Uefa Champions League, third qualifying round, second leg:Venue: Emirates Stadium Date: Wednesday, 27 August Kick-off: 2005 BSTCoverage: Live on BBC Three and streamed live on the BBC Sport website (for UK users only)Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas should be back from a hamstring injury for the second leg Champions League qualifier against Steve McClaren's FC Twente.New signing Mikael Silvestre will not feature because of a thigh muscle strain, while Philippe Senderos is poised to join AC Milan on loan.FC Twente are trying to overturn a 2-0 deficit at the Emirates Stadium.But they are without suspended striker Blaise N'Kufo and fellow forward Marko Arnautovic is sidelined through injury.The Dutch side gave Arsenal a stern test in Arnhem before late goals from William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor saw the Premiership side gain the upper hand.But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists his side must stay focused if they are to qualify for the group stages, with the draw set to take place at 1700 BST on Thursday."That is a danger to be complacent, but there is so much at stake it would be criminal not to be focused," said Wenger."We have done the job well at Twente, but the job is not over. It is either being in the group stages or being out."McClaren is also staying focused on the job in hand as he returns to England looking to get his side back on level terms."It is going to be very difficult to pull back a two-goal deficit, especially against this side at home," said the former England manager."But after the [last] game the players had a lot of belief that they could compete."The match is live on BBC Three and will also be simulcast live on this website (for UK users only).Arsenal (from): Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Denilson, Nasri, Adebayor, Van Persie, Fabianski, Ramsey, Wilshere, Djourou, Gibbs, Song, Bendtner, Eboue.
