On the last Sunday of the 2004/2005 Premiership season, Birmingham beat Arsenal 2 – 1. Bergkamp equalised for the Gunners after Pandiani had put Birmingham ahead, but Heskey pounced on a Campbell pass to snatch the game for Birmingham.

In many ways this was another meaningless end-of-season match, with nothing to play for for either team. It was an opportunity for Arsenal to give Freddie Ljungberg a run-out, and give Sol Campbell some more match time to hone his fitness for Saturday’s FA Cup Final clash with Manchester United. Apparently, Henry and Reyes are both injured, and their situation will be reviewed on Thursday. Henry had a slight reaction to last Wednesday’s match against Everton, while Reyes received a kick during training on Saturday. However, if they can return to full fitness, it looks like Wenger will have a full squad available for selection for the match in Cardiff.
Lets hope the match finishes with the right team in red holding up the trophy!
