LIVERPOOL VS ARSENAL


The Champions League has entered the next stage with only 8 teams remaining. Two big English teams have drawn each other, Arsenal take on Liverpool.

Champions League history is the making when Arsenal and Liverpool meet for the first time in this competition in their 115 year rivalry at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

The Champions League quarter-final first leg will be the 200th occasion the sides have clashed and although they have faced each other in FA Cup finals and a title decider in the past, few of the previous encounters have had as much at stake.

A place in the semi-finals against Chelsea or Fenerbahce awaits the winners, with May’s final in Moscow looming just over the horizon.

Wednesday’s match is the first of three between the sides in seven days with a Premier League meeting at the Emirates on Saturday to follow before the return leg at Anfield on April 8.

Taking on a buddy of mine in this 3 match series where at stake will be 3 bottles of Barolo or Brunello's from a decent vintage. No matter who wins i know i'm going to have a good week. I love this game :-)
