Arshavin set for Arsenal bow

Russia international Andrei Arshavin looks set to make his Arsenal debut against Sunderland at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Winger Emmanuel Eboue is back from suspension after missing Monday night’s FA Cup win over Cardiff, while defender Johan Djourou is also available following illness. However, striker Eduardo is missing because of a hamstring problem suffered on his goalscoring return from a year out with a broken leg.
