Nice comeback by Arsenal, but honestly they wont win the EPL so I dont see the significance of this win...although its better than a draw obviously.

Good win by the gunners.
I still think that arsenal is the best team in England.
If someone disagrees with me then check there games with the big 3.
Beat Liverpool 3 times this season, beat Man United 2 times and got an away point with chelsea and wil probably beat them at home.
Im happy we got a point with them away, but they'll probably beat us in St James' Park.

the best team right now Jan 23, is Man U, not even a question, and just by beating top teams, does not mean u are the best.Ties against Man City at home and losses to Shef United do not make you the best team. However, they still have the best player and play the most exciting football.

Arsenal v Bolton



Sunday 28 January
Kick-off: 1600 GMT

Arsenal and Bolton are facing each other in the FA Cup for the third season running. The Gunners were on route to winning the trophy in 2004-05, when they won 1-0 in the quarter-finals at Highbury with a third minute goal from Fredrik Ljungberg. Last season at this same fourth round stage, Bolton won 1-0 at the Reebok with a score from Stylianos Giannakopoulis six minutes from time. This is the 10th time the pair have been drawn against each other in the oldest, and arguably the greatest knock-out competition in world club football, and Arsenal lead 5-4.

Arsenal
The Gunners have a proud unbeaten record to defend at the Emirates Stadium, and were on a five-match winning run home and away, until Tottenham held their youngsters to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night. That winning streak included dispatching FA Cup holders Liverpool in the last round, 1-3 at Anfield, and following that three days later with a 3-6 League Cup triumph on the same ground. (BBC)

New injuries:
Hleb, Eboue

Bolton
Bolton has become something of a bogey side for Arsenal, having lost once to them in seven League and Cup meetings. But all four of their victories in that seven-match sequence have been at the Reebok. That includes this seasons League fixture on 25 November when Nicolas Anelka scored twice against his former club in a 3-1 victory. However the Trotters have not won at the home of the north Londoners since a 1-3 triumph after extra time in an FA Cup fourth round replay on 9 February 1994, when Jason McAteer, John McGinlay and Andy Walker scored their goals.
