Arsenal v Liverpool

13 April 2012

2pm Sunday, Millennium Stadium.

Tickets: £35 from Highbury box office
Facts: Liverpool have won on both their previous visits to the stadium
Recommended pub: Use pubs in city centre
The Charity Shield may be no more, but the FA are keen to stress football's commitment to communities and Arsenal fans stuck on the M4 may feel trapped in their very own stationary commune. Best not to mention the trains. These teams usually produce feisty affairs - just ask the coin-throwing Jamie Carragher - and both managers will want to put down an early marker for the Championship race. Sky viewers should watch out for monkey man Richard Keys' over-use of the phrase "traditional curtain-raiser to the English season." Really, Richard?
Verdict: ARSENAL MAKE MONKEYS OUT OF HOULLIER'S MEN
