Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Confirmed Line up

The English premier league sure knows how to schedule its fixture, and what better date to place Liverpool vs. Arsenal than on the day that is Easter Sunday?

Happy Easter everyone, but later today, things won’t be happy between Liverpool and Arsenal fans as both teams resume hostilities in what is sure to be a climatic duel for glory and in Liverpool’s case; hope.

The Merseyside Reds go into the game at home on the Anfield turf looking for hope; hope for a place in Europe’s grand tournament that is the Champions League. But that all depends on whether their rivals, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Brighton or Brentford gives them the chance to.

In Arsenal’s case, it is to go one step further to put more gaps against Manchester City who won their game against struggling Southampton at the Saint Mary on Saturday.

Both teams go into Liverpool vs. Arsenal desperately needing the 3 points, but no one needs it more than the Gunners and Mikel Arteta.
