina man should return at the Emirates Stadium as the Premier League table toppers attempt to retain their 100% record.
