Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger will not be relishing visiting Ewood Park this weekend to take on a Blackburn side, who are more than capable of hurting the Gunners with their straightforward style of football. Indeed, Blackburn boss, big Sam Allardyce has a good head to head record with Wenger when his sides have taken on Arsenal, indeed in the last match played in May, it was Blackburn who won by 2-1. Nonetheless the Bookmakers make Arsenal clear odds on favourites to take the three points, with VC Bet offering the best odds of 4/6. They also go 14/5 the draw and a very tempting 9/2 against Blackburn winning this home match.

In addition to beating Arsenal last season, Blackburn managed to hold Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool at home and only lost three times to Everton, Man City and Spurs and they have already avenged the defeat by Everton, beating them 1-0 in the opening game of this season. A 1-2 defeat by Birmingham last week at St Andrews was followed by a comfortable 3-1 League Cup win over Norwich in midweek, which suggests that Rovers are in good enough form to cause Arsenal some problems this week. Against Norwich it was new signing Mame Diouf who was the hero, scoring a hat-trick on his debut which should be enough to see him get a start against the Gunners. Indeed Diouf looks a very good bet to us at 11/1 with Victor Chandler to score the first goal of the game.
2010/11 Premier League Odds Comparison
Arsenal, have not played convincingly away from home all year, they finished last season, losing three out of four away games and were extremely lucky to come away with a point from Anfield in the season’s opener a couple of weeks ago. It is form that is clearly unacceptable for a team with Premier League title aspirations who now must face a Blackburn team who will test them all the way.
Blackburn v Arsenal LIVE on Sky Sports 2 on Saturday 28 Aug @ 1245
It is likely that they will have both Cesc Fabregas and Robin Van Persie in the starting line-up and Theo Walcott, who scored a superb hat-trick last week in the 6-0 drubbing of Blackpool is also likely to start. Van Perssie in fact is favourite in the First Goalscorer Market with odds of 19/4 also available from victor chandler while Walcott is a 15/2 chance.
We think that Arsenal may struggle in this match, Blackburn have proven to be a lethal team from set pieces and will bombard the Gunners at every opportunity. It is well documented and witnessed that the Gunners have been extremely vulnerable against robust attacks in the past, particularly from set pieces, which is why we are suggesting a narrow home win in this match. To underline the point and also for those who love stats, Blackburn in fact scored 59% of their league goals from set pieces in 2009/10.
Selection 1: Blackburn to win the match @ 9/2 ( £25 Bet wins £112.50)
Selection 2: Diouf to score at anytime during the match @ 5/2 (£25 Bet wins £62.50)
