Venue: Tuesday, October 21st 2008 Kick-Off:19:45

Fenerbahce will play host to Arsenal in this Champions League Group Fixture, which can be viewed Live on ITV.

Turkey is always a difficult place to go for any side as their fans make you feel about as welcome as a dose of herpies and Arsenal will have to be focused on their game and try not to let the atmosphere get to them.

However Arsenal Manager Wenger has a few injury problems to contend with as Kolo Toure is missing after suffering a shoulder injury during last weekend's win over Everton and he joins William Gallas and Bacary Sagna on the sidelines. Mikael Silvestre is set to start in the heart of defence alongside Swiss youngster Johan Djourou.

Theo Walcott is pushing for a place in the starting line up after impressing off the bench against Everton. Samir Nasri and Nicklas Bendtner are expected to shake off slight knocks to take their places in the squad.

Fenerbahce are unbeaten in 15 games at home in Europe and they are desperate for the win as they look to keep alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stages. Fener coach Luis Aragones is under pressure after seeing his side lose four of their seven league matches this season.

The home side are missing former Newcastle midfielder Emre Belozoglu, Deivid, Gokcek Vederson and Josico because of injury. Aragones will give right-back Gokhan Gonul until the last minute to prove his fitness as he looks to recover from injury.

Spanish striker Daniel Guiza is set to plough a lone furrow in attack with the fit-again Semih Senturk expected to play in a supporting role behind the forward.

Summary

This looks an extremely difficult game to call as both sides are easily capable of victory. However Fenerbahce have an extremely impressive record at home and with them desperate for a victory they look the side to be on here.
