Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London Wednesday 2 April 2008 - 20.45 CET Quarter-Finals, - Matchday 9 Arsenal FC - Liverpool FC MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London Wednesday 2 April 2008 - 20.45 CET Quarter-finals, - Matchday 9 Contents 1 - Match background 7 - UEFA information 2 - Match facts 8 - Match-by-match lineups 3 - Squad list 9 - Competition facts 4 - Head coach 10 - Team facts 5 - Match officials 11 - Competition information 6 - Domestic information 12 - Legend Match background Conquerors of the two Milan clubs in the last round, Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC will meet for the first time in European competition – and the 200th time overall – when they contest the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final in north London. • Arsenal's superior Premier League position and their recent record against the Anfield club may make them appear marginal favourites but Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez eliminated the Gunners from the UEFA Champions League with Valencia CF and his success in all-English contests against Chelsea FC, not to mention his club's history in the competition, should ensure no shortage of self-belief on the visitors' part. • This is Arsenal's fifth quarter-final appearance in Europe's élite club competition and their record to date is one win and three defeats. Liverpool, by comparison, are appearing at this stage for the 12th time and have a record of eight wins and three defeats. • Arsenal advanced to the quarter-final by deposing holders AC Milan in the first knockout round. Following a goalless draw in London, Arsène Wenger's team became the first English club to beat Milan at San Siro when goals from Cesc Fabregas (84) and Emmanuel Adebayor (90+2) secured a 2-0 triumph in the return. • They had previously finished second in Group H behind Sevilla FC, ending the group stage with a record of W4 D1 L1. • Liverpool's progression through the group stage was less comfortable – they won their final three matches to secure second spot in Group A behind FC Porto and a record of W3 D1 L2. • Yet they were impressive 3-0 aggregate winners against Italian champions FC Internazionale Milano in the first knockout round, winning 2-0 at Anfield through Dirk Kuyt (85) and Steven Gerrard (90), before a Fernando Torres strike (64) decided the return in Milan. • Arsenal have won their last four home games against Liverpool and are unbeaten in eight fixtures against their opponents on home soil. Last updated 01.04.2008 9:38:10CET Match background 1 Arsenal FC - Liverpool FC Wednesday 2 April 2008 - 20.45 CET MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London • The last time Liverpool prevailed at Arsenal was 13 February 2000, Titi Camara's 18th-minute goal securing a 1-0 Premier League win. • Arsenal may also gain confidence from the fact they eliminated Liverpool from both English cup competitions last season. The London club beat then FA Cup holders Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield in a third-round tie on 6 January 2007, Tomáš Rosický (37, 45) and Thierry Henry (84) scoring for the visitors while Kuyt (71) got Liverpool's goal. • Arsenal returned to Anfield three days later and beat Liverpool 6-3 in a League Cup quarter-final match. It was the first time the Reds had conceded six goals at home since a 6-0 reverse against Sunderland AFC in April 1930. • For Arsenal this is only the second time they have faced English opposition in Europe and they will not want reminding of their quarter-final defeat by London rivals Chelsea FC in the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League season. Arsenal finished that campaign unbeaten in the Premier League but they went down 3-2 on aggregate to Chelsea, losing the second leg 2-1 at home after a 1-1 away draw. That defeat was Arsenal's last at home in the UEFA Champions League – of the subsequent 18 games, excluding qualifiers, they have won 12 and drawn six. • Liverpool, by contrast, have fared well in previous all-English ties. Although beaten 2-0 on aggregate by Nottingham Forest FC in the first round of the 1978/79 European Champion Clubs' Cup, they recorded victories in their three other knockout contests. • In 1972/73 the Merseyside club got past Tottenham Hotspur FC on away goals in the UEFA Cup semi-finals following a 2-2 aggregate draw. More recently, they beat Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2004/05 – winning the second leg 1-0 at Anfield following a 0-0 first-leg draw – and then repeated the feat last season when Daniel Agger's goal cancelled out a 1-0 first-leg loss in London and the Reds proceeded to win 4-1 on penalties. • Arsenal may be above Liverpool in the Premier League standings but domestic form has counted for nothing in recent all-English duels. When Chelsea beat Arsenal in 2004 and Liverpool bettered Chelsea in 2005 and 2007, it was the losing side that finished higher in the Premier League. • Benítez got the better of Arsenal in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League second group stage when in charge of Valencia. The teams drew 0-0 at Highbury in December 2002 and met again in their final group match at Mestalla in March 2003, when a 2-1 Valencia victory secured first place in the section for the Spanish side – and relegated Arsenal to third. • The clubs have met 199 times previously, with Arsenal winning 70 and Liverpool 80, with 49 drawn. • In 94 home games against Liverpool, Arsenal have recorded 41 wins, 29 draws and 24 defeats. • Arsenal's biggest home win in this fixture was an 8-1 triumph in the English top flight in 1934/35. Liverpool's biggest victory was 5-0, on their first visit to Arsenal in the old second division in 1893/94. • Liverpool and Arsenal last met in a two-leg tie in the English League Cup semi-final in February 1978. Liverpool won the first leg at Anfield 2-1 and held out for a goalless draw in north London in the return. • The teams will face each other three times in the space of seven days. After the first leg on 2 April, they will reconvene at the Arsenal Stadium for a Premier