Live Premiership Soccer – Liverpool v Arsenal

November 25, 2004 Liverpool and Arsenal have had their problems recently and both sides could do with a morale boosting victory. Liverpool haven't really improved since the Houllier days, though new gaffer Benitez has been a little unlucky with injuries. Cisse and Baros are out and the likes of Mellor and Pongolle are just not good enough. Harry Kewell just doesn't look interested, though the gaffer will be buoyed that Stevie Gerrard now has a couple of games under his belt and he's returning to full match fitness. Arsenal, by their very high standards, are also in a mini crisis and the return of Sol Campbell can't come quick enough. Cygan and Toure both need an imposing figure at the back to guide them and they are lacking in confidence. Thierry Henry's goals have dried up a little, but it would be folly to write off the Frenchman, so expect Henry to open the scoring at 9/2. Arsenal have held the upper hand over recent years and they should oblige at around the 5/4 mark.
