Arsenal (A) Build Up

[Marina]

Sooo nervous for this. Think we're often guilty of being too complacent, especially after a really complete performance like Saturday's. We shouldn't expect to go there and win.

Given Arsenal are top of the league, in the CL and a traditional top 4 club I don't think we'll be complacent. Maybe it's a good thing to play them after our win at the weekend. If it was a "lesser" team complacency might sneak in.

Just the right time for a Cup Final.

We are Liverpool and yes we do expect to go there and win.

[Bernardicus]

Usually when we go away to a team like Arsenal especially the form they're in now I'd be pessimistic and expect to lose, but with Suarez and Sturridge on fire I think we've every right to believe we can go there and win. Why not?

[Tee]

They must be worried about the prospect of facing us. We just have to press them and make sure we give the ball to Suarez as quick and as often as possible. Mertesacker must be ****ting his pants thinking about what Luis could do to him. And Ozil will get wasted by Lucas and Stevie , let alone Sakho.

[RichC]

Yup, whilst we realise Arsenal are a good side and playing well I'm pretty sure they'll not be too keen on playing us at the moment either.

[Gazzla]

If Coutinho is fit I'd start him, he is for us what Ozil brings to Arsenal that creative link that can open up a defence. If Coutinho is fit does Rodgers sacrifice Henderson or the 3 at the back?

Early days but not convinced on the little I've seen of Cissokho and I'd start Enrique for this one, Enrique will put his body on the line and go in full bloodied, I'm not convinced Cissokho is that sort of player

Lucas on Ozil
Henderson on Ramsey

We have plenty of creativity on the pitch to be honest and we need Henderson to maintain a high pressing line. Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard are plenty creative!

[Liverpel]

Arsenal's next two games after Saturday are away to Dortmund followed by a trip to Old Trafford.

Hopefully Wenger will rest a few players this weekend.

[ChesterDave]

Chelsea this midweek too. I imagine he will have to rotate most of the squad for that though

I think it will be a measure of our improvement if they put out a full strength team against us and rest players against Manure!

I think we should have won at the Emirates last time, it was only a couple of lapses that let them back in for the draw. I'd love to see us play to our potential and send out a message that we are going to be serious contenders this year. It's always a game that seems to be defined by the physically superior players, so it would probably be a bad move if Hendo is dropped for this one. I just hope we don't negate his qualities by sticking him out wide. It's good the team has a few options now and doesn't automatically pick itself, makes Wengers job just a little more awkward and its the little things that can make all the difference.
