Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been boosted in the build-up to Saturday's clash with Manchester United after reporting no fresh injury worries.

The Gunners will host their nearest challengers in the league at the Emirates Stadium with just existing absentees Robin van Persie and Philippe Senderos injured.

Dutch striker van Persie and central defender Senderos have missed the last four matches with knee and back injuries respectively.

That leaves Wenger able to select his side from the same squad that battled back to earn a 1-1 draw against Liverpool last weekend.

"It is the same - Senderos and Van Persie (missing)," Wenger told Arsenal TV.

"Everybody else looks to be available."

However, the Frenchman believes both van Persie and Senderos will be ready to make returns before the end of the month.

"After the Reading game (on November 12) there is an international break of two weeks," he added.

"They should be back following that."
