[Teams] AC Milan vs Arsenal: Chamberlain Benched, Gibbs Starts
Arsenal take on the mighty AC Milan at the San Siro tonight in the first leg of the Champions League encounter.

AC Milan Team:
Abbiati, Mexes, Abate, Thiago Silva, Antonini, Van Bommel, Seedorf, Nocerino, Boateng, Zlatan, Robinho
SUBS: Amelia, Pato, Nesta, Ambrosini, Bonera, Emanuelson, El Shaarawy.
