Mangle Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 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 (22 Sept). • They are also yet to score an away goal since that match at Elland Road. HOME WIN come on you Gunners!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck1961 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 This is probably a question for both sets of fans, as they are more in the know than me! Will both sides employ their usual strategy of playing fringe/squad players or will there be a mix and match of the 1st team regulars and fringe players. My line of thinking is due to, a - Arsene Wenger statement last week at Arsenal's AGM that they will win a trophy this season, and the Carling Cup is one of the 4 main competitions they enter, gotta keep the options open! b - Rafa Benitez may think a good cup win at Arsenal will only keep the momentum going from Sunday' victory against Man Utd.

St Darren Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Mangle, you've just picked a little bit out of the BBC article!! Liverpool are the most successful side in the competition!!! I'm going for a home win as well, due to the fact that your reserve team are better than ours. Would have gone, but can't be bothered to spend the money (tickets are cheap though) in getting there, to watch football in a corporate stadium that lacks any sort of atmosphere! I think Arsenal will win 3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTW Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Liverpool, who beat Manchester United on Sunday, are the most successful club in League Cup history and are bidding to lift the trophy for a record eighth time. But the omens are against them ahead of their trip to the capital. Liverpool have been knocked out of this competition by London clubs in each of the last five seasons, suffering defeats against Chelsea (twice), Arsenal, Tottenham and Crystal Palace. Head-to-head • Liverpool are unbeaten in the last seven league and cup matches between these clubs, although five have been drawn. • Arsenal's last win against Liverpool was 6-3 at Anfield in the League Cup quarter-final in January 2007.

Mangle Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Well spotted, the BBC website! I reckon the Arsenal team will include mostly "2nd string" players, and Liverpoll will follow suit and certainly not play the likes of Reina, Torres, Gerrard etc....

midfield Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 He frustrates the hell out of me. I'm not convinced about him yet. Aaron Ramsey - class act. Aquilani looks a tidy player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob P aka class of 93 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Arsenal,the QPR of the premiership! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangle Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 What an honour for QPR to be mentioned in the same sentence as Arsenal. That hasn't happened since the 70's has it (Phil Parkes, Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis et al)? Well done the Arsenal boys, now to beat the real rivals on Saturday lunchtime.......

ah reckon so Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Everyone seems to be missing the fact that this was Liverpools 5th defeat in the last 6 games surely this isn't good enough for a club of this stature. I was surprised to see the reserves out for both sides as both managers desperatly need to win a trophy Liverpools only realistic chance of a trophy is now the FA cup, but never mind you beat United that should appease the Anfield faithful for another year and I'm sure next season will be 'your year' AGAIN.
