After an impressive win at The Reebok, Arsenal entertain Blackburn in the 5th round of The FA Cup. Considering that Blackburn come from oop north, you would think that Arsenal would struggle against the Rovers. But that is not the case. The Gunners have done the 'double' over Blackburn this season in the Premiership, beating them 6-2 at The Emirates and 2-0 at Ewood Park. That said, it will not be an easy game. Gaffer Mark Hughes has created a side with a balance of strength and skill,and their main threat will be the strikeforce of Benni McCarthy and Shabani Nonda.
Arsene Wenger says he will rotate his team a bit and with the depth of the squad at the moment, it will be exciting to see who Le Boss will play.
Team Prediction:
------------------------Lehmann-----------------------------
Hoyte------------Toure--------Senderos---------------Clichy
Walcott---------Gilberto-------Fabregas-----------Ljungberg
-----------------Henry--------Aliadiere-----------------------
Score Prediction:
Arsenal 2-1 Blackburn
Scorers: Aliadiere, Walcott and Pedersen
