Arsenal v Liverpool
Sunday 21st December
Kick off 4pm - Live on Sky Sports 1Think probably most of us have managed to get the Hull game out of our system by now - it's been a struggle for me, I must admit.
So it's time to move on and focus on this big game.
Personally I think this could prove more of a test than the away game to Chelsea. Like us, Arsenal have turned up for the big games so far this season. So I reckon it will either be like a game of chess or a game that will see you go through a plethora of emotions. I'm not sure which one I'd prefer...
I think we can beat them though. We are due a win and the way this season is going, what you expect and what you hope for seems to be vice versa.
We can not afford to be slack at the back though. We all know these lot pose a good threat on the attack in more than one way. And we can't afford to be shy in attack.
Use the best players for the job. Obviously I'm expecting it to be another 4-5-1 formation, but it will be interesting to see if Kuyt is up on his own again after the Hull game. Not sure about anyone else?
If Dangerous Dossena gets picked to play, he needs to stay back all game and let Reira/Babel look after the attack down the left. Gerrard can also help out there too. Personally, I'd rather see Insua ahead of DD though.
Whether it's Hyypia or Agger with Carra will also be interesting too.
The key area for me though is midfield (as always). We have to stop them playing and make sure we pose a real threat from more than just one player on his own. Alonso and Gerrard really have to boss this game. That is the key!
Let's prove we've at least improved on the other big three.....all we have to worry about is the draws then!
