Robin van Persie has a “good chance” of facing Manchester United on Sunday despite picking up an injury in training.

The 23-year-old Dutch striker hurt his ankle this week and Arsène Wenger will wait for the results of a scan before deciding over his participation at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. But when he spoke exclusively to Arsenal TV Online on Thursday afternoon the manager seemed optimistic.

“At the moment we think it is a very short-term problem,” said Wenger. “He is going for a scan and after that we will know more about it. He still has a very good chance of being available for Sunday.”

Elsewhere there was mixed news. “Eboue will be available,” said Wenger. “But Ljungberg and Gallas are still out.”

The return of the Ivorian right back will be welcome. He has featured in just 66 minutes of first-team action over the course of the last seven games.

Gilberto is suspended on Sunday after his red card at Blackburn last weekend. However Wenger was positive when asked how he would replace the in-form Brazilian.

“With a good player who will give everything against Manchester United,” he replied. “We have players like Flamini who can come in.  He did well at Liverpool recently.” 

Arsenal TV Online subscribers will be able to see the full interview on Friday morning. In it, Wenger discusses: Man United’s title credentials, Henrik Larsson, why he won’t talk of the title now, the Blackburn win, the race for the Champions League places, the chances of Lauren leaving and why Jeremie Aliadiere’s possible departure would be so painful for him.

Focus: 'It hurts to see Chelsea cavorting with trophies'

By Chris Harris

By Manchester United's lofty standards, three seasons without a title is a pretty poor show. Sir Alex Ferguson's side were the dominant force in English football in the 1990s but Arsenal - and more recently Chelsea - have kept the Premiership trophy away from Old Trafford since 2003.

That could all be about to change. United's title credentials were questioned before the current campaign kicked off but a flying start gave them the momentum to challenge Chelsea. At the time of writing they are six points clear of the champions, free of injury and firing on all cylinders. Oh yes, and they have Ronaldo, a man who has shrugged off the chagrin of press and fans alike in the wake of the World Cup to take his game to a new level.

Ahead of Sunday's big game at Emirates Stadium, we asked Stuart Mathieson of the Manchester Evening News about United's hunger, their two Footballer of the Year contenders, Henrik Larsson's impact and the reaction to Arsenal's 1-0 win at Old Trafford in September.

THE STORY SO FAR

THE STORY SO FAR
"They started the season well and that has carried on. The fear was that United would have a slow start and playing catch-up with Chelsea is very tough. The mindset at United has often been along the lines of 'we'll be OK in the New Year, we'll be there or thereabouts' but that hasn't happened in the last two years. They have been too far behind Chelsea to catch them and that forced them to change their mindset. Ferguson pointed out publicly and in the dressing room that United could not afford a hit-and-miss start. I'm not surprised that United have maintained their solid start, I always felt they were good enough to keep it going. They are a confident bunch of players. After three seasons without a title the novelty will return if they win it but in fairness players like Neville, Giggs and Scholes have never lost that hunger. For these kinds of players this is the longest period they have gone without winning the title and so the hunger and desire is even sharper. As you know, it hurts to see Chelsea cavorting around Stamford Bridge with the trophy."

MAN OF THE MOMENT

MAN OF THE MOMENT
"Well, the only thing that could deny Ronaldo the Player of the Year is Paul Scholes. The pair of them have been terrific and I don't think you can put a cigarette paper between the two. Ronaldo is a more prominent figure because of the World Cup incident and he captures the imagination, but ask United fans and they will tell you how impressive Scholes has been. As for Ronaldo, he always had the trickery but now he has the end product too. He came to United at 18 and at that age you just want to show off as much as you can. He infuriated Ruud van Nistelrooy because when David Beckham was here Ruud would make a run and know when the ball will come. With Ronaldo you never knew when he was going to cross, he would often check back, but now he knows when to do the tricks and equally knows when to send the ball over. He is much more productive now."

NEW FACES

NEW FACES
"Henrik Larsson was terrific in his first game against Aston Villa. We'd all seen him in the Champions League Final when he made such an impact but there was always that wonder whether having made his decision to go back to Sweden, to a league nowhere near La Liga, he would mentally ready. Physically there is not an ounce of fat on him and mentally he's been terrific too. Even if he doesn't score he makes a big impact and creates space for others, we saw that when he came on against Arsenal in Paris last May. Larsson can score plenty of goals but he has also impressed with his intelligence and his running off the ball."

TALKING TACTICS

TALKING TACTICS
"There's no doubt Ferguson will put his best team out. He made a lot of changes over Christmas just to get them through that programme. If they'd played their best team throughout that period they would probably be shattered now but certainly all the big boys will be there against Arsenal. They respect Arsenal, especially what they have been doing of late, but they will attack at Emirates Stadium. Ferguson has a full squad to choose from and this is another important issue. In years gone by they have missed key players for long spells but that hasn't happened this season. Ji-Sung Park is back after an ankle operation and although Gabriel Heinze has been out Patrice Evra is playing so superbly that he wouldn't necessarily get in the side anyway."

IMPRESSIONS OF ARSENAL

IMPRESSIONS OF ARSENAL
"After Arsenal won at Old Trafford in September I think United were resigned to the fact that they were virtually outplayed. Arsenal passed them off the park and were the better side by far really. I don't know whether United got their tactics wrong but it served as a little wake-up call after winning their first four matches. United got out of the traps quickly but the wheels came off against Arsenal. There was a slight reaction against Reading in the next game but they have put it together since then."

