Arsene Wenger confirmed that the missing Cesc Fabregas was almost certain to be absent again on Wednesday, as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

Id like to see

Milner Butt Emre N'Zogbia
Viduka Martins
but knowing SA we will end up with
Given
Taylor Beye Rozehnal N'Zogbia
Smith Butt Emre/Barton Milner
Martins Viduka
Im going to go 1-4. I dont think sam will get sacked but if we dont win against Birmingham on Saturday i think he will be gone, ofc the papers today reckon he will be gone if we get beat which is stupid imo.

Newcastle and Arsenal have a long-established rivalry iirc. bound to be shedloads of banter, only right the thread is opened years before the actual game.
