Manager Arsène Wenger is backing second-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianksi to step up to the mark and shine against Chelsea.
The Gunners take on their West London rivals in the FA Cup semi-final and Fabianski is stepping in for the injured Manuel Almunia.
Wenger said: "I rate him highly, personally.
"I think he is intelligent, he reads the game well. He is brave and has all the ingredients to be successful in his position.
"I wish him Happy Birthday in advance and hope it will be a great day for him tomorrow."

Lol better than Almunia?
Chelsea were just too strong, *sigh*
And many players didn't turn up today either, neither did the manager by the team selection and substitutions

Oh Dear. Not so confident now I imagine? Truth is, we're totally screwed in the backline with injuries and sickness. If we don't let in a boatload of goals over the next few weeks I'm a monkey's uncle.

I have every confidence in Fabianski - my concerns are with the rest of the defence. I still feel confident for the result today on the strength of the midfield and attack, but Arsenal haven't faced a team of the potential of Chelsea in recent months.
