Carling Cup: Arsenal vs Liverpool Match Thread

Arsenal team in full: Lukasz Fabianski, Kerrea Gilbert, Phillipe Senderos, Mikael Silvestre, Kieran Gibbs, Fran Merida, Craig Eastmond, Aaron Ramsey, Samir Nasri, Nicklas Bendtner, Eduardo

Subs: Wojciech Szczesny, Kyle Bartley, Francis Coquelin, Emmanuel Frimpong, Mark Randall, Gilles Sunu, Sanchez Watt

Not a bad 11 for Arsenal, will give our back 4 a test. Ramsey, Bendtner and Eduardo are strong, and Nasri coming off injury is a threat.

Good game for the lads

Going to be interesting this.

Both teams (probably) similar ability. Although looking at our lineup again, it does look promising.

Come on Liverpool!

Can't wait for this now!

Gow, you always make me laugh 

Does everyone remember the last time Kuyt was handed the captaincy?

A man on a mission.

More of that tonight please Dirk!

cant wait to see aquilani play a proper game and not just highlights he shud get a good half hour if he doesnt start....and i hope spearing has a goodin aswel.

Hoping Babel can get the better of this Gilbert fella.

Can't wait to see Aqua get a run out

Hoping Babel can get the better of this Gilbert fella.

He won't because he's sh*t.

I'm made up Ecclestone is on the bench. But Plessis? Does he really warrant a start?

True, but who else could we have played?

Anyone know whats wrong with Kelly? Thought he wlda been in line for this game.

He's still suffering from the ankle injury sustained against Lyon. Probably out for a couple of weeks yet.

Arsenal team looks stronger on paper but come on reds

True, but who else could we have played?

Lucas. Could do with him to tame the Arsenal midfield. I honestly thought we'd play a few more regulars.

Come on you Redmen!

Yes it looks a weak team hope not a repeat of the 6-3

COME ON LIVERPOOL!!!

What a weak team that is. Not really happy to be honest but I still feel if the lads give a 100% there's a chance of a victory.

I'm made up Ecclestone is on the bench. But Plessis? Does he really warrant a start?

May be it's something to do with his contract extension.

Spearing and Plessis in midfield. 
Don't quite fancy that. Guess we'll have a lot of tough time in midfield.

Yeah Pacheco is on international duty, still a good team there.
