Match of the Day: 28th January 2006: FA Cup Fourth Round: Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal
Overview
Arsenal travel to the Reebok Stadium for what is likely to be a hard-fought FA Cup fourth-round fixture. A single goal was enough to give the Gunners a win here in last season's sixth-round tie, but the current holders know they won't be in for an easy ride after losing 2-0 to the Trotters in the Premiership earlier this year.
