Szczesny set for Gunners return

Arsenal could welcome back goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from a finger injury for Sunday’s Barclays Premier League clash against Liverpool at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Centre-half Johan Djourou (shoulder) may also recover, along with midfielders Alex Song (knee) and Denilson (toe), but full-back Bacary Sagna (knee) is a doubt.

Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (ankle) is also struggling so veteran Jens Lehmann could be set for a place on the bench again while Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) continues his rehabilitation.

Team (from): Szczesny, Eboue, Squillaci, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Fabregas, Wilshere, Nasri, Arshavin, van Persie, Lehmann, Almunia, Walcott, Ramsey, Gibbs, Diaby, Bendtner, Chamakh, Rosicky, Djourou, Sagna.
