Henry returns for Arsenal

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry returned to the side for today’s Barclays Premiership clash against basement club Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry returned to the side for today’s Barclays Premiership clash against basement club Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

The striker had been out with a foot injury, but was fit to partner Emmanuel Adebayor in attack against the Blades.

Alexander Hleb dropped to the bench in what was the only change to the side from last weekend’s 1-0 win at Manchester United.

Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock celebrated the 1,000th game of his managerial career today.

However, without several first-teamers because of injury, the Blades will need all of his tactical guile to record a first Premiership win of the season.

Former Leeds striker Rob Hulse lead the attack for the visitors with club record signing Claude Davis making his debut.
