FA Cup 4th Round Replay Monday February 16th

Arsenal v Cardiff (Live on Setanta Sports)
Well I think its a relief to us all that this tie will finally be put to bed tonight. 22 days after Arsenal and Cardiff played out a rather stale 0-0 at Ninian Park, Setanta dare again to show the replay at The Emirates. This one was called off two weeks ago because of the heavy snow and now, a round behind the rest of the competition, these two sides will meet for a chance to play Burnley in round 5. Arsenal go into this game as heavy favourites but they really have not been playing well, failing to score in their last three games. Their exciting new signing Arshavin is cup tied, Adebayor has a hamstring injury and Croatian striker Eduardo is still not match fit. Championship Cardiff are a difficult side to break down and their run to the Final last season will be a source of inspiration as they look to reach the latter stages of this competition again. Due to Arsenal's lack of form, their paucity of options in midfield and attack and the fact that Cardiff will be chomping at the bit for this game, I'm going to take the Welsh side to secure at least a draw in 90 minutes play.

Draw @ 100/30 Stan James
