The EPL gives way to the FA Cup 4^th Round action this weekend with the field so open that the minnows of the lower divisions still have the belief of lifting the Holy Grail.

Arsenal faces the toughest test of the round as they match a Bolton side that loves to bully the Gunners and steal their striking power. The last time they faced off, it was ex-Arsenal striker, Anelka that provided two top class strikes for the workman like Wanderers.

Man. United also has a tricky fixture against Portsmouth, but should handle Harry’s ex-Arsenal side since Lauren hasn’t made the transition as yet. Besides Pompey just lost to Charlton at home (1-0) and their confidence will be shattered against the league leaders.

West Ham vs. Watford (Premier league dwellers) and Birmingham vs. Reading round off a mass of weekend FA Cup fixtures.
