Anelka may play Arsenal

Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has revealed that he may be fit in time to play his old club Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in the Premiership on Sunday afternoon. Anelka missed Chelsea's 4-4 draw with Tottenham on Wednesday evening.

Anelka said ahead of the Tottenham game: “I felt a pain behind my thigh before the match with Derby last Wednesday. The injury is not serious but I preferred to rest it for the Sunderland game and it's also better that I don't play against Tottenham.

Anelka reportedly was keen to rest for the big game last night in order to make sure he was fully fit for the weekend's match against the Gunners.
