Arsenal comprehensively overcame Brendan Rodgers’ men in the reverse fixture at Anfield in early September as new signings Podolski and Cazorla both netted for the Gunners. No surprises then to see the home side installed to complete the double over the scousers.
Still licking their wounds after another disappointing performance that saw them bow out of the F.A Cup to League 1 relegation candidates Oldham Athletic at the weekend, Liverpool will be more than happy with the draw.
Arsenal hotshot Theo Walcott’s lucrative new contract was the best thing to happen to fellow striker Olivier Giroud, the slow starting Frenchman was still hunting for his first goal last time these sides met but he has been red hot of late. He’s hit 4 goals in the last week including a stunner against Brighton at the weekend.
Liverpool’s own one-man weaponry Luis Suarez was also on target at the weekend with a fine solo effort. He was unable to single handedly drag his sorry team-mates past League 1 Oldham though, despite his best efforts.
Personally I think the home win is a great price especially considering the way Arsenal tore Liverpool apart at Anfield in the last meeting, plus the fact that Rodgers’ men are never failing to surprise anyone with poor performance after poor performance.
The Gunners have netted 8 goals in the past 7 days and they’ll be confident of bagging a few more tomorrow night in front of a packed house in North London.
