http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/3349313.stm Leeds v Arsenal Elland Road Sunday, 4 January Third Round Kick-off: 1605 GMT Referee: Rob Styles (Hampshire) Replay date: Wed, 14 January 2004 - 1945 GMT Leeds will be without the on-loan Jermaine Pennant as Arsenal have refused him permission to play. 由 Arsenal 租借到 Leeds 的 Pennant 由於租借合约上的规定, 本场比赛只能坐壁上观. But James Milner could be promoted to the starting line-up from the bench, where he started the defeat by Wolves last Sunday. 然而 Leeds 另一年轻小将 Milner 将有可能被推上火线. Arsenal will have Ashley Cole available after suspension and he is expected to replace Gael Clichy at left-back. A. Cole 因禁赛期满可望重回 Arsenal 先发十一人名单中, 此前由 Clichy 顶替 Col e的位置 Lauren and Martin Keown are also hoping for first-team recalls. 伤癒的 Lauren 与 Keown 也有望进入到比赛名单中. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ KEY MATCH STATS LEEDS UNITED have home advantage against holders Arsenal. Ahead of them is the task of bringing to a halt one of the longest unbeaten sequences in FA Cup history. Leeds 虽然拥有主场优势, 但面对的将是一只在足总盃历史上几只拥有最长不败的球队 - Arsenal ! Leeds knocked out the Gunners the last time they locked horns in the FA Cup, winning a Fourth Round tie seven years ago. Leeds 在足总盃的竞逐中, 距离上一次击败 Arsenal 已经是七年前的事了, 当年 Leeds 在足总盃第四轮以 1:0 击退 Arsenal. The Whites may be struggling in the Premiership and in dire need of the cash from a prolonged Cup run, but a Quarter-final berth last time around was their best FA Cup performance in five years. Leeds 在英超中苦苦挣扎, 并希望从盃赛的胜利中获取大量奖金以纾解资金上的窘境. 然而在足总盃上进入 1/4 决赛的成绩已经是 Leeds 这五年内最佳成绩了. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ARSENAL set out in their quest to become only the third club ever to win the FA Cup three years running, following The Wanderers (1876, 1877 and 1878) and Blackburn Rovers (1884, 1885 and 1886) for which they were awarded a special trophy. The Gunners are also hoping to qualify for the Final for a fourth successive year. 足总盃至今仅有两只球队能顺利完成三连霸的殊荣 - 分别是The Wanderers (1876-78), Blackburn Rovers (1884-86) Arsenal 此次客场出击 Leeds 将作为足总盃历史上第三只挑战三连霸的球队. Only Manchester United can go one better than Arsenal, who've lifted the trophy nine times. Michael Owen was the last player to score a winning FA Cup goal against the Gunners. In fact he hit two as Liverpool came from behind to win the 2001 Final, 2-1. 在足总盃冠军奖盃数量上能超越 Arsenal 的球队仅有 MU, MU 总共赢得了十次头衔. 而迄今哪个球员是最後一个在足总盃决赛上攻破 Arsenal 的大门呢 ? 答案是 Owen, 2001 年在决赛上 Owen 两次攻破 Arsenal 大门, 助 Liverpool 以 2-1 击败 Arsenal. The North London giants stand one place and one point behind Manchester United at the top of the Premiership, are still alive in the Champions League and Carling Cup and have gone 16 matches without defeat in all competitions, winning 12 of the last 15. That includes a 1-4 Premiership victory at Elland Road on 1 November. 北伦敦巨人在英超上仅以一个积分落後在榜首 MU 身後, 也同时在冠军联赛以及联赛盃上 保有资格. 并且在各类竞赛中已经是 16 连不败, 最近15场比赛中赢得了其中12场, 之中 当然包含了11月1日在 Elland Road 以 4:1 击退 Leeds 的比赛. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- to be continued ~ -- 我爱我老婆 ~~~~ Aarita ~~~ --
