After the dull 0-0 draw at The Emirates, it is time for the FA Cup 5th Round replay at Ewood Park. Despite being knocked out of Europe, Blackburn will be on a high after beating Portsmouth 3-0 at the weekend. Arsenal on the other hand, will be short of confidence after two consecutive defeats against PSV and Chelsea respectively.
The Gunners have almost enough players out to make an injured XI! With Henry, Rosicky, Van Persie and Diaby injured as well as Walcott, Hoyte and Flamini who are major doubts. Plus, Toure and Adebayor will play out their three match bans following the dismissals against Chelsea. Blackburn have Benni McCarthy back, another worrying sign for Arsenal. But with such a small squad avaliable, Arsene Wenger might have to play some almost unknowns on the bench. Mark Randall is likely to be one of a few lucky kids to be in the squad.
Team Prediction:
----------------------------------Almunia------------------------------------
Eboue-------------------Senderos----------Gallas---------------------Clichy
Hleb--------------------Denilson----------Gilberto----------------Ljungberg
-------------------------Aliadiere---------Baptista--------------------------
Score Prediction:
