Henry back for Gunners

Arsene Wenger will resist the temptation to rest some of his Arsenal stars against Bradford on tonight, despite the Bantams' lowly Premiership position.

Arsene Wenger will resist the temptation to rest some of his Arsenal stars against Bradford on tonight, despite the Bantams' lowly Premiership position.

Wenger will field his best-available line-up with top scorer Thierry Henry, who sat out the 6-0 FA Cup win at QPR, recalled up front.

Kanu is available again following his return from international duty with Nigeria and Wenger will assess his attacking options with Dennis Bergkamp and Sylvain Wiltord both scoring at the weekend.

The Bantams will be without striker Stan Collymore, is set to complete his transfer to Spanish Primera Liga side Real Oviedo.

They have a similar problem with Benito Carbone, who like Collymore has been told he is not part of new manager Jim Jefferies' plans.

Jefferies has understandably been keeping focused solely on the mountainous survival task facing his squad this week but inactivity has not eased the workload for his medical staff with a stomach bug doing the rounds.

Robert Molenaar, Gunnar Halle and Robbie Blake have all missed training this week although Billy McKinlay, who missed the draw at Sunderland, is expected back.

In-form Jamie Lawrence has been hampered by a toe injury sustained while on international duty in Jamaica.
