Sagna backing Arsenal replacement Eboue for big Barcelona performance

Bacary Sagna is backing Arsenal teammate Emmanuel Eboue for a big performance against Barcelona tonight.

Sagna is suspended for the first leg following his red card in the dying stages of the 3-1 win over Partizan Belgrade in December meaning Eboue will start at right back against the Catalan giants.

"I will support him 200 per cent!" the Frenchman told arsenal.com. "He is a fantastic guy and great player, so he deserves to play in this kind of game as well.

"We showed last year that we can play as well as they can. We drew the home game, and then scored first in the away leg.

"So we know we will have chances - we'll have to take them."
