Martin Jol reports that Ledley King has been suffering from a virus this week - but says he should be fit to face Arsenal on Saturday.

Source: Official Site

The skipper has had stomach cramps but Martin said: "It's a bit of a problem, Ledley's had a virus but hopefully he'll be okay for Saturday. Obviously he's our skipper and an important player for us."

On the plus side, Martin confirmed that Jermaine Jenas will be back in the squad following the calf problem that kept him out of the last three games against Blackburn, Bayer Leverkusen and Wigan.

Otherwise, Paul Stalteri, Anthony Gardner (both knee) and Mido (groin) remain out injured and Hossam Ghaly suspended.

"Paul Stalteri is coming back but he's not ready for selection yet," added Martin. "Mido has a little tear on his groin, he will start a running programme and return to training next week and Anthony Gardner should return to full training next week."

i don't think jenas should play. we have had SO much more fluidity without him recently. poor call to play him i think.

Hope King is able to make it, he's too important considering the magnitude of the game, not jsut in terms of rivalry but also in terms of the league. As for Jenas, would be nice to have him on the bench rather than murphy but Zokora and Huddlestone should keep their places, as shoul Malbranqure and Lennon and Defoe and Berbatov and the entire backline!

I think Davids should feature in this game. We will need some aggression to beat the gooners.

Jenas should and will come in ahead of Huddlestone. For me, the only question marks are Keane or Defoe, and Malbranque or Tainio. I think he'll go with Keane and Malbranque - I'd like to see him go with Keane and Tainio.

Scoreline 1-1 as ever.

Will be an interesting one when MJ picks his team. Most teams that have troubled Arsenal this season have really got amoungst them and closed them down quickly. Any team that has tried to pass them of the park will come a cropper.
To that end i would start as follows
Robbo, Chimbonda, King, Daws, Ekotto, Lennon, Zokora, Davids, Tainio, Defoe, Berbatov.
Bench: Cerny, Keane, Huddlestone, Malbranque, Jenas.
