Wenger has picked a few experienced players with Yossi Benayoun, Andrey Arshavin, Thomas Vermaelen and Tomas Rosicky, who is returning from a thigh injury, all available for selection. Arsenal squad: Fabianski, Mannone, Park, Chamakh, Benayoun, Coquelin, Frimpong, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arshavin, Squillaci, Djourou, Vermaelen, Santos, Rosicky, Ozyakup, Yennaris, Eastmond, Miquel.
