Arsenal v Coventry

Arsenal will face Coventry later tonight, in the fourth round of the FA Cup. The match will be played at the Emirate. A win for Arsenal will take them into the last 16 (fifth round) of the FA cup.

Arsene Wenger is expected to rotate his squad by giving some fringe players a chance against Coventry because of the Premier League game against Southampton next Tuesday. Even at that, Wenger said his side will not underestimate Coventry. ''We have to prepare seriously for this game, because we are on a good run and it will be really not welcome at all not to take this game seriously'' said the Frenchman.


Santi Cazorla also said, “Football produces surprises every day and anything can happen in a game. If you underestimate an opponent, they can beat you.“You have to approach these games in the best way possible and not get cocky or it will cost us dearly.”Arsenal and Coventry have met twice in the past in the FA Cup – 1975 and 1977, Arsenal won on both occasions.

They also met in the league cup in 2012, Arsenal won that game 6-1.
There is another FA Cup match tonight between Nottingham Forest and Preston
