Predictionees...
Arsenal near full squad bar Ljungberg & Baptista
Liverpool missing the influential Sissoko!
Probably a close game and we'll hope for another howler from Gerrard but I can see us walking away with the spoils... 2 - 1 the Arsenal

Probably agree arsenal will probably sneak it by a goal, our away form has been woeful in the league but never say never 
Plus you's haven't been quite as consistent as you'd like and momo missing for a game of this nature is not necessarily a complete game loser.

Only problem for Arsenal is that without Sissoko it looks like Gerrard will be back in the middle...which isnt good for them!
I really think this will be the turning point in our season, get a good away result and then go on a decent run upto Xmas and catch up a few points on Chelski and Man Utd.
If he selects the team I think he should....
Reina
Finnan, Carra, Hyypia/Agger, Riise
Pennant, Gerrard, Alonso, Gonzalez
Kuyt, Crouch
...then I think we can sneak this maybe 2-0 or 2-1 depending if Henry decides to play or not.

Cosmo, that's the team I was saying we should play to my mates, defo leave in agger and gonzalez and leave luis garcia out. Can always use try bellamy if needs be (although would be good to drop him for a few games imo), would be really good to see us strat with our best team.
Riise defo needs to start he adds so much to a big game imo, and I hope gerrard plays his socks off in the middle

Yeah, 100% no Garcia in this game...just gives the ball away to easy in bigger games. And Riise is the most confident at LB so could do with him there, plus adds more going forward than anyone else.
Bellamy is still getting his fitness back so would leave him to come on in last 20-25mins with his pace if needed. Plus is we are playing two out and out wingers in Gonzalez and Pennant, the Crouch is the perfect target man to knock the balls down to Kuyt.
Im not bothered by Agger or Hyypia. Both are solid for me, but think Hyypias pace will really be shown up in this game so Agger could be the man to go for.
But as mentioned, the whole game rests on Gerrard performing for me. If he plays well then we'll win, if not then I wouldnt be so certain.

I think Rafa might go with
Reina
Finnan Carrager Agger Riise
Gerrard Alonso Zendon Gonzalez
Crouch Kuyt
I think if he goes with this and as said before they can keep Henry and Rosicky out of the game then i can see 1-0 Liverpool
Lets hope anyway

I had thought he may go with Zenden, he had a great game yesterday. I think he would drop Gonzalez before Pennant though and play Gerrard on the left if he goes down that road. Would much prefer to see Gerrard in the middle though controlling things.

Good point actually, benitex don't wana be proven wrong about gerrard on the right, although this also leaves scope for pennant to come on late and gerrard to switch to middle.
Gotta be careful about the whole out and out winger situation too, been left wide open a couple of times and if we want gerrard to drive it through the middle maybe this would be a better platform for that (he can cut in to the centre from the right).
Not 100% sure just hope we grow some balls

I reckon Arse will sneak this, after their West Ham result they need it.

on a serious note, I'd be happy with a draw. We've never really fared well against Liverpool.
As for Henry, I'm guessing he'll go missing like he usually does. Adebayor to come on and sneak a winner

After the way we have been playing recently Tom I'm not holding out much hope either
We seem to go from playing the most unbelievable football to playing like tossers in the space of a week.

Arsenal will win by 2 or 3 imo, when you actually look at the squads on paper, the fact they're at home and the bad press this week i can see a backlash on the cards
