ARSENAL DUO TO MISS ANFIELD TRIP

Arsenal will be without Robin Van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor for their trip to Anfield on Tuesday night.

Van Persie is struggling with a groin problem that he picked up in Saturdays FA Cup game against Chelsea and Adebayor is just being rested as a precaution after complaining of a tight hamstring.

Bacary Sagna is back in the squad after suffering from sickness but the Gunner's manager Arsene Wenger revealed in Monday afternoon's press conference that he was unsure if the right back would start or not.

“From Saturday we have lost Robin van Persie, who has a little groin problem,” said Wenger.

“Emmanuel Adebayor is rested. He has a little hamstring alert and we don’t want to take a gamble on him.

“Bacary Sagna is back in the squad we’ll decide if he can play tomorrow.”
