Arsenal v Blackpool Starting XI – Cesc, RvP on bench

Arsene Wenger was hoping to welcome back at least three players to his squad against Blackpool today. As it turns out, all three are back, with two of them starting on the bench.

That is, Johan Djourou and captain Cesc Fabregas will be looking to make substitute appearances after missing out on the trip to Anfield last weekend.
