It's just lucky Eboue is in Turkey.
I'm sure I don't need to remind you of Liverpool's last visit to North London but let's just say taking the lead in the 95th minute would usually mean 3 points for any side in the world... Not Arsenal! Eboue's clumsy challenge and Dirty Dirk's subsequent pen (see above) effectively ended our title challenge so this all about revenge.
After seeing Gibbs and Djourou pull up short with hamstring problems against Udinese in midweek, and Alex Song face a three game suspension (including the Man Utd match), our already thread-bare squad is looking a little thin on the ground. Gervinho's ban also starts tomorrow whilst Traore, Diaby, Wilshere, and now Rosicky miss out once again. Young Emmanuel Frimpong has a huge job to do in midfield against the likes of the creative Charlie Adam and Suarez, who will drop deep to feed off Carroll.
Liverpool meanwhile, look a different club under Dalglish and may prove our closest challengers in the battle for the top four this season. However,last week's drab home draw against Sunderland shows there is still room for improvement in the Anfield side.
Likely Arsenal Line-Up: Szceszney, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Frimpong, Nasri, Walcott, Van Persie, Arshavin. Subs: Fabianski, Squillaci, Lansbury, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Myiachi, Chamakh, Bendtner
