Team news ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League play-off first leg between Arsenal and Udinese at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal will be without suspended duo Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie, while Tomas Rosicky faces a fitness test on a groin problem suffered in the goalless draw at Newcastle on Saturday.
Despite his red card at St James' Park, summer signing Gervinho will be available for the European tie, but England midfielder Jack Wilshere (ankle) remains out.
Arsenal (from): Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Rosicky, Song, Ramsey, Arshavin, Gervinho, Chamakh, Fabianski, Walcott, Chamberlain, Djourou, Jenkinson, Frimpong, Bendtner.
No Udinese team news as of yet, will update OP when it comes availible.

Big Big game for us this one with RVP, Nasri and Wenger suspended due to them being banned/sent off because of that ****** awfull ref we had in the Barca match . I think we need to win at the Emirates by a few goals as i think we will concede away and most likely loose the away match. I am hopefull we get through not confident although we really need the UCL and not drop into the Channel 5 cup
My Arsenal team would be: Szczensy, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny Gibbs, Song, Ramsey, Walcott, Arshavin, Gervinho, Chamakh.
Predictions for both legs?
