Suker has made a sensational start to his Arsenal career following his switch from Barcelona's bitter rivals Real Madrid and he warmed up for the clash at Wembley with a clinical double against Everton at the weekend. The Croatian striker has managed to work his way up the Gunners' attacking pecking order and has a big match temperament, having finished France 98 as top scorer.

Bogarde's uncompromising style has seen him regain favour at the Nou Camp in the centre of Louis van Gaal's defence and his ability to starve Suker of penalty box scraps will be crucial. But his volatile nature - he was sent off in the 3-3 draw with Numancia at the weekend - may be questioned at a packed Wembley.
