Arsenal's inability to see off Championship opposition Cardiff City in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Ninian Park ensured a replay date at their Emirates home on February 16.
One player who will not be able to feature for the Gunners though is club record signing Andrey Arshavin who, because he was registered after the first meeting between Arsenal and Cardiff, will not be allowed to participate in the replay.
However, should the Red and White army continue Arsene Wenger's fine tradition of never losing to clubs from the lower leagues in the FA Cup and progress, then Arshavin will be available for selection for the fifth round against Burnley.
Arshavin is yet to feature for Arsenal after being left on the bench for 90 minutes at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Arsenal struggled to test Tottenham Hotspur's goal, as Spurs dominated the chances.
The decision to rest Arshavin though may have been partly down to Emmanuel Eboue's earlier sending off for petulance, and also due to his body still being in pre-season mode.
Arshavin joined the Ashburton Grove outfit from Russian club Zenit St Petersburg in a £16.5 million deal last week.
But for real, i dont think Arshavin will help team to get back to there winning ways.
