Good day all. It is difficult to tell what is going to happen today since Liverpool seem to be putting out a weakened side since their only real priority now is the Champions League. It has been reported that Adebayor and Van Persie are injured, but this morning it has been confirmed that Adebayor should be fit enough to play.

I hope that Walcott gets a run out, up front, or in place of Eboue...but I don't know, Wenger has surprised me many a time this season by sticking to Eboue who now has 29 appearances this season with a grand total of ZERO goals from our right midfield. So much for goal scoring midfielders from the days of Pires and Ljungberg.

Anyway, with Adebayor proclaimed fit to play, I expect us to line up a bit like this if Wenger decides to field his 'strongest' eleven for the second time three days:

Almunia
Toure
Senderos
Gallas
Clichy
Eboue
Fabregas
Flamini
Hleb
Adebayor
Walcott/Bendtner

Diaby could be included if Wenger wants to give our key man Eboue a rest, with Walcott switching to the right and Hleb behind Adebayor. We shall find out in an hour’s time.
An unpredictable game, I’m always a bit sceptical when we play in a game that isn't so glamorous as first thought out, like the FA cup tie against United. Both teams will have their heads on Tuesdays game I think.

Let’s hope we have luck on our side today in terms of decisions and Bendtner not making a goal line block for the other team. See you all on the other side. Blessings.
