UAE, March 26, 2007: One of English football’s oldest and fiercest rivalries is renewed when Liverpool take on Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday (March 31), the battle for the one of the most prestigious trophies in world football.

As for four most powerful teams in FA Barclays Premiership the latest standings have Manchester United heading with 75 points followed by Chelsea with 69 points while Arsenal have 55 and not far behind struggling to gain third position is Liverpool with 54 points. There is still the remainder of the season to play for and the title could go anybody’s ways.
Forget the pizza-flinging of Arsenal-Manchester United clashes, and the bitch-slapping seen in Chelsea-Arsenal match-ups, it is the meeting of English football’s two most decorated sides which arguably gets pulses racing the most. As Gunners relentlessly pursue Liverpool’s record of 18 domestic league titles, the Reds will be desperate to put a dint in their rivals’ latest bid for glory. Liverpool need the points to stay in the race for the runners-up spot if not to fend off the challenge of Arsenal for third.
Arsenal has beaten Liverpool three times this season including the FA Cup and Carling Cup, and Rafael Benitezs side will want to restore some pride. Last season in the Premiership Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield thanks to a late winner at the Kop end from Luis Garcia. The season before a stoppage time goal from Neil Mellor earned the Reds a 2-1 win.
