tie at the Camp Nou.
The Spaniard is determined to lead his side to the Premier League title after the Londoners were knocked out of three competitions in the span of 13 days. Arsenal lost to Birmingham City 2-1 in the final of the Carling Cup, which denied them their first
trophy in six years. Subsequent losses to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Manchester United meant that they were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup respectively.

of the season.

Arsenal will play Blackburn in a crucial clash at the Emirates Stadium and will look to pile the pressure on leaders Manchester United, who are five points ahead. However, the North London side still have a game in hand.
Meanwhile, Manchester United play West Ham United at Upton Park in their next game. The Gunners will be hoping that the Hammers can do them a favour, by carrying forward their great form from the last few weeks.
