LIVERPOOL VS ARSENAL FA CUP 3RD ROUND

liverpoolfc.tv reports..

Holders Liverpool will begin the defence of the FA Cup with a mouth watering 3rd round tie at home to Arsenal in a repeat of the 2001 final.

The tie will be played at Anfield over the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, January 6th/7th 2007.

The Reds hold fantastic memories from the 2001 final when a Michael Owen inspired Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The two sides meet before then of course in the Carling Cup quarter-final at Anfield on Tuesday, December 19th.

it's time for liverpool to get something back of arsenal. they beaten us 3-0 the last time and we should be taking this opportunity to knock them out of the tournament.

we are going to meet them in the carling cup quarter-final and now the fa cup 3rd round. it's going to be exciting and i'm looking forward to these games. it's going to be at anfield and i guess it's an advantage to us. the last 2 seasons, anfield games against arsenal has been good. a last min shot by neil mellor and a rebound by luis garcia. i hope that we can remain the good form and keep the record.

we've lost many points in the league, and i'm sure rafael benitez would like to bring some silverware back and of course, improve our league form at the same time. come on guys! do us proud and bring glory back to anfield..

you'll never walk alone..


cheers,
