Song boost for Gunners

Arsenal expect to have midfielder Alex Song available for tomorrow's league match at Sunderland following a hip problem.

The Gunners have no fresh injury worries following the midweek European win over Porto as they look to bounce back from the shock Barclays Premier League home defeat by Hull.

Abou Diaby (thigh) is a couple of weeks away from a return, but Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Amaury Bischoff (groin) and striker Eduardo (leg) all remain in recovery.

Team (from): Almunia, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Nasri, Fabregas, Denilson, Walcott, Adebayor, Van Persie, Fabianski, Song, Djourou, Vela, Bendtner, Ramsey, Eboue, Silvestre.
