Finally its today :P

I am worried about Eboue though (blimey never thought I would say that!). I really hope he gets a good reception. I was watching SSN earlier and they interviewed a few Arsenal fans who have gone over there. There response was Eboue will get cheered when he goes on. I hope so because it will give him some confidence back. Last thing we need is him being booed and all over the place on the pitch.

He will, don't image too much fans in Porto and the ones that are there won't be c****. Rousing reception for the big man tonight.

My ideal line-up for tonight given the squad:

Almunia (El Capitan)

Eboue Gallas Djourou Gibbs

Denilson Song Ramsey Wilshere

Vela
Bendtner

Reasons:
I rate Djourou and think he deserves another chance to shine.
We need as many match fit as possible and Eboue needs a chance to win back some "fans". He is a better RB than a RW by a long shot, he works hard but he just can't skin any players!
I think Ramsey is working hard and I would like to see how he fares with Song by his side. Song for DM duty and Ramsey allowed to roam.
Denilson because he played there pretty well that last couple of times, could he become the new cover on the right hand side?
Wilshere cos the lad deserves it, nothing fazes him so why not? I don't rate Diaby on the left but wouldn't begrudge playing him as a DM who can get forward (like away at Fenerbache).
Vela and Bendtner because I see it as a partnership which could florish, I think Vela can play as both a last-man striker for break away chances and slightly back to build up attacks.

Isn't Fabianski the keeper tonight?

Nope, seems like it is Almunia.Im sure I read somewhere it wasn't, oh well.

From arsenal.com

Arsène Wenger will NOT hand the captain's armband to William Gallas tonight - even though Cesc Fabregas is injured.

The Spanish midfielder has led Arsenal to three wins in three games since succeeding Gallas as skipper last month but a knee problem has ruled him out of the Champions League clash with Porto.

Wenger has a number of potential deputies for Fabregas but he does not think it's appropriate to reinstate the Spaniard's predecessor.

"[Manuel] Almunia will be captain tomorrow, because you do not want every time to change your decision again," explained Wenger at his pre-match press conference.

"It would be unfair to William."

Good choice I reckon, Almunias a great Arsenal player and seems well respected amongst the players
