Hopefully keeps him out of the league meeting, too.

Being reported as likely to be out for 8 weeks, so should miss the league game at the end of January.

Bowen is out with a fractured foot.

We can trump that with both Duran and Rogers missing.

[OCD]

Rogers misses the Leicester game, not sure why he would miss the West Ham game.

Ticket sales look pretty healthy for this. Surprised!

How do you know? I go into the site, and the bit that used to tell you how many tickets left per block seems to have gone.

They got rid of that and you now have to count them block by block. Helps while away a dismal winters afternoon. He’s right though West Ham selling quite well apart from the usual GA+ hellscape.

Thanks.

Anyone received their tickets yet for the Cup game? Not had mine and I bought one for a mate. Leaving it a bit close. Both show as being purchased in my history but no ticket to download yet.

[Brend'Watkins]

Same here. Why they can't send them immediately is odd.

I think they don't want to cause confusion/additional queues by giving them out when we still have a league home game to play first, which is fair enough. Leaving it so you only have potentially one working day to contact them if you have to travel seems a bit late, though.

The draw for the Emirates FA Cup fourth round proper will be made on Sunday 12 January 2025, following the conclusion of the tie between Arsenal and Manchester United.

With the game at the Emirates Stadium kicking-off at 3pm GMT, we anticipate the draw to take place around 5pm GMT provided the tie doesn't go to extra time in which case it will still happen following the conclusion of the game.

The draw will be presented by Kelly Somers, made by Martin Keown and Mark Schwarzer and shown live in the UK as part of BBC One's coverage.

Ties to be played on or around Saturday 8th February.
