htafc.com talked to Town boss Stan Ternent this morning ahead of Wednesday night's friendly against Arsenal (kick-off 7pm) and he told us it's a 'night of celebration' for the Club and it's fans.

"We're going to be playing against one of the best teams around - certainly in this country, perhaps even the world," the Gaffer admitted. "Arsenal have fantastic players and it should be a real night of celebration. It's great for the fans to see really top class players, which they will whatever team they put out because even their younger players are excellent technically. Those are the standards we would like to achieve, so it's a game to look forward to."

The game falls just three days before the start of the new League One campaign and Stan admitted that he will rotate his players in order to keep them fresh and injury-free.

"I'll mix our players around a bit with the game being three days ahead of the start of the season. I want them all to play and the result isn't of great importance - it's more about celebrating the 100 years of the Club and the connection of Herbert Chapman, a very successful manager both here and at Arsenal. It should be a night that the fans enjoy."

Ternent also gave the Club's official website an update on the injury situation ahead of the game.

"Paul Gerrard has a groin strain and will not be involved, but David (Unsworth) will play. We have an injury to Michael Flynn as he has felt a little tweak and we won't take a chance, whereas young Danny Broadbent went over on his ankle last week; that's not too serious, but he's not quite ready. We'll look after Boothy as well, but everybody else will be given a chance to play."
