Five reasons why Arsenal will get some revenge on Burnley
Arsenal/Burnley, Sunday 1.30pm, Setanta Sports 1, Best Odds
Everyone was starting to believe that Arsenal’s youngsters were invincible and destined for Carling Cup glory until they went to Burnley and got knocked off their perch in December. Now Arsene Wenger is ready to use his big name players to gain revenge as Arsenal look to record consecutive wins for the first time since mid-January.
1. Arsenal have won eight of their nine home cup games this season and have conceded just one goal over the course of those games.
2. The Gunners haven’t lost a home FA Cup match for over twelve years, with their last defeat coming against Leeds in February 1997. They have hosted 28 games in the competition since.
3. Despite underperforming at the Emirates recently, Arsenal are brilliant when welcoming opposition from the North West. They have won five and drawn one of their six to date.
