Premiership preview

Gunners have job cut out

AFP, London
Arsenal and their players have already shelled out a grand total of 265,000 pounds in fines as a result of the ugly fracas that erupted at the end of an ill-tempered draw with Manchester United in September.
On Saturday, the Premiership leaders will start to discover whether they will pay an even greater price for their indiscipline in the hard currency of points.
Bans imposed in tandem with the fines mean manager Arsene Wenger will have to do without captain Patrick Vieira, fellow midfielder Ray Parlour and defenders Martin Keown and Lauren for an awkward trip to fifth-placed Birmingham.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed Arsenal got off lightly as part of a deal with the Football Association chiefs.
The likelihood of such connivance however is diminished by the fact that Vieira and Parlour will be absent for a match that a third central midfielder, Gilberto, will also be missing.
After playing for his country in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Uruguay, the Brazilian will not
have sufficient time to recover from the combined effects of the match, a 12-hour flight to London and his jet-lag.
With the Gunners facing a must-win Champions League encounter next week, Wenger has decided in advance that Gilberto, who scored an own goal in Brazil's 3-3 draw, will have the weekend off.
"Gilberto will come back Friday afternoon and we have had bad experiences with players coming back," the Frenchman told Arsenal.com.
"We play on Tuesday night at Inter Milan so I don't think it will be a good situation for Saturday or the midweek game."
Wenger admits the absence of Lauren and Keown, who are beginning four and three-match bans respectively, has also given him a major headache.
"We have no problem in offensive areas but I have a big problem in midfield and at the back because Lauren, Parlour, Vieira, Gilberto, and Keown are not available.
In defence, Wenger has the choice of bringing in 18-year-old Justin Hoyte at right back or moving Kolo Toure there with Pascal Cygan slotting in at centre back but in midfield he admits he is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The only bright spot for the Arsenal boss is that title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea will also feel the jet
lag factor this weekend.
Chelsea duo Hernan Crespo and Juan Veron were both involved in Argentina's 1-1 draw in Colombia and are unlikely to figure in Claudio Ranieri's starting line-up at Southampton.
Ranieri does however have Eidur Gudjohnsen and Damien Duff fresh and raring.
Iceland's captain Gudjohnsen opted not to travel for his country's midweek friendly with Mexico in San Francisco while Duff scored a superb solo goal in Ireland's 3-0 win over Canada on Tuesday.
United striker Diego Forlan scored twice for Uruguay against Brazil but will have been back in England for less than 24 hours by the time his club kick-off against Blackburn in a lunchtime match at Old Trafford.
As a result, Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to play his third game in eight days but after scoring a hat-trick for Holland in their 6-0 Euro 2004 play-off romp against Scotland on Wednesday, the Dutchman is sure to be flying.
Gary Neville is doubtful for United as a result of a niggling Achilles problem which he aggravated playing in England's friendly defeat by Denmark on Sunday.
At the non jet-setting end of the table, Eddie Gray begins his stint as Leeds
caretaker manager with the kind of game his side must win if they are to escape relegation and potential financial meltdown - a home clash with Bolton.
Gray's first act on taking over was to mend fences with Mark Viduka, who had publicly fallen out with former boss Peter Reid. Gray believes getting the best out of the Australian is the key to realising his ambition of making Elland Road an unwelcoming destination for visitors.
"They are coming here thinking if we play properly we'll win the game, but I want them thinking we're going to be under severe pressure for 90 minutes. That's what we've got to instill in the players again."
