The Prodigal son returns
 |
| He is back! |
As reported by Goal.com, Thierry Henry is all set for a 3rd loan spell coming back to Arsenal.
The all time highest goal scorer for Arsenal will come at a time when the Gunners are firing blanks and he would hope to provide the required ammunition to turn the season around for Arsenal just as he did last season.
Arsenal hope that the loan deal will see Henry being at the club much longer than 6 weeks which is what had happened last time he had come back. Howvers, Henry's owners, New York Red Bulls, are not to keen on extending his stay but have agreed in principle to allow him to go to his beloved team in January.

| Can he do the impossible? |
Chelsea will have the ignomy of being the first defending champions of the Champions League to be knocked out in the first round if results dont go their way tonight. Chelsea's fortune depends on them winning their home game and then hoping Donetsk do them a favour by getting atleast a draw against Juventus. Meanwhile Celtic need to beat Spartak Moscow and hope Barca beat Benfica.
Manchester United and Barcelona are already through to the knockout stages of the competition and we can expect a number of changes to their respective teams tonight.
