Dennis Bergkamp ... Thierry Henry ... Patrick Vieira ... Kanu ...Emmanuel Adebayor, linked today with a £25 million transfer to Manchester City.

These are some of the Arsenal stars who have scored and graced the Underhill turf in the past nine seasons of the traditional pre-season friendly against Barnet.

The ticket office at Underhill will be open until 7.30 p.m. today for sales for tomorrow's visit of Arsene Wenger's current crop of exciting stars.

The Gunners' squad will be announced later today. Dutchman Nacer Barazite, who spent last season on loan with Derby County, has scored in the last two seasons and is hoping to be named again.

Although the Gunners have held the upper hand and scored 27 goals in the pipe-opener to the new season, the Bees have managed two goal-less draws, in 2003 and 2006.

Arsenal play their reserve games at Underhill and Arsene Wenger is an admirer of the playing surface. The Bees have an excellent relationship with their Premiership visitors.
