Now the question beckons, does Wenger start Henry against a very talented Swansea side? For me and this is coming from an Arsenal fan and a great admirer of Henry, he should not start the game in Wales today. His fitness for me clearly wasn't there against Leeds, and while his sheer presence and experience would perhaps shake the Premier League new comers, it has been very clear this season that Swansea are not a team that will simply lie down and accept defeat, and Thierry's lack of full-pace Premiership football could catch up on him.
I will make a bold statement and suggest that Andrey Arshavin should start against the Swans and who knows this could be his lucky break. The Russian showed signs of work-rate against Leeds, and perhaps a patch of form is all he needs. However a substitute appearance in Wales wouldn't go a miss for Henry and i'm almost certain he will feature at some point in the game today.
Who will Wenger choose?
Any other opinions? Comments always welcome.
