Match: Arsenal vs Liverpool Carling Cup 2010 fourth round

Date: 28 October 2009 Wednesday

Starting Time: 1945 GMT

The match will take place at the Emirates and it is the home stadium of Arsenal. So, it is a big advantage for the Gunners as they are always very strong in their home ground. Traditionally, Arsene Wenger puts a very young team in Carling cup. He has been following this tradition for the last few seasons and this way, the young players who can not get any opportunity to play in the English Premier League or at Europea get a very important opportunity to play against the top clubs in England. However, I think that tonight he will be forced to make an exception and he will have to put some senior players. Of course, by senior, I don’t mean aged players but by senior I mean experienced players. So, you can expect that there will be a mixture of youth and experience and let us see how they perform tonight.

On the other hand, Liverpool is perhaps going to put a strong side because their coach Rafael Benitez does not have the same philosophy like Wenger. However, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres may not play in the match. Albert Riera and Martin Kellyare injured and they can not be in the match either. Alberto Aquilani can play his first match for Liverpool and let us see how it does.

In the current season, Arsenal’s young players are doing very well. They are in good position at the moment in the league. In fact, from nine matches the Gunners have got 19 points and are at the third position. In the second position is Manchester United with 22 points from 10 matches. In fact, Arsenal has the best goal difference in the so far with a goal difference for 16. Only Chelsea has that record in the season so far.

On the other hand, Liverpool has a very tough season so far. They have lost a number of matches. But the good part is that in this Saturday, they played against Manchester United and dominated the match and won the match by 2-0. So, their supporters are also expecting big performance tonight from the players.

The league club is a place to show the talent that Arsene Wenger has in his young players. Carlos Vela, Sanchez Watt, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbsare great players and they are perhaps the players for the future for their respective countries. On the other hand, Samir Nasri has been out of action for last few months and tonight he is expected to make a come back. In fact, it will be great to see him in an action. However, Arsenal will surely miss big players Van Persie, Arshavin and Fabregas. I hope that Arsene Wenger puts them in the reserve bench so that if needed they can come into the match.

League cup is something that Liverpool is always strong and in fact, in this competition, they are the strongest and best team. They have won the trophy seven times and it is more than any other club. Liverpool has also played in the final ten times and it is also a record.

Alberto Aquilani is a player that came to Liverpool with a lot of money but has not been able to do anything because of injury. So, it is his opportunity tonight to show his skill. Well, it is interesting to know that Wenger was interested about him to have him in London.

ESPN reported:

But Aquilani was also a player who interested Arsenal following some eye-catching performances in Serie A and Wenger only halted his pursuit when the player suffered from fitness problems last season.

"Yes I know him well," Wenger told the club's official website. "He played against us in the Champions League last year and came off the bench in Rome. He is a talented player but has been troubled a lot by injuries.

"We followed him for one or two years but he did not play a lot last year so he got a little bit out of sight for us and we lost our interest in him."

About the match BBC wrote:

Arsenal

• Arsenal, the 1987 and 1993 winners, have reached at least the last eight in each of the last six seasons.

• The Gunners have a 100% home record this season, having won all of their seven matches at the Emirates Stadium.

Liverpool

• Liverpool have not won away from home since their victory at Leeds in the previous round.

• They are also yet to score an away goal since that match at Elland Road.

So, in the end, it will be a big match. I hope that it becomes a competitive match and whoever wins it becomes an enjoyable game.
