Blackburn Rovers vs Arsenal live Online

Catch up on all the action from the Carling Cup live here on www.oleolefootball.com. Blackburn Rovers gear up to face Arsenal in the midweek  Carling Cup quarter finals looking to emulate their FA Cup heroics over Arsenal last time around.

Blackburn have added a bit of flair to the rugged tenacity and disciple that Mark Hughes has imbibed in his past three years at Blackburn and do look a tough nut to crack at home. The Carling Cup represents their only realistic chance of domestic glory this season and they would be banking on the attacking poweress of Benny McCarthy and Pedersen to help them get past the mighty Gunners. Blackbrun has enjoyed decent success over Arsenal over the past five seasons at home including a 2-0 triumph in 2002 that derailed Arsenal’s title aspirations. Robbie Savage is fit again for this clash and this should come as a big bonus for Mark Hughes’s side as they would be hoping the tenacious fighting Welshman stifles out Arsenal’s   midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas in the battle for midfield domination.

Arsenal’s campaign which had been nothing less than  spectacular over the past few months,has hit a bump following losses to Sevilla and Middlesbrough and a mediocore draw away to Newcastle in the past fortnight.However,they will be given a big boost following the return to action of ace Dutchman Robin van Persie.Van Persie was the difference between the two sides in the FA Cup semifinal held at Edwood Park in the season 2004/05 and Arsene Wneger would hoping that the enigmatic Dutch striker would make a positive impact on the clash. Arsenal have disposed of Newcastle United 2-0 and Sheffield United 3-0 to reach en route to the quarterfinals while Rovers have beaten Birmingham City, 3-0, and Portsmouth, 2-1, to reach the quarter finals.

In the earlier clash between the two teams, a Robin Van Persie goal gave Arsenal an early lead before a Jens Lehman error gifted and equalizer to David Dunn later to end the Premiership tie 1-1.
