Arsenal To Meet Liverpool In League Cup Fourth Round

The draw for the fourth round of the League Cup has provided stiff opposition for Arsene Wenger's young guns, as Arsenal take on Liverpool at home.

Mark Hughes, aiming for a first tournament win with fiscal superpower Manchester City, has been offered, on paper, a relatively straightforward encounter with Scunthorpe United. Their local rivals Manchester United, meanwhile, travel to lower league Barnsley.

Other all Premier League ties include Bolton Wanderers' trip to Chelsea, Sunderland's hosting of Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur's home tie with Everton; a side who harbour hopes of claiming the competition, as David Moyes indicated earlier in the week that the League Cup would be taken seriously.

Darren Ferguson could be hoping for a showdown with his father, Sir Alex, providing his Peterborough United outfit negotiate a path into the fifth round pot. Blackburn Rovers stand in their way.

I knew we'd get one of the big sides. Lets hope our kids kick their arses just like the last time we played the buggers in the Carling Cup.

They'd field a strong side? What do you think?

Who knows what Benitez would field. Last time he sent out a mixture of youth and 1st team, and lost 4-2. He may use a stronger side this time round, then again he may want to rest players like Gerrard and Torres. The only 1st teamer that is almost garenteed to play is Carragher as he plays almost all carling cup games.

we have got the quality! go for it!

I am sure wenger will definitely field a young side. Maybe at the back he won't make major changes.

Its a big game, which we need to win.
