Preview:
Arsenal play host to Chelsea this afternoon in the Premier League.
Arsenal have midfielders Abou Diaby and Francis Coquelin (both hamstring) available again, while defender Laurent Koscielny returns from suspension.
But on-loan midfielder Yossi Benayoun is ineligible to play against his parent club, while Mikel Arteta (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Manager Arsene Wenger remains without Jack Wilshere and centre-back Per Mertesacker (both ankle).
Chelsea travel to Emirates Stadium without striker Didier Drogba (knee) who picked up an injury during Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first-leg win over Barcelona.
Drogba is also a doubt for next Tuesday's second leg in Spain.
Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo is without defender David Luiz (hamstring), while Branislav Ivanovic serves the second match of his domestic three-match ban.