League match on 5 April before the second leg of their quarter-final on 8 April. • If that seems excessive, their counterparts in the 1979/80 season played each other five times in 20 days. After drawing their FA Cup semi-final 0-0 on 12 April, they drew two subsequent replays – 1-1 on both 16 and 28 April – before Arsenal finally prevailed in the third, winning 1-0 through a Brian Talbot goal on 1 May. In the middle of all that the teams also met in the league, drawing 1-1 at Anfield on 19 April. Last updated 01.04.2008 9:38:10CET Match facts 2 Arsenal FC - Liverpool FC Wednesday 2 April 2008 - 20.45 CET MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London • Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini was part of the Olympique de Marseille team defeated 2-0 by Benítez's Valencia in the UEFA Cup final in May 2004. • Liverpool's Ryan Babel featured for former club AFC Ajax in their home defeat (1-2) and away draw (0-0) with Arsenal in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage. • Arsenal midfielder Fabregas is a colleague of Liverpool trio Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina, Álvaro Arbeloa and Torres in the Spain national squad. • The tie also pits Arsenal forward Robin van Persie against his Dutch international team-mates Babel and Kuyt. Van Persie and Kuyt have also played together at club level, during the 2003/04 season at Feyenoord. • Arsenal pair Jens Lehmann and Rosický finished on the losing side against Liverpool with BV Borussia Dortmund in the 2001/02 UEFA Champions League first group stage. Rosicky was denied a winning goal by the woodwork in a 0-0 home draw with the Merseyside club in September 2001, but a 2-0 defeat at Anfield the following month eliminated Dortmund and confirmed Liverpool as group winners. Match facts ARSENAL UEFA milestones • None 2007/08 UEFA Champions League statistics • No Arsenal player has featured in all ten UEFA Champions League games this season, including qualifying. Indeed, none has played in all eight matches in the competition proper with Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Eboué making the most appearances with seven each. • Emmanuel Adebayor has been flagged offside on 19 occasions, more than any other player in this season's UEFA Champions League. • Arsenal have been caught offside 29 times to date, with Chelsea FC the joint highest total of the eight remaining teams. Disciplinary information • Denilson, Gaël Clichy, Eboué, Aleksandr Hleb and Adebayor are within one yellow card of a suspension. Latest domestic information • Saturday 29 March: Bolton Wanderers FC 2-3 Arsenal FC (Matthew Taylor 14 43; William Gallas 62, Robin van Persie 68 pen, Jlloyd Samuel og 90) Arsenal mounted a sterling comeback at the Bolton Stadium after falling 2-0 down to Taylor's first-half double and losing Abou Diaby to a 31st-minute red card for a foul on Gretar Steinsson. Captain Gallas started the recovery from Cesc Fabregas' left-wing corner just past the hour and Van Persie levelled from the penalty spot six minutes later after Gary Cahill had brought down Hleb. It still looked as if the visitors would have to settle for a point, but in added time Fabregas' shot took two deflections with Bolton defender Samuel getting the final touch to give Arsenal a memorable win. Last updated 01.04.2008 9:38:10CET Match facts 3 Arsenal FC - Liverpool FC Wednesday 2 April 2008 - 20.45 CET MATCH PRESS KIT Arsenal Stadium, London • "It's an incredible win, it was a real mental test today," said Arsène Wenger.

  • Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing Their Way
    Review of 2010/11 – Part 2 – Losing their way Leeds United’s return to the Championship had seen them exceed expectations, despite heavy defeats at home to Preston and Cardiff and an embarrassing 5-2 reverse at Barnsley. The sheen of beating table-topping QPR on 18 December had been dulled by losing two-goal leads against Leicester and Portsmouth, but as 2011 opened, Leeds were fourth in the table, level on 40 points with Cardiff and Swansea, with Rangers seven points clear of that pack. It was heady stuff after three years in the League One wilderness and supporters were hopeful of a real promotion push in the New Year. Andy O'Brien, pictured celebrating his goal against Hull City on 9 November, made his move to Elland Road permanent on New The positive mood was enhanced by the Year's Day announcement that Irish international centre-back Andy O’Brien, on loan from Bolton since 29 October, would make the move permanent. O’Brien, who represented himself in contract talks, commented: “The meeting with the chairman was something I will remember all my life. It was a bit like when I signed my first contract at Bradford with Geoffrey Richmond – that was entertaining as well. My Dad came in with me initially and he is a big bloke of around 20 stone. The chairman’s first words were, ‘We’ll sign the fat one instead.’ My Dad replied he had been on a diet for six weeks, to which the chairman said, ‘Well that isn't effing working, is it?’ Dad is quite quick-witted and said back, ‘Well I don’t know what your excuse is’.

A memorable European Champion Clubs' Cup semi-final contest unravelled in 1964/65 with Liverpool winning the first game 3-1 before their advantage was overturned in Milan as the home team ran out 3-0 victors. • The triumph helped Inter to their second successive final as they went on to retain the trophy and, in their continuing search for a first UEFA Champions League crown, will be hoping this rematch after a wait of 43 years proves a happy omen. • On 24 October, the prospect of remaining on Europe's greatest stage beyond Christmas seemed a distant possibility for Rafael Benítez's men. They had just recorded their second defeat in three games, losing 2-1 away to Beşiktaş JK, and the Group A table showed them with just a single point, gained in a 1-1 draw at FC Porto on Matchday 1. • The Reds then won their next three fixtures, scoring 16 goals and conceding only one, concluding with a 4-0 victory away to Olympique de Marseille which clinched second place in the section with ten points, one less than Porto.
