Tomorrow is the first proper North London Derby of the season and it’s building up to be quite a match. Aside from the usual city bragging rights both teams have something to prove.

Post image for Arsenal injury updates for Chelsea: Cesc a maybe, Vermaelen out, Fabianski likely to start

I have to keep things very quick this morning so I thought it best just to include Arsene Wenger’s comments from his weekly press conference regarding player availability for Chelsea on Sunday. “I don’t know [about Cesc]. It looks a 50:50 but a 50:50 balancing on the negative side. I will find out on Saturday [...]
