Arsenal will play Liverpool today at Emirates 14:00 (GMT) in the fifth round of FA Cup. Howard Webb will referee the game.
Arsenal will probably going to give their star players a rest ahead of Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich next week. While this will be an advantage for LFC players, they can repeat last weekend’s victory once again but this time at Emirates.
Team news for both teams:
Santi Cazorla is a doubt for this clash but Arsenal defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini returns from a three game ban. Olivier Giroud and Wojciech Szczesny might be rested today ahead of the CPL fixture. While Arsenal star player Aaron Ramsey, defender Thomas Vermaelen and Kim Kallstrom are still unfit.
On the other side, Liverpool Vice-captain Daniel Agger returned last weekend from his calf injury and probably he will be replacing Kolo Toure today. Right back Glen Johnson has started training after recovering from his injury but he might be benched tonight. Yesterday, Henderson underwent a surgery on his broken list, so he could be replace by Joe Allen.
