Pre-Match: Liverpool V Arsenal 12;45 Sat 8 Feb 2014

Going to miss this one as I'm working! Come on you reds!

We say it every game, but this is a massive game, biggest of the season so far.

Win, and we're 5pts off the top, 6pts if City and Chelsea win their games.

Lose, and Everton win, we go 5th.

Massive game, absolutely huge!

Its going to be like from now on. Every game is important and 3 points will be most welcome.

Come on Reds, its time to rise up like the LiverBird and soar with pride.  YNWA.

Really hope the fans get behind the team today instead of sitting on their hands, a really big performance is needed all around, being the eternal pesimist I can't see us getti8ng much but i truly hope I/m wrong

very anxious about this, but optimistic at the same time
Its time for  the derby display againt reds
  a win today will move us closer , and a boost to the chavs/city home games

Why is every game seem like it's the most important one of the season?

 

Because if the players treated every game like it was the most important game , you would be very close or probably win the league it is really that simple, the next game should always be the most important because its your next three points to gain.

Woke up this morning feeling fine
theres something special on my mind
three points against the gunners whoa yeah
something tells me were gonna win 3-1
something tells me were gonna win

To the tune of hermans hermuts "Im into something good"

Get in there faces from the off put them on the backfoot. No time on the ball for them especially in the midfield

Fancy us here big time

So F***ing nervous!

MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head

•Liverpool have won just one of the last 13 league meetings between the two sides, although seven of those ended in draws (W1, D7, L5).
•Arsenal are chasing a third successive league win at Anfield. The last time they managed that feat was between 10 February 1973 and 9 November 1974.
•Meetings between these sides have produced more hat-tricks (five) than any other Premier League fixture.
Liverpool

•The Reds are unbeaten in their last 10 league and cup games at Anfield (W9, D1), scoring 33 goals and conceding seven in that run.
•Daniel Sturridge's goal against West Brom was his 50th in the Premier League. He is the 10th English player to reach that landmark before turning 25.
•Sturridge has scored in 13 of his 16 league appearances this season, scoring 14 in total.
•According to Opta statistics, Liverpool have made 29 errors leading to a goal or attempt at goal this season - the most in the top flight.

•Against Crystal Palace, 10 Arsenal players ended with pass completion rates of over 90%.
•Arsenal's tally of 26 points won away from home is the joint best in the top flight, along with Tottenham.
•Arsenal's Wojciech Szczesny has kept 11 Premier League clean sheets - more than any other top-flight goalkeeper

Come on you reds!

Win today and we go 5 points clear of 5th. I'd like to see Allen start today over Gerrard. I know it won't happen but as long as we can stop them dominating the midfield, then SAS should have enough to make the difference.

Treat them with no respect. Need SG biting into the tackles like against Everton. Keep the tempo high, attack them, get the crowd up for it and no reason why we can't take em.

F**k 'em. Be tough, strong and we win.

Their defence is pants but its their midfield pressure that protects that. Win midfield, get the ball forward and ship the 3 points.

3-1 to our lads!
