Fabregas and Van Persie set for starts

23 December 2010 10:30
Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie are available to make their first starts together since August when Arsenal host Chelsea on Monday. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski returns to the squad for the Barclays Premier League clash, so Wojciech Szczesny is likely to drop to the bench. Abou Diaby (ankle) is available but Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles), Manuel Almunia (ankle) and Kieran Gibbs (ankle) are out.
