PL: Arsenal v Liverpool, 04/4/15. 12:45

-----------Ospina
Bellerin--Mert---Kos--Monreal
---------Le Coq---Ramsey
----Walcott---Özil---Sanchez
----------Giroud

It's not going to be easy, but Liverpool are definitely beatable. Especially at home!

We need to keep our pace with City and Chelsea and keep the distance with the teams below!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I think we'll see Chambers at RB, I don't think Wenger trusts Bellerin at RB when Mertesacker is at CB because of how much Bellerin attacks and how slow Mertesacker is. Either that or Gabriel plays CB.

Le Coq will obviously start, I suspect we'll see Ramsey and Cazorla both play. Özil and Alexis will flank Giroud imo.

SUBS- this will be more interesting, because players are coming back to fitness. I'd say Szczesny, Bellerin, Gabriel, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Wilshere (maybe). Debuchy does seem very close to full fitness though, Flamini too might be on the bench.

I'm guessing neither Ox or Welbeck are fit for this, which is a huge shame because both can play in a number of positions.

I'll go for a 2-0. Any win will do though.

I read on twitter that Debuchy, Arteta, Wilshere and Diaby recently played an Arsenal friendly of sorts so they shouldn't be to far off!

This is really huge game if we win here we will all but finish Liverpool hopes for top 4 finish. i hope our players be up for it and win the game

Wenger will go with this:

Ospina
Bellerin Kosh Gabriel Monreal
Coqulien Ramsey
Welbeck Özil/Cazorla Alexis
Giroud

 

[Hunta]

Ospina
Bellerin Gabriel Koscielny Monreal
Ramsey Coquelin Cazorla
Özil Alexis
Giroud

 

[Drebin]

I thought Ramsey is out with an apparent groin injury? Or was it nothing serious after all?

 

[tap-in]

Ospina
Bellerin Gabriel Koscielny Monreal
Ramsey Coquelin Cazorla
Özil Alexis
Giroud

Good selection, I agree with that. If Welbeck is out then some think Walcott will play but I dont think he will, hence the team above. Good defensive set up but plenty in attack.

2-0

 

[BobP]

Beat them, show Sterling what he could be joining.

 

[Danskin]

What Thunter said. That's the best line-up available atm.

 

[Rex Stone]

The stars have aligned everyone. Diaby has returned for his annual domination of Pool. Fully expect his knee to literally explode the next game though.

Wilshere and Diaby starting, midfield of glass. You know it makes sense.

 

[1983Gunner]

With the pace of Sterling who will probably play up front, then Wenger should play Gabriel. I expect Cazorla and Özil to start and dominate possession in the middle. Have to watch out for the long range specialist that is Coutinho.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Apparantly Sturridge could be back in time, though some Pool fans on RAWK would like to see Balotelli because 'he was one of the best players during the charity match last Sunday.'

Anyway, Diaby scoring the winner: 1-0 to the Arsenal.

 

[Artisan]

It's a must win so feeling pretty pessimistic about getting results right now. Though their performances have been pretty poor lately, I don't feel confident about our defence coping well with their speed.

On the plus side they seem to be pretty weak at defending set pieces so lets hope Giroud is up for exploiting that.

 

[North5]

If Sturridge faces us then it was an utter bullshit "injury".

 

[fabo]

Fancy us here, narrowly. Will be fairly close.

2-1 win.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Wow, this new format is unreal, finally AM gets with the times .

We'll beat Liverpool at home, like we always do. If they come at us with 3 at the back we'll exploit them like we did last season, I've heard rumours Debuchy may come straight into the team?

 

[Swallow]

This is really huge game if we win here we will all but finish Liverpool hopes for top 4 finish. i hope our players be up for it and win the game

Giroud

Yusif, isn't Welbeck injured and out of this one?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Their, isn't Welbeck injured and out of this one?

i read today that he should be fit to start this game.

 

[Swallow]

Okay. Anyway it's a game against a big team so I expect AW to try to balance the team with a playmaker on one flank.
So I can Özil on the left, Sanchez on the right and Santiago behind Giroud with Ramsey and Coquelin at the base of the midfield.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Aw it looks so pretty on here!
Really hate 12.45 kick offs, even though we're at home we just aren't very good in them. Think we'll win though, with Alexis finally returning to the score sheet
Thank God skrtels out btw, loves a goal against us nowadays
