Adebayor and Hleb fit for Gunners

Premier League leaders Arsenal will have both leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor (stiff neck) and winger Alexander Hleb (foot) available for tomorrow’s trip to relegation battlers Birmingham.

Manager Arsene Wenger also confirmed that goalkeeper Manuel Almunia will be back in the squad after being laid low with a virus, leaving him with a choice between the Spaniard and Jens Lehmann.

Centre-back Kolo Toure (calf) is definitely out, so Philippe Senderos should continue at centre-half. Theo Walcott could also start – but Emmanuel Eboue (suspended), Robin van Persie (thigh), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Abou Diaby (calf) and Johan Djourou (groin) are out.

Team (from): Almunia, Sagna, Senderos, Gallas, Clichy, Walcott, Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, Adebayor, Eduardo, Lehmann, Bendtner, Denilson, Gilberto, J Hoyte, Traore, Song.
