[size=20pt]MATCH PREVIEW[/size]

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said he is
determined to enjoy another successful year in
the FA Cup and has set his sights on defending the
trophy the club won last May.
The Gunners came back from two goals down
against Sunday's opponent in last year's final,
with Aaron Ramsey scoring an injury-time winner
to end Arsenal's nine-year wait for silverware.
"We want another cup run and we want to, if
possible, keep the trophy. We have won it five times
in my period in charge, so that means we know the
importance that it has," said the Frenchman.
"It is a great memory, but we have a big job to do
on Sunday and after [more games in] the Premier
League, then we have the Champions League.
"What is for sure is that we have room for
improvement and we have to manage to do that
quickly."
The Arsenal boss insisted he would not have left
the club had they not beaten Hull at Wembley last
year.
"Walk away? No. I have just won my 600th game
out of 1,000 - that means I have won 60% of the
games and after 18 years, you would not be serious
to walk away for losing one game," added the
Frenchman.
"I do my job as well as I can and I respect my
contract. It [the suggestion he would leave] was
because we didn't win a trophy for years and
people want that."
Hull boss Steve Bruce says he will "count up the
numbers" before selecting his team.
"There were a lot of tired bodies after the Everton
game and it was our physical work-rate that was
the difference in that game. We had energy about
us that Everton struggled with,"
"Let's not forget that the FA Cup was magical for
us last season. We couldn't have picked a much
more difficult tie to start with this time -
especially after playing three games in six days -
and I will freshen the side up.
"We'll see what we can do and hopefully we'll go
there and give them a good game."

England forward Theo Walcott is expected to start
for Arsenal in their third round FA Cup tie against
Hull.
Goalkeeper David Ospina is set to replace Wojciech
Szczesny in Sunday's clash at the Emirates, while
Mesut Ozil is close to full fitness after injury.
Hull boss Steve Bruce is likely to make changes with
Tom Huddlestone and Stephen Quinn back after
suspension.
Andrew Robertson, Liam Rosenior and Gaston
Ramirez will not feature after suffering injuries
against Everton.

Sergio Aguero is on course to make his Manchester City
comeback against Arsenal.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini believes his 19-goal top
scorer ought to be fit for the clash with Arsene
Wenger's side on Jan. 18.
He also thinks that Edin Dzeko will alleviate City's
striking injury crisis by returning sooner, for the trip to
Everton on Jan. 10.
The Bosnian has missed City's last five games after
suffering a calf injury in the warm-up at Leicester,
while Aguero suffered a knee injury in the 1-0 win
over Everton earlier in December.
Pellegrini has always been confident both forwards
would be available for the clash with title rivals Chelsea
on Jan. 31 and has now confirmed he expects them
back sooner.
"I hope in the next week Edin Dzeko will be fit and in
the next week [after that] will be 'Kun' [Aguero]," he
said in his news conference after Thursday's 3-2 win
over Sunderland.
In the absence of both Aguero and Dzeko, teenager
Jose Angel Pozo led the line at Leicester before
midfielder James Milner spent three games as an
auxiliary striker.
Then Stevan Jovetic, who had been out with a hamstring
problem, started and scored against Sunderland.
However, the Montenegrin said that he, too, prefers to
operate in a deeper role, telling the Manchester
Evening News: "It is not James' position, and it is also
not mine.
"I have played a couple of games as a lone striker, but
I prefer to play with someone in front of me. But this is
an emergency and I feel I did well and can do it
again."
Pellegrini also suggested Willy Caballero, who came in
for Joe Hart against Sunderland, will keep his place
for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday.
The Argentine, who was a summer signing from
Malaga, played back-to-back games in the Capital One
Cup and the Premier League in September and
Pellegrini hinted at a repeat.
He added: "It is important when you play so many
games -- not only for Joe but for other players -- to
have an important rotation. I did the same before the
Capital One Cup for Willy Caballero. So I think it's good
for Willy, good for Joe and good for the team."

Match Preview


Chelsea will attempt to get back on track when
welcoming Watford in the third round of the FA
Cup on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho's team suffered their lowest point
of the campaign by falling to a surprise second
league defeat on Thursday.
Tottenham were their conquerors, putting in a
dominant display to earn a 5-3 triumph as
Chelsea began 2015 in dreadful fashion.
The result left Mourinho's side, considered as
certainties by many for the Premier League title
just a few weeks ago, level on points with
champions Manchester City at the top of the table.
The Portuguese will be determined to ensure that
does not represent the start of a rut, even if he
seems certain to significantly shuffle his pack
having not made too many alterations during an
extremely busy festive period.

Chelsea have lifted the FA Cup seven times in thei
history, with one of those triumphs coming under
their current boss.
Mourinho oversaw victory in 2006-07 during his
first tenure with the club, Didier Drogba - who is
also back at Chelsea having spent some time away
- grabbing the only goal of the final in extra time
to sink Manchester United.
They were eliminated at the fifth-round stage
last time out, losing 2-0 to a Manchester City side
that knocked out Watford in the previous round.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech is among those likely to come
in, while star men Diego Costa and Eden Hazard
are strong candidates to be rewarded with a rest
as a full-strength squad provides Mourinho with
ample opportunities to rotate.
Blues manager Jose Mourinho will aim to balance
fielding a side to advance with one which gives his
players a rest after an arduous festive fixture
schedule which culminated in Thursday's 5-3
defeat at Tottenham

Watford team news

Watford will have to make at least one change as
midfielder Adlene Guedioura has returned to
Crystal Palace at the end of his loan spell.
Centre-back Sebastien Bassong, who missed
Sunday's 4-2 Sky Bet Championship win at Cardiff
due to a dead leg, is ineligible to feature under the
terms of his loan deal from Norwich.
Fellow defenders Joel Ekstrand (back) and
Gabriel Tamas (cruciate) are still on the sidelines,
but strikers Troy Deeney and Matej Vydra could
return to the starting line-up.
Among Watford’s current vintage, Hungary
international midfielder Daniel Tozser is poised to
make his FA Cup debut and insists his team-mates
must take on their illustrious opponents without
fear.

