i will wan to see Rafa reaction than Wenger
Well suspecting an 1-1 draw
Liverpool 0 - Arsenal 3
after looking at today's matches, i can only say, definite match fixing.
liverpool will definitely win tomorrow against all odds to go back for their top 4 spot.
i hope i am wrong...
there is a good chance liverpool to beat arsenal imo... just an instinct..
I think Pool will win this match... Why? cos Pool have a strange form like when they play against the big sides, they can up their game and play like champions... Its the lesser teams that somehow they don't seem to be able to motivate themselves enough. Moreover, this match is played at Anfield... And without Van Persie, I find its very hard for them to score many... and Arshavin will be mark like hell tonight after he scored 4 goals last season...
and if we do win this game, IF, then we will just be 5 points behind Man U and 8 points behind Chelsea. No disrespect to Chelsea but I still feel that the benchmark for this season is still Man U. Whoever finishes above Man U will be champions this year and thus Liverpool must WIN tonight and if they do...who knows, we can be quietly confident about a slim title tilt...its only just halfway through the season anyway
WARNING ... Javier Mascherano
Arsenal's Russian agent rocked Liverpool in a pulsating 4-4 draw at Anfield in April. But influential midfielder Mascherano reckons the Reds now know too much for Arshavin.
He said: "Arshavin was enormous against us last season but there will not be a repeat. "The madness of last season is not possible again. We have learned how to stop him and I am convinced he will not create problems for us this time.
"Cesc Fabregas is the key for the Gunners. Arshavin is dangerous but without Fabregas' work, things can change. "He is decisive and it's our mission to make sure he doesn't feel comfortable."
Liverpool have had a nightmare start to the season, slipping 12 points off the pace and crashing out of the Champions League at the group stages. Tomorrow they face third-placed Arsenal, knowing defeat would leave them seven points adrift of the Gunners.
With Manchester City, Spurs and Aston Villa flying, there are even question marks over whether the stumbling Kop giants will be in Europe at all next time around - never mind the Champions League.
But Mascherano said: "We had Fernando Torres back against Fiorentina in midweek, Stevie Gerrard is getting fitter with every game and Alberto Aquilani started as well. "All those things can only be good for us. We know we're a better team than we have shown."

Chelsea are currently on 37, Man United 34. Pool, 24...
A Pool win would see them close the gap on Chelsea to 10 I believed and not 8... Perhaps you saw the wrong points on the standings? City are the ones on 26...

hurhurhur yeah i saw wrongly. But even so, I would still feel at the this stage of the league, anyone within 10 points of the leader would have a slim challenge especially when the teams within those range are teams like Man City, Aston Villa and Liverpool. I do think these teams can put up a good challenge as long they keep up consistent performances from now on. Furthermore as I stated, I am not even considering Chelsea as a benchmark. Man U is the benchmark. And if Liverpool wins tonight, we will be 7 points behind Man U and that to me is not too huge a gap to catch up with more than half a season to go.
As for Chelsea, if Ancelotti can get them through the African Nations without Drogba, then they stand a good chance. As of now, what I think of Ancelotti is that he is in the exact same position as Scolari, coming in to do a great initial job but might just fall away later. Chelsea is doing so well, I feel not because of Ancelotti, but simply because he inherited a GREAT team! How bad can Chelsea be? They are a great team with great players. HOWEVER, when the African Nations come and when they go through Slumps like a mini one they are going thru, lets see how Ancelotti can bring them through and that will be a mark of a great manager. But for now, the one who has done it all is FERGUSON and for now, he and his team will be the benchmark. Anyone who finishes above Man U will be champions.
Liverpool going win Arsenal 2-1. If Steven.G , Torres and Aquilani..
Arsenal without Van Persie is like Liverpool without Torres.
Arsenal might have 99% control of game without a single goal and nobody to finish off.
I believe Liverpool will take down Arsenal. Arshavin performance is quite bad recently.
I have a feeling arsenal might nick this one.
i've a strong feeling liverpool will lose this one
I gotta feeling... that it would be Liverpool's Day!
previously... i feel that arsenal is going to lose this because of gunner's cork up habits...
on positive note.. i say fabregas, arashavin and gallas is going to be on the scoresheet today.... yeah...
arsenal 3 liverpool 1
its true.. arsenal sometimes finishing are lousy... but this season... they sometimes can score... so arsenal to win very likely... even at anfield... its not going to affect them...
wonder where can i watch the match tonight?? no sports channel at home? living in sengkang... any suggestions..
lol ..tat gif looks like mr bean.
hopefully a exciting match to watch
