FT Liverpool 1 Arsenal 2
-
This Sunday ...
11.55pm late match
Live on Ch-27 Football CH
Venue @ Anfield
Good luck .
-
2 off form teams against each other this Sunday .
On style of play , Liverpool this season , i can say no match to Arsenal .
Playing at home for Liverpool , 12 men vs 11 men ....
Most likely a draw .
I dun see how Liverpool can beat Gunners .
-
Fabregas will make a fool out of Lucas for this match .
Let's hope Fabregas teaches Luca how a midfielder should play !
-
I think that Fernando Torres will return for Liverpool, but I am not sure Alberto Aquilani will feature.
He played 76 minutes against Fiorentina on Wednesday and Rafael Benitez will probably decide the Italian needs 23 weeks to recover!
Benitez will probably change his team completely and play two holding midfielders against an Arsenal team that will possibly be without a recognised front man.
We have got to the point now with Benitez where nobody knows what team he is going to field for any given match or what his plan is for the rest of the season.
By and large he is a popular figure and generally the Anfield crowd have been patient with him.
But I just wonder whether Liverpool are now actually further away from the Holy Grail of the Premier League title than when he arrived in June 2004. And that is a big worry.
Arsenal will not struggle to stay in the top four by virtue of the fact that they have lots of really good players.
Liverpool are the vulnerable top-four side but I still think they will finish in one of those places.
Their record over the last few months in the Premier League is poor but they are still very much in touch with the top form.
With Torres back and Steven Gerrard getting back to his world-class form, Liverpool will beat a lot of teams.
But that does not mask the fact that there is no Plan B at the club.
Have a look at the back of a programme at Anfield and you will see an unbelievably long list of professionals - but how many of them are top quality? Not many.
There is an awful lot of mediocrity in that squad.
It will be an entertaining game - it always is when Arsenal are involved. I think they are great on the eye, the best team for a neutral to watch.
Verdict: 1-1
Mark Lawrenson was talking to BBC Sport's Paul Fletcher
-
Yeah i agree with Mark Lawrenson this match will be interesting to watch ....
Arshavin will be the man we need to watch .
-
My ideal team to face Arsenal
.....................Reina....................
Aurelio Carragher Agger Johnson
Babel Yossi Mascherano Aquilani
.................Gerrard ....................
................Torres .......................
-
we better be watching more than 1 man....all 11 to be exact!
the whole gunners' team is a joy to watch, except when they are playing agst us!
-
I think the concern would whether the back four are able to hold off arshavin, good thing arsenal lost rvp to injury, we have 1 less threat to deal with. Nevertheless, I have a bad feeling Gallas is going to score a sucker punch goal. Would love to see Aquilani start though and see what he can do.

Our team actually is more off-form than Arsenal.Frankly speaking, if we can at least manage a draw, we can consider it as a fair result.

-
妈的�鸡排 ， Lucas still chosen ahead of Aquilani .
-
Finally Insua dropped for Aurelio .
At least Aurelio can kick free kick .
-
Liverpool is at full strength!
Arsenal has no full-on striker...
they're coming out now..
-
Gunners playing with fire ...
2 occasion , 1 almost a penalty .
I'll be surprised if Gunner not 0-1 down by 1st half .

Pool must win this inorder to get close to Arsenal in term of points..
and then slowly, build up from there.. a top 4 finish..
else the entire current campaign is a failure..

Own goal by Johnson .

They up their gear a bit .
