Arsenal v Blackburn Rovers – Match Preview and Prices
Saturday’s evening game kicks off at the Emirates as Arsenal look to save their season with 3 points in order to keep chase on league leaders Manchester United. They couldn’t have asked for a better fixture at home against a Blackburn side who have the 2nd worst form in the league.
Arsenal are undefeated in an impressive nine home games and this looks likely to be number ten, despite a Blackburn team desperate to stop the rotten form and threat of relegation.
Former Arsenal man, John Jensen who’ll be in the technical area for the visitors has commented that his side could cause an upset at the Emirates tomorrow. However, Arsenal can boast a number of key players returning to fitness for this game with the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin Van Persie and Theo Walcott all in contention to start.

Rovers have suffered 5 straight away defeats which sees them 1 point away from the drop zone and a team that everyone is picking for the drop with their inexperienced manager Steve Kean in charge.
It’s hard to see anything but a home win for this tie, if Blackburn are to get anything out of this then it would be down to Arsenal’s own self destruction but with key players back for the Gunners, this could turn out to be a riot if they hit form and want to send a message to United.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Blackburn Rovers
