Liverpool v Arsenal CL (2nd Leg) Match Thread & Team News

Peter Crouch will partner Fernando Torres in attack as Liverpool look to book their place in the last four of the Champions League at the expense of Arsenal tonight.
The Reds striker, who scored against the Gunners in Saturday's 1-1 league draw at the Emirates, comes in for Dutch winger Ryan Babel, with Steven Gerrard moving to the flank.
 
Sami Hyypia returns to partner Martin Skrtel in defence with Jamie Carragher and Fabio Aurelio in the full-back positions.
 
Liverpool team in full: Reina, Carragher, Aurelio, Skrtel, Hyypia, Mascherano, Alonso, Kuyt, Gerrard, Torres, Crouch. Subs: Itandje, Voronin, Lucas, Benayoun, Babel, Riise, Arbeloa.
   

Made up with that team selection !!    COME ON YOU REDMEN !!!!!

Im guessing Kuyt will be LM hopefully.

Looks a good strong line up, glad to see Crouch starting alongside Torres.

This is what I most want to see tonight 

Hehe i think we all want to see fernando celebrating scoring tonight.

This is what I most want to see tonight 

Then...

CROUCH CROUCH CROUCH CROUCH love the guy.

C'mon Liverpooooooooooooll.... ................

I know it's unusual to hear a United fan saying that but I'm definitely behind Liverpool for this game, and the semis as well but not for the final if we're there............

The wheels have really come off for Arsenal right now and I hope it continues, demoralise 'em for Sunday....

Very very positive line-up.  Seems Benitez feels confident for this one, as long as we don't concede more than a goal in the first half this is a in your face line up.  I just hope our strikers have their scoring boots on, because I feel there will be goals in this one.  Especially when Babbel comes off the bench.

Got the beer ready and I'll be watching it on ESPN2......

whats carra doin on the right?

Stevie G on the left is the only downside for me am afraid, this will be an interesting night

FCK me even Steve ryder is in on the act opening line liverpool rode their luck last week what a w**ker

Very positive line up for tonight. Feel confident but nervey. Couldn't even talk about it today. Had to get my mind elsewhere if thats possible. All ready to go now, only on the telly unfortunatley but here goes, speak to you all later, with loads of happy in my posts.

Crouch start alongside Torres. This is lovely. Rafa Benitez knows what he is doing.! IRWT YNWA

im watching it on irish television.... i have ITV but cant stand steve ryder or andy townsend.....ryder is a devils advocate and townsend is full of sh*t!!!!

Positive team. Hope Crouch can either score or be a right pain in the arse for their defence and make room for Torres.

Got to score first!! Come on you mighty reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just opening a tinny good uck to all ,still keeping my mate posted in the maldives.

Crouch rewarded with his goal at the weekend with a starting place.  Shows how little faith Rafa now has in Pennant also.

Arsenal seem to have had the best of the opening five minutes but we'll have these tonight

Well........ that was coming.

0-1. Reina possibly could have done better.  Diaby scores 13 minutes.

Away goal advantage wiped out.

Arsenal, for the first time in all 3 of these games, are looking like the home side I regret to say.

Nice attack for adebaoy - offside:
