Arsenal.com has announced the team line up for today’s match:

The major surprise in the line up is that van Persie has been included, despite concerns over his ability to play so many games in a short space of time. Fingers crossed that he doesn’t get injured. Coquelin is drafted in at full back to replace the injured Vermaelen. Gervinho is back in the side after Arshavin’s terrible performance against QPR. Walcott starts again despite being ineffective in recent weeks. Unfortunately, Henry is not in the squad, so the away fans won’t get the joy of seeing him make an appearance.

Substitutes: Almunia, Squillaci, Miquel, Rosicky, Benayoun, Arshavin, Chamakh
