Arsenal playmaker Andrey Arshavin returns from a groin injury for the Premier League game against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

England winger Theo Walcott has recovered from a side strain and is available again, but goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is still troubled by the chest infection, so Vito Mannone could continue in his place.

Denilson (back), Samir Nasri (leg), Lukasz Fabianski (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee) remain out.
