Finally the Internationals are over for a few months and we are back to business in the Premiership. A huge match for The Gunners waits at lunchtime on Saturday, as Arsene Wenger's young guns travel to Anfield to face Liverpool. This is a big game in the race for 3rd spot with Arsenal having the upper hand going into the game.
The Gunners lie in 3rd, one point clear of Liverpool with a game in hand. So should we win, it would all but secure are spot. Anfield has been Arsenal's second home this season, as they cruised to two victories in Cup competitions. A 3-1 win in the FA Cup and an extraordinary 6-3 win in the Carling Cup. This is on top of the reverse Premiership game this season, where the mighty reds hammered Liverpool 3-0 at The Emirates. This is the Merseyside giants' first game under new owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks. And the return of Peter Crouch will give The Reds even more to shout about.
Arsenal have mixed injury news. Henry, Van Persie and Walcott are all likely to miss the rest of the season but Arsene Wenger welcomes back Manu Eboue and and Gael Clichy from injury and Manu Adebayor from suspension. But Eboue is unlikely to be risked, with Justin Hoyte slotting into the right back spot. Also, Gilberto has a late fitness test after suffering a hip injury while playing for Brazil.
Team Prediction:
-----------------------------Lehmann------------------------------
Hoyte----------------Toure-----------Gallas-----------------Clichy
Hleb-----------Fabregas------Diaby--------Denilson-------Rosicky
-----------------------------Adebayor------------------------------
Score Prediction:
Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal
Scorers: Mascherano and Hleb
