Gibbs out for Gunners

Arsenal will be without left-back Kieran Gibbs for the visit of Barclays Premier League bottom club West Ham tomorrow after the England defender suffered knee ligament damage in the Carling Cup win at Newcastle.

Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (elbow), defender Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) and midfielder Abou Diaby (ankle) are still not yet match fit, while Jack Wilshere serves the last of his three-match ban.
