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 由於租借合約上的規定, 本場比賽只能坐壁上觀. 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 另一年輕小將 Milner 將有可能被推上火線. Arsenal will have Ashley Cole available after suspension and he is expected to replace Gael Clichy at left-back. A. Cole 因禁賽期滿可望重回 Arsenal 先發十一人名單中, 此前由 Clichy 頂替 Col e的位置 Lauren and Martin Keown are also hoping for first-team recalls. 傷癒的 Lauren 與 Keown 也有望進入到比賽名單中. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 雖然擁有主場優勢, 但面對的將是一隻在足總盃歷史上幾隻擁有最長不敗的球隊 - 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 在足總盃的競逐中, 距離上一次擊敗 Arsenal 已經是七年前的事了, 當年 Leeds 在足總盃第四輪以 1:0 擊退 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 在英超中苦苦掙扎, 並希望從盃賽的勝利中獲取大量獎金以紓解資金上的窘境. 然而在足總盃上進入 1/4 決賽的成績已經是 Leeds 這五年內最佳成績了. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. 足總盃至今僅有兩隻球隊能順利完成三連霸的殊榮 - 分別是The Wanderers (1876-78), Blackburn Rovers (1884-86) Arsenal 此次客場出擊 Leeds 將作為足總盃歷史上第三隻挑戰三連霸的球隊. 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. 在足總盃冠軍獎盃數量上能超越 Arsenal 的球隊僅有 MU, MU 總共贏得了十次頭銜. 而迄今哪個球員是最後一個在足總盃決賽上攻破 Arsenal 的大門呢 ? 答案是 Owen, 2001 年在決賽上 Owen 兩次攻破 Arsenal 大門, 助 Liverpool 以 2-1 擊敗 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. 北倫敦巨人在英超上僅以一個積分落後在榜首 MU 身後, 也同時在冠軍聯賽以及聯賽盃上 保有資格. 並且在各類競賽中已經是 16 連不敗, 最近15場比賽中贏得了其中12場, 之中 當然包含了11月1日在 Elland Road 以 4:1 擊退 Leeds 的比賽. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- to be continued ~ -- 我愛我老婆 ~~~~ Aarita ~~~ --
