I think that, if fit, Peter Crouch might trouble the Arsenal defence along side Robbie Fowler.

Cool, an open net for Arsenal to score in all night seeing how Dudek is playing as the corner flag, I suppose he's the right build for that aint he?

Dudek

                      Finnan         Carra       Agger

                                       Hamann

              Sissoko               Alonso                 Kewell

                                      Gerrard

            Cisse             

                                        Fowler

no he's a makeshift steward/ball boy

hmm, you seem to be having a good laugh at everyones teams and formations...lets see yours, genius

[Rastalovich]

More b1tching ?
Some nice teams listed above, I can only throw a slight variation:

            Dudek
   Hyypia Cara Agger
           Hamann
Kewell    Also       Riise
      Garcia  Gerrard
           Fowler

But:

              Dudek
Finnan Hyypia Cara Riise
Gerrard Also Sissi Kewell
         Moro Fowler

.. is more likely.

happy? its just our strongest and most balanced eleven at the moment that we can field, takes no genius to know that.

[Gareth G]

Spot on there RAFABENITEZ. Most team's who have beaten Arsenal this season have bullied them, but I think we're more than capable of playing them off the park without roughing them up. However, Sissoko will get stuck in the way Arsenal don't like to be played against, so that's why I think he'll get the nod over Didi.

[TheoRacle]

After the Wigan game and speaking from a glass half full perspective, the Morientes Fowler combo easily looks our most potent to date. Apart from Morientes' mistake at Wigan when he continued to run for a ball that Fowler was easily going to get and getting cought offside in the process, I thought the two of them showed a pretty good understanding.

Dudek had a great game on the weekend, the one top notch save he had to make was from the horror slice from Hyppia which was really Sami's only mistake of the game. To me that says that the defence as a whole played well and showed why the Finnan, Carra, Hyypia and Riise combination is our best and most frugal combination.

For me Kewell, Gerard and Alonso all had average games by their standards but still, each made several contibutions to the game which perhaps goes to show what high expectations we have of them and how harshly others judge when the usual 'brilliant' individual performances are not forthcoming.

Didi deserves another run out against the Ar$e. After such a long spell out its easy to forget just how good he is. Rather than have Sissoko running around all over the place,  Hamman offers the ability to breaks up opposition attacks and covers the back four in what can only be described as a 'professional' manner. 

At home, on a better pitch and with a fit SG, I think we should play the best midfield in the prem. With Hamman as rearguard, Alonso the creative general and Stevie and Harry swapping flanks at their discretion Rafa's only real task left is to find a goal scoring combination up front out of Fowler, Cisse, Mori, Crouch and Garcia.

It would be nice to have the opportunity to see Fowler and Garcia together up front one time, I kinda get the feeling that those two would scare the bejesus out of quite a number of defences. At least more than any combo with Crouch, Cisse or Mori in it!

Finnan            Carra                   Sami              Riise


Gerrard                      Hamman                      Kewell
                                  Alonso

                    Morientes            Fowler

Subs:
Carson
Warnock
Kromkamp
Garcia
Crouch

[LiverpoolMadman]

I still prefer Cisse and RF ..... Rafa should try these combination ...

[TheoRacle]

Everything is worth a try LM however I am concerned that Cisse cannot act as a 'provider' as well as the others.  If we've already got a couple then by all means bring him on to partner Fowler and see what happens (but maybe not in the Arsenal game ).

[alilo]

hope liverpool will win

[SouthCoastShankly]

The only worry goign into the game tomorrow is that Arsenals away slump has to end and these type of games always lift sides playing badly. Lets just hope Fowlers form against the arseholes continue

me too...kind of fed up with Morientes

[stmichael]

lets be honest, it's a great time to play arsenal. i know we're not exactly knocking down any trees at the moment but cvonsidering our home recored and arsenal's abysmal away record i expect us to win. looking at it, they're missing their entire first choice back four.

I'm going to be in Liverpool on Tuesday Evening with my son. Can anyone tell me what my chances are of buying tickets (at a reasonable price) outside the grounds? I'd appreciate any advice
