Arsenal v Blackburn Tip
This striker has scored 7 goals in his last 7 games for Rovers.
Arsenal are huge favourites (3/10 Coral) to book their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday but one man in particular could be a thorn in their side.
Currently the hottest striker outside of the Premier League, Jordan Rhodes has been busy showing why Blackburn were willing to part with £8m for his services back in August. The former Huddersfield goal machine looks well worth a look at best odds of 11/4 (Coral) in the anytime goalscorer market.
Before Tuesday’s trip to Brighton, Rhodes had the found in six consecutive matches for Rovers. The Scotland international has now scored 25 times for club and country in 2012-13 and he will be keen to make a splash at the Emirates.
Michael Appleton will surely start his star striker against the Gunners, as he has done so in both previous rounds of the cup. Blackburn have only lost 1 of their last 10 outings in all competitions and they have a man capable of exploiting an Arsenal defence that can still look suspect.
