Bolton comeback kid Holden eager to face Arsenal

Bolton Wanderers comeback kid Stuart Holden expects to face Arsenal this weekend.

The USA midfielder, 26, celebrated his first game in six months following knee surgery with a Carling Cup win over Aston Villa.

Holden, who ruptured ligaments at Manchester United in March, has now targeted a win at the Emirates on Saturday.

He said: "We all know it won't be easy at Arsenal.

"But if we play like we did at Villa, we can go and pick up some points.

"I'll do ice baths and everything I can to put myself in contention."
