I'm stuck in Denmark this week but looks like i'll be able to watch the Arsenal game on ATVO, the litre of dark beer will accompany it well . Wonder if the young 'uns will spank Sheffield Utd again . Can see a few upsets on the cards tonight and tomorrow.

Swansea vs Cardiff should be pretty good, United vs Boro... not got high hopes if I'm honest what with us likely to field a reserve side.

 

[G|mp]

A reserve side with Ronaldo, no Fabio neither, Manucho maybe

 

[Andybtsn]

Caaaaaaaam on Leeds & Boro

 

[nikebee]

Ronaldo will start apparently...

Liverpool 11:
---------Cavalieri

Bit surprised Babel's starting upfront. Would've been an ideal match for Keane to break his duck and get a little confidence.

Yea i suppose. He's on the bench so he could still come on at some point and get one.

You posted just before I did

Sounds like we've got a semi decent side out there tonight.

Vidic, Ronaldo, Anderson all starting with Rodders as well

 

[CliffyG]

Arsenal team here:

Lukasz Fabianski
Gavin Hoyte
Alexandre Song
Johan Djourou
Kieran Gibbs
Fran Merida
Aaron Ramsey
Jack Wilshere
Mark Randall
Carlos Vela
Nicklas Bendtner

Average age is 18. Hoping Vela and Wilshere do well tonight.

Nani
Anderson
Possebon
Giggs
Ronaldo

Welbeck

Not bad, strong midfield... I'd have thought Manucho would have been on though (presuming he's fit) since he hasn't played a game for us yet.

Ben Amos in goal though... debut for the club.

 

[G|mp]

Tevez and Manucho are on the bench

 

[nikebee]

Ah good, hopefully Manucho gets some minutes under his belt tonight.

Bit worried about Welbeck on his own though, it'll be slated as 4-3-3 with Giggs, Ronaldo and Welbeck upfront but we all know it's 4-5-1

 

[Cob]

I can see Giggs playing as the 2nd striker. That'll give us a standard 4-4-2.

 

[Cob]

Leeds 1 down.
