This Saturday afternoon Arsenal welcome Blackburn Rovers to The Emirates stadium for one of their must win game. The EPL match Arsenal vs Blackburn kicks off at 1:00 PM GMT on 4th February 2012 at Emirates Stadium in London.

The rumor that the midfielder Jack Wilshere, who was expected to return last month, may not appear at all this season, has rocked Arsenal. However, the performance of defender Bacary Sagna during his return on the game against Bolton has boosted the home side. Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna was out after breaking his leg during the match against Tottenham Hotspur in October, 2011.

January seemed to be a quiet transfer month for Blackburn Rovers. The club tried to keep hold of their talented players. The visitors continue their squad for Saturday’s trip to the Emirates stadium without captain Christopher Samba. Apart from Michel Salgado, who is currently sidelined with a rib injury, Blackburn Rovers still have near full strength.

Arsenal vs Aston Villa 3-2 Highlights 29th January 2012

By Phoenix Rose

In the English soccer’s F.A. Cup fourth round match to be played on 29 January 2012, Arsenal wins over Aston Villa 3 – 2 at Emirates Stadium. While both teams are named strong sides for the encounter, Arsenal, who lost in three previous games, appeared to suffer from another miserable day on the first half of the match. Arsene Wenger's men, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott, fascinatingly overturn two-goal deficit and send the Gunners through as Aston Villa lead the match at the break thanks to two goals from Richard Dunne and Darren Bent. The devastating and inspired second half performance (with three goals in a destructive 10-minute spell) not only brings the Gunners a stunning turnaround against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium but progress the team to the next round of the FA Cup.

Lineups:

Arsenal: Fabianski, Coquelin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Oxlade-Chamberlain (Henry 89), Ramsey, Song, Rosicky (Arteta 71), Walcott (Sagna 88), Van Persie

Aston Villa: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Cuellar, Warnock, Ireland, Petrov (Bannan 82), Clark, Agbonlahor (Gardner 71), Keane, Bent.

A short-corner routine lead to Keane clipping the ball into the box, Dunne immediately rises highest to power the header into the top corner, which give the guests the lead. At 45th minute, Bent continued his good record of six goals in eight appearances against Arsenal and scores a precise ball from a tight angle.

Coming out as a re-energized side after the break, Arsenal instantly fought back. Robin van Persie replies for Arsenal on 54 minutes after Dunne fouled Aaron Ramsey to concede a penalty and dispatches his 24th goal of the campaign. The astonishing turnaround continues as Walcott scores when an attempted clearance hits the winger and rebounds into the net. Arsenal had further chances to extend the lead when Bent brings down Gunners defender Laurent Koscielny and Van Persie scores again.

Robin van Persie tells the ESPN, “At 2-0 down, it’s always going to be a hard task to come back. But a crazy six minutes in the second half changed the game. We worked so hard and we’re excited for the next round”
