Highfield Rd, Saturday 3rd February 2001

FA Carling Premiership

Preview

• Arsenal team news
  Ljungberg and Edu are both still out. Silvinho was thought possible for the last game, so there must be a chance that he'll return for Cole.

• Coventry_City team news
  Coventry are in the process of signing John Hartson from Wimbledon, and it's expected to happen in time for him to play against his old club. The official City website seems confident. They quote Hartson's Welsh friend Craig Bellamy as saying "he does the ugly part of the game very well." Well, better he hears it from a friend...

  update Fridy afternoon: the Hartson move has fallen through. One can only feel sorry for him. Rangers, Spurs, now Coventry. Who's going to get his hopes up next?

  Steve Froggatt has a long term injury which is threatening to end his career. Carlton Palmer could be missing as there are reports of a bust-up between him and Gordon Strachan.

  Marcus Hall, Barry Quinn, and Lee Carsley will all have late tests to see if they're able to play. All 3 picked up knocks against Leeds on Wednesday. Remembering one of his overaggressive games at Highbury (when playing for Derby), I'm hoping Carsley doesn't make it. He'd only spend all afternoon kicking Patrick Vieira.

  Up front, City could recall Aloisi and Roussel. Jay Bothroyd, who was chucked out of Arsenal for throwing a strop (and a shirt, at Don Howe), could feature for Coventry.
