Doesnt Van Persie's suspension cover all domestic competitions?

Also chances of an Eduardo appearence?, Wenger said he was close.

don't think he'll be risked, late December is probably when we should start thinking about his return.

think we'll go something like this -

-------------------- Fabianski --------------------

----------- Toure (C) ------- Djourou -----------
Eboue ------------------------------------- Gibbs

------------------------- Song --------------------
---------------- Ramsey ---------------------------
----- Walcott ------------------------- Wilshere

------------------------------ Vela ---------------
----------------------Bendtner --------------------

Anyone reckon Bischoff will make an appearance? From what i hear he's been doing quite well for the reserves.

-----------Fabianski

Eboue--Nordtveit/Toure---Djourou--Gibbs

Bischoff-Ramsey-Randall-Merida--Wilshere

---Vela---

I doubt Bendtner will play this game. He's needed elsewhere. Oh and i hope Coquelin plays

I forgot about Bischoff. I'm sure he will feature. Is van Persie suspended for Carling Cup games too? I really don't think Bendtner will start as van Persie is suspended for two more Premiership games.

think Adbayor will be back for our next PL game so Bendtner may play this one, the Bendtner/Vela partnership gave us goals last time round and hopefully it does so again.

I hope thats the case, it means one less premier league game missed.

I'm pretty sure he was recalled last month.

Wenger did say recently that he would be playing competitive football by mid-November.

According to this he is back at the club:

in total he should be banned for 3 domestic games (so it includes The Carling Cup) so he'll only miss one more Premier League game where we could just play Diaby behind Adebayor so Bendtner can play this game.

i think he said Eduardo will be back in training by mid-November not competitive football.

This is my first game at the Emirates since pre-season, looking forward to it. I hope Wenger keeps the same team that trounced Sheffield United, bar maybe bringing Bischoff in for Bendtner.

Van Persie's suspension ends 15/11/08, i.e. the CC match counts and he'll be available for the ManC game on 22/11/08.

Arsenal Quotes

In June 1996, David Dein, Peter Hill-Wood and Danny Fiszman came out to Nagoya to meet me on behalf of Arsenal. Within an hour we came to an agreement. The Japanese directors didn't try to keep hold of me in the usual way but talked with persuasive arguments... But as far as I was concerned, the decision was taken. Arsenal. A decision that would change my life.
