Arsenal ( away vs. Man City)

Subs: Almunia, Flamini, Cygan, Traore, Song, Diaby, Aliadiere, Walcott, van Persie.
Injured: Reyes, Senderos,
Suspended: None
Team News: Arsenal welcome back Lehmann and Henry today after being left out of the European mid-week tie. Midfielder Rosicky is expected to make his debut, with Ljungberg left out of the squad due to fatigue. Arsene Wenger has stated that he is unhappy with Adebayor's home form; "I feel Emmanuel Adebayor is a bit intimidated at home right now," admitted Wenger. "It looks like it has diminished his confidence." (Lineup cahnge 11:17am)

Starting XI: (
Subs:
Injured: Baros, Berger, Cahill

Starting XI: (
Subs: Enckelman, Emerton, Brown, Gallagher, Todd, Ooijer, Mokoena, Douglas, McEveley, Matteo, Jeffers, Peter, Kuqi,
Injured: Nelsen
Suspended: Tugay (1 match)

Bolton ( away vs. Charlton)
Starting XI: (4-3-3) Jaaskelainen, Hunt, Ben Haim, Meite, Q. Fortune - Speed, Campo, Nolan - Vaz Te, Davies, Diouf
Subs: Walker, Tal, O'Brien, Fojut, H. Pedersen, Abdoulaye Faye, Sissons, Smith, Wolfe, Stelios
Injured: Gardner.
Suspended: None
Unavailable: Anelka (International clearance.)
Team News: Big Sam's new signing Anelka will watch his first game as a Bolton man from the stands. Left-back Fortune is a very serious doubt after picking up an ankle injury in the mid-week game. O'Brien is back from injury and could replace him, but it would more likely be Fojut who has more match fitness and normally plays in this position. Pedersen and Faye also return to the squad after injury.

Injured: Gibbs, Thomas, Walker, Sorondo
Suspended: None
Team News: Pie-man Reid could make his debut for a struggling Charlton side today. A big cloud hangs over the possible line-up in defence for me today. Will Troare, who was quite poor in first game, jump straight back into the squad after returning from suspension? Possibly not. So Dowie may start with the same back-four that took on the Red Devils.. We will see.

Subs: Wright, Naysmith, Kilbane,Hibbert, Weir, van der Meyde, Osman, Anichebe
Injured: Pistone, Vaughan, Stubbs
Suspended: None
Team News: Portuguese left-back Nuno Valente has overcome the deadleg sustained on Wednesday and should start but defender Stubbs is out with a hamstring injury, so with Weir still lacking match-fitness young Lescott could start at the back. After an amazing substitution display in mid-week Scotsman McFadden could be could into the starting XI.
