The draw for the 27th edition of Africa's showpiece football event will see 16 teams being divided into four groups for the competition, which takes place from January 10 to January 31, 2010.

Even if they reach finals, they will still have 4-5 days to recover for the Arsenal home game.

Yeah, Arsenal would be missing Adebayor, Toure, Eboue, but really in comparison we are losing a huge chunk of our attack,midfield.

Unless I am missing something , I dont think either of drogba, Mikel or Essien are going to miss the the Arsenal home game. which is 5 days after the finals of AFNC

Yer i think it would be a bit shit for both Arsenal and Chelsea if they both lost out cause of the African cup of nations when it dont really effect Liverpool and Man utd

I'm glad we've got Hull first game.

I think it is, overall, a decent fixture list for us.
