Draw beckons for Arsenal
The Frenchman is out for the rest of the season through injury and hence will miss the trip to Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Gunners are out of all the cup competitions and while they are on course for another Champions League spot, Arsene Wenger needs to put down a marker for next season.
However, they're coming up against an Everton side who have lost just three times in 14 starts at home in the league this season and have suffered defeat just once in their last seven games.
Arsenal will probably have enough class to escape with a point so we will take Betterbet.com's 9/4 for the draw and take it onto the CIS Insurance Cup final between Kilmarnock and Hibs at Hampden.
Betterbet.com's 11/5 for the draw in this match looks good to us.
Both sides are evenly-matched, to say the least. Both sit on the same points total in the SPL, with the three clashes this season producing a win for each and a draw.
On their day both are capable of playing good football with perhaps the Easter Road side just easier on the eyes than their more robust Ayrshire counterparts.
Hibs have not won the Scottish Cup in 105 years but their League Cup record is better - it's only 16 years since they last paraded that trophy down Princess Street.
Killie, meanwhile, have to go back 10 years for their last major trophy.
But it's a draw for us with the Rugby Park side maybe to nick it in extra-time.
