ARSENAL vs LIVERPOOL

ARSENAL V LIVERPOOL
Wednesday 2 April 2008 19:45
Liverpool travel to the Emirates hoping to draw first blood ahead of what is a mammoth three match showdown in just six days against the Gunners.

It won't be the first time Rafael Benitez's men have faced Arsenal in back-to back matches, having suffered both FA Cup and Carling Cup defeats within days of each other last season, and he will be hoping it is Liverpool's turn to take the spoils when they go head-to-head in the Champions League Quarter-finals and the Premier League.

It is only Liverpool's second visit to the Emirates following the 3-0 league defeat their in the last campaign and the Reds will need to avoid a simliar experience this time out if we are to maintain our hopes of a sixth European crown.

Apparently the formation will look like this:

--------------------Reina-------------------

Finnan----Carragher---Skrtel-----Aurelio

------------Alonso-----------Masc----------

Kuyt-----------------------------------Babel

--------------------Gerrard------------------

---------------------Torres-------------------

I think it will be a draw to be totally honest. Rafa benitez is a tactitian and will no doubt want a decent result for a return tie on Anfield, and won't go all in to win, as he would in a league match (you only have that one chance for the three points).
Torres might sneak one past Arsenal, but I wouldn't bet my money on it.

Judging from recent performances I think Arsenal will have trouble containing Liverpool, but they are a quality side an I don't see why they wouldn't be able to hold out for a draw at Emirates. I do believe Arsenal can cause a bit of trouble, but Liverpool are far better than what Milan showed in the last round, so it's going to be very though on Arsenal.

Ps. I'm not a Liverpool supporter, I'm just a realist :P

Liverpool will go to the emirates trying not to lose. therefore i think it will be 0-0.

Scouser_Dave · 31-03-2008, 03:54 PM

I think that there is a stat i read some where

that we have never failed to score on arsenals ground

den525player · 31-03-2008, 03:59 PM

not exactly a premier league game though. champions league is the last bit of silverware liverpool can win so they should be cautious... i said that about the inter liverpool match as well lol they went on to score a few goals...

fitz15 · 31-03-2008, 04:05 PM

hopefully liverpool will win but sadly it will probably be arsenal. i no they only had bolton at the weekend but when adebayor and walcott came on they looked incredible, even with only 10 men

MaschPotato · 31-03-2008, 04:21 PM

Could be a 1-1 draw although i would like it to be 2-1 to us or preferably 5-0

hopefully, it is just a hard game to call at the moment, both teams playing pretty inconsistant, class one minute, pretty bad the next, will be 3 good games tho.

The reds will lose this leg. Arsenal will give it to them

Yer for your sake you hope that you don`t get us in the champions league, because we would hammer your lot

As long as there is`nt a bent ref on your side again

fitz15 · 31-03-2008, 04:32 PM

funny how quickly all the liverpool fans have forgotten about the materazzi sending off ever since mascherano's red

benqbiggis · 31-03-2008, 04:33 PM

liverpool wins or a drawn

MaschPotato · 31-03-2008, 04:34 PM

Personally i really believe it could be Liverpool vs Man Utd in the final although IMO i think the Arsenal match will be tougher than the Chelsea one if we get through so we really need something from the first leg

We got a draw out of arsenal this season when torres and alonso were`nt 100% so i am confident we can get something out of this game

I really hope that Liverpool will win! But I think it will be 0-0 in the first leg.
