Fabregas may miss out

Barclays Premier League leaders Arsenal look set to be without midfielder Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) for tomorrow’s trip to Aston Villa.

Mathieu Flamini (thigh) is back in contention along with captain William Gallas and striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who were both rested for the midweek Champions League game in Sevilla.

Full-back Gael Clichy (thigh) and winger Alexander Hleb (hamstring) also face fitness tests, but Abou Diaby (back) remains out and striker Robin van Persie (knee) needs a couple more weeks of rehabilitation.

Team (from): Almunia, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Hleb, Flamini, Fabregas, Rosicky, Eduardo, Adebayor, Lehmann, Diarra, Song, Senderos, Traore, Eboue, Gilberto, Denilson, Walcott, Bendtner,
