Denilson back in for Gunners

Midfielder Denilson (back) will return to the Arsenal squad for tomorrow’s north-London derby.

Full-back Bacary Sagna is also fit again after a knee problem, while centre-half Kolo Toure is pressing for a first-team recall along with striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who came off the bench to score at West Ham on Sunday.

Striker Eduardo is closing in on a return from his broken leg, but Czech winger Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) looks set to remain in recovery until the new year.

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