Arsenal Vs Middlesbrough
| Quote: |  Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has a number of injury concerns ahead of his side's trip to Middlesbrough.
The Riverside encounter can be seen live on PremPlus and Wenger will have to give late fitness tests to striker Emmanuel Adebayor and full-back Emmanuel Eboue who are carrying knee and ankle knocks respectively.
Abou Diaby is definitely out after damaging his knee during the Carling Cup win over Tottenham.
Fredrik Ljungberg, William Gallas, Alexander Hleb, Julio Baptista and Robin van Persie are long-term absentees, but Thierry Henry should be at full tilt after sitting out the midweek win over Spurs as The Gunners go in search of a fourth successive win in the Premiership.
Boro came close to claiming victory at Emirates Stadium in the reverse meeting in September and will be in buoyant mood having gone unbeaten through January.
Gareth Southgate's charges dug in to claim a point at Portsmouth in midweek and the Boro chief could be boosted by the return of Mark Viduka.
The Australian has missed the last two games with a hamstring strain, but is looking to get the green light to partner Yakubu Aiyegbeni in attack.
Should the Australian miss out, Malcolm Christie could get another chance to shine, while it is not yet clear if South Korean signing Lee Dong-gook will figure.
Skysports.com Prediction: 1-2
Arsenal to keep up their Premiership challenge.
Player to watch: Tomas Rosicky

Pretty tough long trip 4 Arsenal, because it is not easy 2 play against Boro @ the Riverside. I think Arsenal could be struggle in this game, so I go for Boro to win this game by 2-1 or 1-0. |
