Gunners hoping to rebound from upset

FA Cup replay becomes all the more important to Wenger's side now

LONDON - A routine FA Cup fifth-round replay against League One side Orient on Wednesday has been transformed into a challenging test of Arsenal's character and nerve following its League Cup final defeat at the hands of Birmingham City.

Arsene Wenger's side had been widely tipped to collect its first trophy since 2005 against its Premier League rival but stumbled in agonizing fashion, losing out to a late goal following a horrible defensive slip.
