After their shaky start to the season, Arsenal responded well and charged up the Premier League table, however another slump has now seen the Gunners not win in four games.

After a goalless draw in mid-week against Bolton, Arsenal have slipped to seventh in the Premier League and are five-points adrift of Chelsea in the fourth.

Arsenal are in real danger of missing out on a Champions League spot this year. The Gunners have not finished outside of the top four since the 1995/96 season.

Manager Arsene Wenger refused to buy anyone in the January transfer window despite the club suffering an injury crisis. Arsenal are without four fullbacks, while Jack Wilshire suffered a setback in his recovery.

Blackburn meanwhile, suffered a stutter in mid-week after losing 2-0 against Newcastle.

That was Rovers’ second defeat in six games and the relegation threatened club need to keep picking up points if they are to survive this season.

Club captain Chris Samba has stated he cannot give 100% after seeing his transfer request rejected, and has not started recently. However, he may be in for a recall against Arsenal this weekend.

Earlier in the season Blackburn stunned the Gunners with a 4-3 win at Ewood Park, however it will be a different task at the Emirates, as Rovers have not won at Arsenal since 2002.
