English Premier

2009-04-21 - Liverpool F.C vs Arsenal F.C

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Liverpool goes into this match seeking to go ahead of Manchester United in the standings if they can overcome Arsenal. As it stands now, Rafa Benitez side are just a point behind Manchester United, and can go top for 24 hours before the Champions play against Portsmouth tomorrow.

Liverpool knows that even a draw would be good enough to go top on goal difference, but they would want to get the win here. A win here also would answer their critics after losing to Chelsea in the semi-finals over two legged of the Champions League.

Meanwhile Arsenal also have their own agenda as they seek to secure their fourth placing which guarantees Champions League football next season.

Liverpool will greatly miss the contribution of Captain Steven Gerrard as he is out with a groin injury. He was out of the 4-4 draw with Chelsea and was an unused substitute for the previous domestic victory over Blackburn and is expected not to be rushed back.

So we can see the likes of Yossi Benayoun supporting Fernando Torres upront with Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano manning the midfield. Daniel Agger is likely to come back to replace the out of sorts centre back Martin Skrtel.Agger is expected to partner Jamie Carragher.

Arsenal have been hit by the news that attacking duo of Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie will misss the trip to Anfield. Adebayor is carrying a hamstring while Persie is out with a groin injury. First-choice goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is also unavailable, which means Lukas Fabianski will start in goal.

Full-back Bacary Sagna is available again after a virus along with fit-again Croatia forward Eduardo, but defenders Gael Clichy (back), William Gallas (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee) are all out on long term.

Take Liverpool to win and give the 3/4 ball here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
