Arsene Wenger revealed that Fredrik Ljungberg and Ashley Cole are back in contention for Sunday's North London derby as Arsenal seek to win the Premiership crown at the home of their local rivals.

In 2002, Arsenal clinched the title at Old Trafford but even those feelings would be eclipsed if they could repeat the feat this weekend at White Hart Lane.

To do so, Chelsea must fail to beat Newcastle at St James' Park in a 2 p.m. Sunday kick-off before Arsenal then have to defeat Tottenham, who still need three pointst to avoid the threat of relegation, two hours later.

The Gunners should at least be fresh for the task ahead, given they have not played since their 5-0 battering of Leeds last Friday.

Cole and Ljungberg have both been back in training over the past week after missing the victory against Leeds with ankle and hand injuries respectively.

Apart from reserve goalkeeper Stuart Taylor, who is still sidelined by a shoulder problem, Pascal Cygan is now the only first-team squad member on the injury list.
