Van Persie doubtful

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie is a major doubt for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium due to a thigh problem.

Leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor (ankle) is expected to feature, having opened the scoring in the 1-1 Champions League draw on Wednesday night, while Theo Walcott again impressed from the bench.

Midfielder Abou Diaby is suspended, while full-back Bacary Sagna (ankle) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) are still sidelined. Eduardo is out for the season with a broken leg.

Provisional Squad: Almunia, Toure, Gallas, Senderos, Clichy, Eboue, Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, van Persie, Adebayor, Lehmann, Walcott, Song, Gilberto, J Hoyte, Bendtner, Denilson.
