Wenger to risk resting Henry again
Arsene Wenger will again leave Thierry Henry on the sidelines for Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie against Middlesbrough - even though he has just one other fit striker.

The Gunners' top scorer was left out in midweek as a second-string side lost to Boro in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final at Highbury.
Kanu was partnered in attack by 17-year-old Quincy Owusu-Abeyie in that game, but the Nigerian has now left for the African Nations Cup, while Sylvain Wiltord and Jeremie Aliadiere are both injured.
That leaves Dennis Bergkamp - himself only returning from injury - as the only experienced striker other than Henry who is available.
But a statement on the club website confirmed: 'Dennis Bergkamp is likely to return for Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie after missing the past five games with a calf injury but Thierry Henry will be rested.'
Wenger is likely to use Bergkamp up front supported by either Robert Pires or Fredrik Ljungberg - a tactic he has used in Europe before.
'For me, they are more midfielders than second strikers or the real striker,' said Wenger. 'But more and more teams play five in the middle of the park against us so it could be a solution at some stage.'
很可能摆出博格坎普单前锋 五中场 AW说很多球队用五中场对付我们 我们也可以用这个方法
