Arsène Wenger will have Emmanuel Eboue available as Arsenal face West Ham this weekend.
The Ivory Coast defender had been a doubt for this weekend's game, but Wenger has confirmed that he is fit to play and will start, alongside the rest of the defence that conceded four goals at Anfield last week.
"Gilberto is back and Aliádíère is back," he said. "Eboue is fit again too.
"They had a bad day at Anfield and Peter Crouch had a great day. I will play the same defenders again because it would be too easy to change.
"I give them a chance to respond in a better way, to show what good players they are.
"It is a question of team performance as well, we were beaten defensively in 50/50s too much - not only the defenders but everywhere. We were caught by a team who wanted it more."
