GUNNERS UP NORTH FOR THE LONG HAUL

Dawson big shout at 14/1

IT’S wrong to dismiss Arsenal as a pack of petulant prancers who don’t like it up ‘em. Or anywhere near ‘em if it’s got mud on it. But you still wouldn’t want them in your foxhole.

Mikel Arteta (below) and pals have an FA Cup quarter-final date at Sheffield United (1pm), who have conceded fewer Prem goals than Manchester City. The scales tip towards extra-time and pens. Bet a DRAW (90min) at 23/10 (Hills).

Chelsea at Leicester (4pm) is murky in terms of ambitions and line-ups. Another DRAW at 12/5.

WATFORD could crush Southampton (4.30pm) on adrenalin alone.

The Hornets are in a high-summer do-or-die fight to escape the deadly jam-jar trap at the foot of the Prem.

Saints are in a deck chair with a Nobbly Bobbly and a wordsearch.

They also have a puzzling habit of getting a bit jumbled up in defence.

Watford can take advantage – I’ll nibble big Craig Dawson (left) ‘anytime scorer’ at 14/1 (Hills).
