'Unofficial' champions Arsenal head into their seventh title match on Saturday when they host Blackburn Rovers at The Emirates.
Both sides will be looking for a win but looking at the history books you can understand why Arsenal are the strong favorites despite missing a whole host of players in fact as I am writing this the latest round of International matches are going on and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger must be looking through his fingers hoping no-one else gets an injury.
Come Saturday Arsenal could be without the likes of Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Johan Djourou and Vermaelen but even with these players missing Arsenal will be to strong for Rovers.
Despite being in 13th place Blackburn are only one point away from the relegation zone so need a win to get themselves away from the chasing pack.
Rovers last win at Arsenal was in season 2002/03 when they beat the Gunners 1-2 (33/1 @ Skybet) but I can't see them repeating that feat.
The early kick-off see's Manchester United playing West Ham United at Upton Park and should the Red Devils win at Upton Park Arsenal will find themselves eight points behind the league leaders so a win is must if they are to remain in the title hunt.
The last match between these two here saw a 6-2 victory for Arsenal with eight different goalscorers. This time round it will still be a home win and this time it'll be 3-0 (15/2 PaddyPower)
Gunners fans what do you think the score will be at the weekend. All views will be printed, as long as their clean!! Email jaymoe26@gmail.com for follow twitter @jamiemason76
