Song faces late check

Arsenal will hand a late fitness test to midfielder Alex Song as the Gunners look to secure their place in the top three with victory over Champions League challengers Manchester City at Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Arsene Wenger’s men saw their slim title hopes blown away during a crazy final 10 minutes at Wigan last weekend, where they let a 2-0 lead slip as the relegation-battlers fought back to record the unlikeliest of victories.
