So Song, Wilshere, Gervinho, Nasri, Fabregas, Djourou and Gibbs all missing for various reasons, I genuinely fancy our chances and will be disappointed if we don't capitalise on their current predicament

why is Song not playing?

I know Gervinho is suspended. Gibbs, Wilshere, Nasri and Djourou are either injured or unlikely to play. Eboue and Fabregas have been sold, Vela is on loan, and this leaves:

Szczesny, Fabianski, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Squillaci, Traore, Jenkinson, Sagna, Song(?), Frimpong, Diaby, Rosicky, Van Persie, Ramsey, Arshavin, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Miyaichi and Chamakh.

Their defense is there for the taking. This is how they will probably line up:

Sagna--Koscielny--Vermaelen--Traore

Alternatively, Traore could be dropped and Jenkinson could be thrown into the fray in central defense while Vermaelen takes the left side. I highly doubt Wenger would be dumb enough to throw Squillaci into the game with someone like Suarez around but, you never know with him.

They do have a strong midfield though, with Ramsey, Rosicky, Arshavin, Walcott and Diaby plus Van Persie in attack.

I think Aquilani should play. He will own them.

Any news on gerrards fitness? All gone a bit quiet.

I would give aquillani a run out, arsenal are not all that physical.

Agreed. Aquaman or Meireles in the centre of the park.

Sky Sports reported he has returned to light training. On course for a September comeback

Arsenal were shit last night. Udinese opened them up for fun and subsequently missed 4 1-on-1's. Any premiership side would of scored at least 1 of those chances.

They lost Gibbs and Djourou to injury. Defensively they are there for the taking. My Arsenal mates are already writing off this season.

I have this really strange feeling that we will f*ck up for some reason

I'm sure he's being charged for the stamp, not yet though I don't think

LFCTransferSpec Echo: #LFC are hoping Daniel Agger will recover from a dead leg in time to face Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday

A part from their deflated squad i think Arsenal will be focused on their CL qualifier match...We have a pretty good chance on getting a good result (which only means fcking them up).

Ar$enal 1 - 4 liverpool (Suarez, Downing, Carroll 2)

lets rip 'em a new one lads

Seriously, we have to win this one. It's away but they're missing half of their squad and are probably tiered because of yesterday's match. But I share the opinion with metalhead, I also have a strange feeling that we'll feck this one up. The players aren't used to each other yet and it's still too soon for Kenny to be certain what formation, line-up and tactics would be the best with our players. But still, I'll be disappointed with anything less than a win. It's an important match against a very weakened opponent, wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a key match when we look at the table at the end of the season.

I'd we get a win we are kind of back on track as I would have taken a draw and a win from our opening 2 games before the season started!
