ANOTHER ARSENAL V LIVERPOOL FIXTURE

Tomorrow The Arsenal (9th) face Liverpool (7th) in a fixture that has been rather meaningful over the years; particularly for the Gunners. FA Cup Finals, League Cup encounters, title deciders and top of the table tussles have good memories for both sets of fans.

Saturday's encounter sees both managers in curious positions. Arsenal have a (still) new manager and are struggling to find a route back to the big time but have a European Quarter Final to look forward to as a silver lining for a disappointing season . Have an experienced and very successful manager and are struggling to get back to the dizzy heights of the last couple of seasons and have a European Quarter Final to look forward to as a silver lining for a disappointing season.

Something I think we can expect from the game is goals as both teams are capable of tremendous highs going forward and lack of focus at the back.What the result will end up meaning in the context of the season is hard to gauge but both clubs face a summer of decision making.

it's ironic that both teams currently have their noisy (less successful) neighbours making hay while the sun shines, delighting in their perceived upper hands; after all the table doesn't lie. Wouldn't it be an ironic last laugh to those rivals if both teams took part in the European Super Cup in Belfast on 11th August.
