Depend on the teams, liverpool can afford to play a strong team as they dont have CL to contend with. No doubt we will see 4 or 5 squad players get a game. Jenkenson, Monreal, Gnarby, Podolski and Bentdner will all probably start.
If Liverpool play their strongest 11 they will win comfortably...
3-0
Ozil hattrick
Terrible news, Howard Webb has been assigned this match. I remember him sending off Adebayor for literally nothing a few years go in the same fixture.
It'll mean the likes of Lucas will be able to commit 10,000 niggly fouls before he's finally shown a yellow card so that the "flow" of the game can be protected.
I don't think it matters who is assigned to this match
And Lucas is dead.
Plus, we'll have Flamini playing so we'll need somebody who lets players commit 10,000 fouls with impunity.
We have Skrtel, Gerrard, Henderson and Suarez who can foul there.
Who knows what will happen here? Thought we'd go out and be positive against Utd. Now I suppose the chances are we'll try to get away with another negative approach. If we do that then we're out, no doubt about it. If we play with a bit of ambition then maybe. Trouble is the desperately negative approach to the last two games has rapidly converted us from favourites to simply ensuring we don't get a pasting. This has been a bad, bad week for the manager. He's handled just about everything 100% wrong.
It shows how people 's memory is very short . Just because of the 5-1 scoreline suddenly Liverpool becomes a nightmare for Arsenal fans . Normally Liverpool do not give us a hard time and I would take that thrashing as a on-off Just as the scums thrashed us 5-1 in Carling cup few years back .
This is a game that Arsenal will win and win well .
3-1
i expect us to rest a few players, although not sure why as surely we are more likely to beat Liverpool at home than bayern over two legs. And if we do rest players and Liverpool play full strength side, cant see how losing another game is really going to help confidence. i would like to see gnabry play and the ox... just had a bit of pace into the side. give wilshere a rest along with giroud.
we are going to have to defend better than last time, perhaps give Sagna a rest but Gibbs needs another game and we dont have a choice with the Mert/Kos partnership.
think we will draw 1-1 just to make things worse.
Do we play a replay if its a draw after the 90? dont fancy going to Anfield again this season.
Liverpool will play their first 11 because they have no midweek games, they dont have to worry abut fitness or fatigue.
Its funny because prior to last saturday, id have said this was a routine 2-0 win against them but after their last 2 big wins, they'll be confident of winning.
The only thing i do think will go for us is that Rodgers wont stifle us like Man ure or Chelsea and his side will be open and attacking so i guess it leaves some room for us to attack.
1-0.
