Arsenal match thread

[Shaggy]

French youngster Damien Plessis is in the starting line-up to face Arsenal at the Emirates.

The defensive midfielder is one of eight changes made by Rafa Benitez from Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg.

The Reds line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation for the 12.45pm kick off.

Here's the XI in full: Reina, Arbeloa, Finnan, Skrtel, Carragher, Riise, Pennant, Benayoun, Lucas, Plessis, Crouch. Subs: Itandje, Hyypia, Gerrard, Torres, Voronin.

Arbeloa left back, Riise left mid, Pennant right, Yossi off Crouch?

If we don't finish 4th, Rafa will never live this one down, assuming we don't win the CL.

So Will was right then.

Teams on their way out, well they will be when Arsenal turn up.

This is going to be very interesting. A lot on Lucas' shoulders in that midfield.
