Arsenal head into Sunday's FA Cup fourth round clash with Aston Villa on the back of three
consecutive league defeats, but they have still been deemed the favourites by many European
bookmakers to emerge victorious.
Arsenal and Villa last played an FA Cup match nearly 29 years ago at the good old Highbury,
where the Gunners progressed courtesy of a 2-0 win.
Zak Whitbread and Norwich City look to continue in the FA Cup as they take on West Bromwich Albion,
while Jonathan Spector and red hot Birmingham City play Sheffield United in cup play as well.
Thursday's Questions, and Tony finds proof of the smartest coach in MLS, wonders how Jonathan
Spector's Birmingham City are doing, and would like to see MLS have things lined up before they
make announcements. Will Jurgen Klinsmann's focus on fitness during the January camp help the MLS
players in camp during the first part of the long season?
Liverpool and Queens Park Rangers have been alerted to the availability of former Arsenal
midfielder Alexander Hleb, with Barcelona ready to make the out-of-favour Belarusian a free agent,
after talks over cancelling his contract.
The move comes two weeks after Hleb returned to Barcelona following a failed loan spell with
Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg, who had asked to terminate his season-long agreement six months early,
after the 30-year-old struggled with form and fitness, making just four appearances this term.

Liverpool is looking into the possibility of loaning Inter Milan forward Mauro Zarate, according to
The National.
However, for any deal to happen, Inter would have to release Zarate back to his parent club Lazio

Nathan Redmond, who is being valued at £10 million by the midlands club.
Redmond has 2 years remaining on his current deal at St. Andrew's, but has recently attracted
interest from Manchester City and other Premier League clubs.

While the demotion of Manchester City and Manchester United from the UEFA Champions League to

The Anfield club are not flattered by angry words which appear to contradict so much of the good
work they have done in the fight against racism It is more than 30 years since Howard Gayle became
Liverpool's first black player.
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has dismissed suggestions that Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Premier
League leaders Manchester City has brought the Gunners closer to another season without winning any
silverware.
While Koscielny and his teammates now trail the Citizens by a massive 12 points and also
suffered Carling Cup elimination at home to the same outfit a few days ago, they still have the
Champions League and the FA Cup to fight for.
Jonathan Spector and Birmingham City were defeated by Crystal Palace in Monday night English
Championship action.
With the FA Cup third round just around the corner, let's take a look at how the cup was won last
season.
Arsenal and Manchester City were given scares by Championship sides on their way to the fourth
round. The Gunners needed a late penalty to earn a replay at Elland Road, while City were taken to
a replay by Leicester City.
Jozy Altidore got the start for AZ in a 1-1 draw with Metalist. Both goals were scored in the 37th
minute, advancing both teams to the next round. Adam Maher scored AZ's quick equalizer, with the
club finishing ahead of Rapid Vienna on goal differential. Jonathan Spector and Birmingham City's
1-0 win over Maribor left them a point short of advancing to the next stage.
