Champions League
2009-09-16 - Standard Liege vs Arsenal
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:After suffereing their second defeat when they were beaten by Manchester City last weekend, just after Manchester United beat them, the Gunners will be aiming to bounce back when they travel to face Belgan Champions Standard Liege in this Champions League match.
Before the defeat to the two Manchester sides, Arsenal have scored 13 goals in the league and plus the five they scored against Celtic in the Champions League play-off round so scoring goals is not a proble for them.
Eduardo will be available to start this match after UEFA overturned his ban. This comes as a huge relieve to Arsee Wenger after he will lose Robin van Persie to a knee injury, while Andrey Arshavin is still out with a groin problem.
Denilson, Theo Walcott, Johan Djourou and Samir Nasri are also out injured, but Wenger's biggest headache comes in goal where Manuel Almunia has a chest infection and Lukasz Fabianski is still recovering from knee surgery. That means that Vito Mannonewho has just played one senior appearance for the club is destined to start this match ahead of fellow youngster Wojciech Szczesny.
Standard Liege comes into this match hoping to disprove their critics in a group where Olympiakos and AZ Alkmaar are also in. Laszlo Boloni's young side are currently unbeaten in six domestiv games, and will hope they can unsettle the Gunners who have lost their last two Premiership games now.
Liege will be without Steven Defour, who could be missing for three months after undergoing surgery on a broken foot last weekend. Wilfried Dalmat (ankle) is also out, while Igor De Camargo is doubtful after a knock to hi leg in the 3-0 win over Mechelen last Saturday.
Take Arsenal to win this match and give the 3/4 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
