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.