The Reds captain will depart Anfield upon the
expiration of his contract in the summer, thus bringing
down the curtain on a trophy-laden 17 years on
Merseyside


Steven Gerrard has
confirmed that he will leave
Liverpool when his contract
expires in June.
The Reds captain, who made
his debut in 1997, has been heavily linked with a
move to the American MLS, specifically LA Galaxy.
Gerrard was offered a new contract to stay at
Anfield in December, with Brendan Rodgers
expressing his hope that the 34-year-old would
commit his future to the club, but he will instead look
to finish his career away from the Premier League.
"This is an era where 'legend' is vastly overused, but
in his case it actually doesn't do him justice,"
Rodgers said in a statement following Gerrard's
announcement.
"As a leader and as a man, he is probably
incomparable to anyone I have ever worked with."
The star has become a Liverpool legend since making
his bow as a 20-year-old, captaining the club to
Champions League glory in 2005, and he has also won
two FA Cups, two League Cups, one UEFA Cup and two
UEFA Super Cups. The one prize that has eluded him
remains the Premier League.
But, despite his bulging trophy cabinet, Gerrard has
had to cope with a withdrawn role this season, with
Rodgers often opting to bench the veteran in favour
of rotating his options. One such occasion came in the
Champions League clash with Real Madrid, leading to
reports that Gerrard was considering his future.
In total, he has made 26 appearances in all
competitions this season, scoring seven goals.

match facts


Newcastle United have scored the highest
proportion of second-half goals in the Barclays
Premier League (76%) this term.
Newcastle scored two goals from three shots on
target in their 2-1 win over Chelsea at St James'
Park in December.
Chelsea have scored with 18% of their shots and hit
the target with 50%. Both are league-high figures.
Newcastle have scored more goals from substitutes
than any other team in the top flight (eight),
including Papiss Cisse's double in their victory over
Chelsea last month


MATCH PREVIEW

Newcastle United caretaker boss John Carver says
he is going to enjoy the challenge of facing Jose
Mourinho's Chelsea when the two sides meet at
Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Carver has been given the interim role following
the departure of Alan Pardew, who was confirmed
as the new Crystal Palace manager last weekend,
and has made no secret of his desire to coach his
hometown club on a permanent basis.
Newcastle's 2-1 win over Chelsea at St James'
Park last month made it three consecutive home
league successes against the title challengers but it
is different story on their travels to west London.
The Tyneside club have earned one league victory
at Stamford Bridge since 1986 but Carver is
undaunted by the task of improving that record.
"We're going up against one of the best sides - and
best manager - in Europe, if not the world," said
Carver. "We've got a good record against Chelsea
and we have to use that to our advantage this
weekend. It'll be great standing in the technical
area next to him. I'm going to take it in my stride
and I'm going to enjoy it, but I want to win."

Chelsea have stuttered in the BPL in recent weeks,
with a draw at Southampton and a 5-3 defeat to
Tottenham Hotspur leaving them with an identical
record to second-placed Manchester City.
Mourinho's side now top the table by virtue of
alphabetical order, but, after a 3-0 FA Cup win
over Championship side Watford, striker Loic Remy
- who spent last year on loan at Newcastle from
QPR - insists spirits are high.
"The mood is really positive and we're still focused
on all of our targets. During the season every team
will be in trouble at certain times," he said. "For us
I hope it's behind us now with the last two league
games. The players are still happy. Against
Watford we deserved the win and we showed we
can react.
"We're still top of the league, we've qualified for
the next round in the FA Cup so there is no reason
to be negative. It's going to be hard but we want to
win every competition, that's why the mentality
and quality of the squad can make the
difference."
Chelsea have no injury concerns heading into the
fixture. Newcastle could be set to welcome first-
choice goalkeeper Tim Krul - out since November
with an ankle problem - back into the starting XI
after playing in a behind-closed-doors friendly
on Thursday.

Krul's deputy Rob Elliot (thigh) is still out, along
with Rolando Aarons (hamstring), Mehdi Abeid
(toe), Ryan Taylor (knee), Steven Taylor
(Achilles) and Siem de Jong and Gabriel Obertan
(both thigh). Sammy Ameobi has a knee complaint,
while Cheick Tiote and Papiss Cisse are both away
on Africa Cup of Nations duty. It remains to be
seen whether Fabricio Coloccini (buttock), Daryl
Janmaat (groin) and Jack Colback and Moussa
Sissoko (both hamstring) will be fit after missing
the defeat to Leicester City.

Chelsea (from): Cech, Courtois, Schwarzer, Ake,
Azpilicueta, Cahill, Christensen, Filipe, Ivanovic,
Terry, Zouma, Fabregas, Hazard, Matic, Mikel,
Oscar, Ramires, Salah, Willian, Costa, Drogba,
Remy, Schurrle, Solanke.

Newcastle United (from): Alnwick, Krul, Coloccini,
Dummett, Good, Haidara, Janmaat, Santon,
Streete, Williamson, Anita, Bigirimana, Cabella,
Colback, Sissoko, Vuckic, Ameobi, Armstrong,
Ferreyra, Gouffran, Perez, Riviere.