Football League Arbitration Statement

Following the decisions taken by the Football League Management Committee today, Arsenal would like to make the following statement in relation to the issues that needed to be resolved by the arbitration panel for the match at Emirates Stadium against Tottenham Hotspur on January 31st 2007.

Ticket Prices
“The Club submitted documentation to the Football League in relation to the ticket pricing policy for the Carling Cup semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium.  In line with our Carling Cup ticketing policy, where pricing is significantly reduced, the Club proposed that all tickets within the stadium would be priced at £40 in the upper tier and £30 in the lower tier, together with concessions for children and OAPs for all areas of the stadium, including the away section. 

“The two clubs did not agree on this policy and the Football League ruled that we had to implement our Category B pricing structure whereby tickets cost between £32 and £66.  The Club reluctantly accepted this judgment but appealed that concessions were to be made available in all areas of the ground.  We are therefore pleased that the Football League has reviewed its decision to activate concessions throughout the stadium as it will make the match more affordable for families to attend.”

Ticket Allocation
“In relation to the ticket allocation for away supporters for the tie at Emirates Stadium, the Club is pleased that the Football League upheld its decision to cap the number at 5173, as the safety of spectators is paramount.  Emirates Stadium has been designed to host up to 9000 away supporters for a cup competition fixture in line with the 15% regulation.  However, to date, we have not hosted a cup match at Emirates Stadium and were therefore advised by the Football Licensing Authority and Islington Council, as well as supported by the Met Police, that it was unsafe to make the considerable increase from 3000 to 9000 away supporters in one single step. 

“On the upside, as a result of accommodating over 5000 away supporters for the first time at Emirates Stadium on January 31st, we will be in a position to review the opposition’s allocation with the necessary parties for future cup ties.  This will hopefully enable the Club to provide visiting teams with the maximum 15% allocation for the FA Cup and Carling Cup competitions. 

“We now look forward, to what we hope will be, two exciting derby matches between the two north London sides.”

روماریو در لیگ ایران!؟

آقای گل جام جهانی ۱۹۹۴ امریکا در راه پیوستن به پیکان است. خبری که دیروز سرپرست این تیم داد. حسین خوش نظر می گوید: در حال مذاکره با روماریو مهاجم برزیلی هستیم. قرار است تا فردا مذاکراتمان نهایی شود و با این مهاجم قرارداد ببندیم تا در نیم فصل دوم برای پیکان به میدان برود.
پیکانی ها از اواخر نیم فصل بحث جذب یک مهاجم برزیلی را مطرح کرده اند اما مسؤولان باشگاه بارها اعلام کرده بودند که فعلاً قصد آوردن بازیکن جدید را ندارند اما به نظر می رسد بعد از شکست تیم در هفته پایانی نیم فصل نظر پیکانی ها تغییر کرده است. البته پیکانی ها روی مهره خبرسازی انگشت گذاشته اند. مهاجم ۴۱ ساله برزیلی یکی از نوادر فوتبال جهان در تداوم گلزنی است.
او که سابقه آقای گل جام جهانی را نیز دارد تاکنون ۹۸۷ گل به ثمر رسانده و به گفته خودش بزرگ ترین هدفش رسیدن به مرز ۱۰۰ گل پله است. درصورت آمدن روماریو به لیگ برتر او مسن ترین بازیکن لیگ خواهد بود و دیگر کسی نمی تواند به علی دایی که در سن ۳۹ سالگی به میدان می رود خرده بگیرد. روماریو اولین بازیکن بزرگ دنیا است که قرار است وارد فوتبال باشگاهی کشور شود. قبل از او فوتبال ما بازیکنان خارجی بسیاری به خود دیده است اما هیچ یک به عنوان یک سوپر استار فوتبال مطرح نبودند. هرچند روماریو سال ها است که از دوران اوج خود دور است اما او هنوز هم از نظر بدنی خود را آماده نگاه داشته البته اتفاقی که در شرف وقوع است سال ها در کشورهای عربی حاشیه خلیج فارس پیش آمده و باشگاه های این کشورها به خصوص برای مقاطع کوتاه مدت از ستاره های از دور خارج شده فوتبال همچون دونادونی ایتالیایی، دی بوئر هلندی و ژرژوآ لیبریایی و افنبرگ آلمانی استفاده کرده اند اما این بار قرار است این اتفاق در لیگ برتر ایران بیفتد.
البته نمی شود منکر این قضیه شد که فوتبال ما در سال های اخیر به جز چند ستاره نتوانسته گلزن بزرگی معرفی کند به طوری که هنوز علی دایی در صدر گلزنی لیگ برتر ما قرار دارد. رفتن ستاره های ایران به کشورهای عربی نیز دست باشگاه ها را خالی تر کرده به طوری که حالا پیکان به فکر جذب روماریو افتاده است. روماریو در سال ۲۰۰۵ و در سن ۳۹ سالگی برای بالا بردن رکورد گلزنی خود دوباره به فوتبال باشگاهی برزیل بازگشت و در همان سال آقای گل باشگاه های برزیل شد.
جایی که هر ساله معرف گلزنان بزرگ جهان است. او بعد از آن برای ۳ ماه به فوتبال قطر آمد اما بعد از این مدت با نارضایتی این کشور را ترک کرد و به استرالیا رفت. طبق آخرین اخبار روماریو قصد پیوستن به یک تیم دسته دومی برزیل را داشت تا به رکورد هزار گل زده دست یابد اما به نظر می رسد او می خواهد این رکورد را که تا رسیدن به آن ۱۳ گل نیاز دارد را در ایران بزند.
