Villa winger wary of Henry threat at Emirates Stadium

Gabriel Agbonlahor is confident Aston Villa can make it through to the fifth round of the FA Cup at Arsenal's expense, although he is wary of the threat Thierry Henry will present at Emirates Stadium. The French striker re-signed for Arsenal earlier this month to the delight of the Gunners faithful, and made a dream comeback by scoring the winner in the previous round against Leeds. Agbonlahor is looking forward to lining up against Henry but feels Villa can come out on top in Sunday's game to keep their FA Cup dream alive. While Villa are going through a period of transition, Agbonlahor would love to give the fans something to enjoy with a long run in the competition.

Hopeful

"It's going to be tough, especially with the big impact Thierry Henry has had there," said the Engalnd international in the Daily Mirror. "But I think we're going to go there very hopeful of going through. "A decent run in the cup will give our fans something to be excited about. "They know it's a season of change so this would give them something to shout about."
