71: Sylvain Wiltord comes on for Kanu.

Team news: Tottenham's Ukrainian striker Sergei Rebrov returns to the starting line-up along with England international Darren Anderton.

Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira is only fit enough to take up a place on the bench after recent hamstring trouble. The Gunners again opt for Thierry Henry and Nwankwo Kanu in attack with Dennis Bergkamp on the bench.
