Preview: Arsenal vs. Liverpool

Sports Mole previews the FA Cup encounter between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Arsenal will be hoping to avoid a second defeat to Liverpool in the space of eight days when the two sides meet at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Gunners capitulated during the first 20 minutes at Anfield before eventually falling to a 5-1 defeat, and manager Arsene Wenger will demand a faster start from his team in this FA Cup fifth-round encounter.

Wenger could be without Santi Cazorla, while Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil may find themselves rested ahead of the club's Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich.

Liverpool are in a terrific run of form, and boss Brendan Rodgers is likely to resist the urge to make too many changes with his team looking to continue their recent momentum.

The only change to the starting lineup could see Daniel Agger replace Kolo Toure in defence.

Recent form

Arsenal: WWDWLD

Liverpool: DWWDWW

Arsenal: Fabianski; Jenkinson, Monreal, Mertesacker, Koscielny; Flamini, Rosicky, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Podoski; Bendtner

Liverpool: Mignolet; Flanagan, Cissokho, Skrtel, Agger; Gerrard, Coutinho, Henderson, Sterling; Sturridge, Suarez

Sports Mole says: 2-2
