History of the Liverpool v Arsenal fixture

Arsenal face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Gunners will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a Champions League match.
