Arsenal v Cardiff Live

Arsenal will play hosts to Coca Cola Championship side Cardiff City as they meet in a replay of the fourth round of the F A Cup which is live here at oleolefootball.watchlive.net at 19:45 GMT on Tuesday 3^rd February with live football streams online.

Cardiff produced a magnificent performance in the original tie at Ninian Park where they at least fully deserved to take the tie to a replay. The Welsh side had numerous chances throughout the first-half to take the lead, with the best chances falling to Joe Ledley and Paul Parry who both failed to hit the target. Arsenal began to fight back late in the first-half but Cardiff almost stole the game late on when Ross McCormack’s free-kick hit the woodwork, but a draw was a fair result for either side, though Arsenal could have done without the extra fixture.

The Gunners have drawn their previous three fixtures with the most recent a 0-0 draw against West Ham in the Premiership. The sides have met 9 times in the F.A cup before, with Arsenal leading the way with 4 wins whilst Cardiff have won twice and the sides have drawn 3 times. Abou Diaby and Emmanuel Eboue are both doubts for the game whilst key players such as Mikael Silvestre, Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky and Theo Walcott are still out with injuries.

Arsenal may be firm favourites to win the game this week but will have to watch out for a Cardiff side who are undefeated in 13 games, including sides like Reading and Birmingham who sit in the top three positions in the Championship. Roger Johnson and Joe Ledley are doubts for the game with defender Gabor Gyepes definitely out but captain Darren Purse should return.
