Henry left on bench for derby game
Thierry Henry was on the bench as Arsene Wenger once again made changes to his Arsenal side for today’s final north-London derby against Tottenham at Highbury.
Jose Antonio Reyes, Robin van Persie, Johan Djourou, Abou Diaby and Emmanuel Adebayor all came in.
Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Eboue were also left on the bench, but Freddie Ljungberg and Alexander Hleb did not feature as Wenger kept one eye on Tuesday night’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Villarreal.
Spurs are four points ahead of their rivals in the Barclays Premiership, but have played a game more.
With Egyptian striker Mido not fit, Martin Jol opted for Jermain Defoe and captain Robbie Keane in attack.
Jermaine Jenas also missed out, but Edgar Davids and defender Anthony Gardner did start.
