დღეს იმედია ბიჭები არ შემარცხვენენ
PSV Eindhoven welcome Arsenal to the Philips Stadion on Tuesday, with coach Ronald Koeman facing a real selection headache. The Dutch side qualified for the knockout stage by virtue of finishing second in Group C, but they face no easy task against last season's beaten finalists.
PSV have never beaten Arsenal in the Champions League, while The Gunners have never lost to Dutch opposition in Europe's premier club competition, and Koeman also has a number of injury worries to contend with.
Jefferson Farfan has been a key figure for PSV this term, but he is a major doubt with a badly swollen left foot. Koeman will give the Peruvian every chance to prove his fitness, but Diego Tardelli is waiting in the wings to partner Arouna Kone in attack.
Koeman is definitely without injured trio Ibrahim Afellay, Patrick Kluivert and Michael Reiziger, while Eduardo Alcides is not eligible to play.
Manuel da Costa handed Koeman a much-needed boost on Monday by declaring himself fit, having missed the weekend win over Heracles Almelo, but long-term absentee John de Jong is not yet fit to return.
Chinese left-back Xiang Sun has impressed in training in recent weeks and Koeman is contemplating handing him a Champions League debut, while Jan Kromkamp is looking to shake off a minor niggle.
Arsenal passed up the chance to train at the Philips Stadion by only arriving in Eindhoven on Monday evening.
Lack of preparation will not be a problem for Arsene Wenger's men, as The Gunners are determined to erase the heartbreak of last season's final defeat from the memory banks.
Arsenal come into the game on the back of a frustrating draw with Blackburn in the FA Cup, but it was a game which saw the return of William Gallas.
The French defender came through the game without mishap and is set to start in Holland, but his position is not yet clear.
Wenger saw Justin Hoyte join Emmanuel Eboue in the treatment room and Gallas or Johan Djourou could be asked to fill in at right-back.
The Frenchman has taken an 18-man squad to Eindhoven, but Theo Walcott and Abou Diaby did not travel with Sunday's Carling Cup final with Chelsea in mind.
Alexander Hleb has shaken off the effects of a cold, while Jens Lehmann, Gilberto Silva and Julio Baptista are also back in contention after being rested at the weekend.
