In brief: we have a problem in central defence as Adams hurt his back in Nantes and could be joining Keown and Upson on the injury list. A likely short-term solution is playing 2 right-backs at centre-back! and long-term we could be going into the transfer market (go on Arsène, give Rhys Weston a go first!)
Mind you, according to Seasiders fans they have the worst Blackpool side in living memory. So hopefully we won't need much at the back.

It'll be interesting to see what colours we play in. Arsenal once wore Black and White stripes against 'Pool because of a colour clash! See Arsenal vs Blackpool page for details.

There's also news of a 56-year grudge: Blackpool fans claim Arsenal have a wartime trophy of theirs, Arsenal say the trophy never existed.

The winners of this game will be at home either Leicester City ot Hereford Utd in the 4th round (that tie has gone to replay at Filbert St).
