Liverpool FC travel to Emirates for a
Carling Cup clash that will surely be memorable.
Liverpool are just off of a stunning home win against rivals
Manchester United and will surely carry that confidence into this match. It is unclear whether or not captain
Steven Gerrard will be fit for this match, but they were able to beat the reigning champs without him on Sunday.
Rafael Benitez will field a strong side with an easier match against
Fulham FC coming up on Saturday. The Spanish Manager knows that he must get some kind of silverware this season, and with UEFA Champions League hopes looking dim, he will want to try the best he can in London.
Arsenal's last match was a 2-2 draw with local rivals
West Ham United. It was a well fought match for number 3
Arsenal who still have a game in hand which could produce a jump to 2nd place. Their most outstanding players have been midfielder
Cesc Fabregas, who has 4 goals in 8 appearances, and Dutch striker
Robin Van Persie with 5 goals in just 9 appearances.
Arsene Wenger will probably rotate his squad here because of the derby with
Tottenham on Saturday, but
Arsenal have the quality to score goals no matter who they put on the field.
Despite
Liverpool's recent success against titans
Manchester United, they are simply not as good while playing away and
Arsenal's attacking quality should overcome the Merseyside club.
