Gunners give Fabregas a chance

12 December 2010 10:00
Arsenal will leave it as a late as possible to decide on the fitness of captain Cesc Fabregas (hamstring) ahead of the top-of-the-table clash at Manchester United. Full-back Kieran Gibbs is out after injuring his ankle in the midweek Champions League win over Partizan Belgrade, but Gael Clichy (virus) and Johan Djourou (thigh) should travel to Old Trafford. Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia (elbow), centre-back Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) and midfielder Abou Diaby (ankle) are still out.
