    I think it is going to be a very difficult game to predict.

    It is Arsenal's to lose (home game and we should win the midfield), but there are enough players on both sides that can score with a moment of genius, so just a couple of those and any prediction is blown out of the water.

    A draw is a safe bet. We have both encountered similar sides (in quality) in the league this season and neither side has yet to be tested to its full extend in the league. Playing at home, I would give us the edge if we had key players but those key players are now missing. We still have enough to gain a point though.

    I think Flamini is a massive loss for this game. With him I think we could have kept Liverpool at bay, but without him I think we'll struggle to contain Suarez, Sturridge. That said, Liverpool's attacking play will suit us and I'd expect us to be well up for this game so I reckon a narrow home win <ok>

    Very handy player. Liverpool did really well to sign him, he went under the radar a bit really.

    We've missed him a lot since he's been out, he adds that extra bit of spark when we have trouble breaking teams down.

    Don't think he'll start though.

    We need to win, anything else, after losing against 2 big sides at home in the space of a week, is not good enough. We want to show we're contenders? Then let's beat a big team.

    Agree. There's too much attacking quality for this to be a 0-0.

    2-1. Segry boy uses pace to set up Santi, Suarez scores, Giroud nicks it in the 2nd half

    You're correct, my error... misread the fixture list.

    So two run of the mill Prem games coming up immediately which we should win and then a toughie after that with one of our rivals to the premier league title (Southampton).

    Quite right. You write off a team with Van Persie and Rooney at your peril.
