Sunday afternoon, April 10, in round 32 of the Barclay’s Premier League. Arsenal are favorites to win this away fixture despite their lack of form which encourages Blackpool fans to hope for a vital home victory. But Arsene Wenger’s men have a morale edge ahead of this meeting as they have simply humiliated their Sunday opponents in the first leg in a crushing 6-0 home win.

The Gunners dropped precious points in their last three winnable games against Sunderland, West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers. If they had won these games, they would be just one point behind leaders United with a game in hand and home encounter with the Red Devils on the Emirates Stadium on May 1st. Instead, Arsenal drew in all these games and are now 7 points behind United with slim chances to win the title race.

An expert punter wouldn’t recommend betting on any of these teams as they are both on a terribly bad run of results.

Ian Holloway’s Blackpool are placed 17th in the table league and are just one point above the relegation zone but they seem to be on an obvious downtrend as they have registered a very poor record in their last 11 matches, of which they have won just one, drawn twice, and lost eight.

Nevertheless, a notable statistic shows that the Seasiders have scored in all their home matches this season which is a detail not to be neglected. Moreover, they managed two impressive and convincing home wins over Tottenham and Liverpool and had a 2-0 lead against Manchester United before eventually losing 3-2 in a very dramatic comeback for the Red Devils. We can’t help wondering: Would the Gunners be able to comeback if they were 2-0 down at Bloomfield Road?

Arsene Wenger should be concerned with the defensive problems of his team which has also revealed inability of scoring in their last troubling matches.

Blackpool will put a lot of pressure on the shoulders of their talisman, Charlie Adam as the Scottish has scored some important goals for the Seasiders. Blacpool’s top-scorer DJ Campbell also returns from a three-game suspension. Adam and Campbell have each scored 9 goals for the Tangerines and this powerful strike duo could create a lot of problems for Arsenal’s defense.
