Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will hand Sol Campbell a second debut against FA Cup opponents Stoke City today - and also intends to field Cesc Fabregas.

Campbell has recovered from a neck injury and will partner Mikael Silvestre in central defence.

There will also be a call-up for Theo Walcott at the Britannia Stadium as manager Wenger attempts to protect many of his regular first team because of the exacting league programme.

Arsenal face a tough next two weeks when they play big guns Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Despite the upcoming games, Fabregas was quick to stress to Wenger that he wanted to play, says the Sunday Mirror.
