Fabregas In, Senderos Out – Twente Team News
Arsenal midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas is set to return from a hamstring injury as the Gunners’ play the return leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier against FC Twente at Emirates Stadium tomorrow evening.
Switzerland international Phillipe Senderos won’t play though. The 23-year-old was today undergoing a medical with Serie A giants AC Milan.
New signing recruited from Manchester United, Mikael Silvestre, will not play due to a thigh muscle strain which will keep him out the side until mid-September.
Abou Diaby (thigh), Amaury Bischoff (groin), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and striker Eduardo (leg) remain in recovery.
Predicted Starting XI
Almunia
Sagna – Toure – Gallas – Clichy
Walcott – Fabregas – Denilson – Nasri
Adebayor – Van Persie
The match kick’s off at 8.05pm tomorrow evening and is live on BBC3 and you can catch all the game build-up here on Gooner Talk with a match preview later this evening and a match report immediately after full-time tomorrow night.

I see our strongest XI as this:
Fabianski
Bak JD PS Clichy
Song
Rosicky Cesc Nasri
Vela Bendtner
Rhe above takes form into consideration thus far this season (particularly the sevilla game). Toure/Gallas hasn't been working for a long time now while the Ade/RvP team hasn't done anything as of late either.
I know Senderos is gone but i wish he wasn't so im still putting him there.
Chris, what do you think of Landreau of PSG. He's the french no.1 and only 29. Could be a nice buy as i dont thimk Almunia is good enough.
