• CAN WE PLEASE START BENDTNER THIS TIME!?!
• Not sure how many games Arsenal expects to win if they keep playing their highly unorthodox 4-6-0 line-up.
  
• Eduardo will not return tomorrow, but should feature next Wednesday at F.C. Porto.
• There's no other injury news. That's kind of startling.
  
• Arsenal is unbeaten in its last 11 home matches against Liverpool in all competitions.
• Arsenal themselves are winless in its last four in all competitions and have scored twice in that span.
• A loss would make three straight league defeats for the Gunners for the first time since April 2007.
• This is the third time Arsenal have lost consecutive league games this season.
• Liverpool are unbeaten in their last seven league matches.
• Liverpool have kept four consecutive clean sheets.
• In their last five away from Anfield, however, they have won one, drawn three, and lost at Portsmouth.
  
• Arsene Wenger still has 299 career Premier League wins.
• Liverpool will be without Fernando Torres (knee), Yossi Benayoun (rib), Glen Johnson (knee), and Alberto Aquilani (illness).
