Manager Arsène Wenger will pick his best team for the second instalment of the trilogy of matches against Liverpool later today.

The Frenchman does not have the same amount of luxury as his counterpart Rafael Benitez, whom he expects will be resting key players Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, in preparation for their Champions League decider on Tuesday.

Liverpool are out of the title race and only have Europe to play for.

The Scousers are also five points clear of fifth-placed Everton in the race for the final Champions League spot.

Wenger said: "I will pick a team which can win the game on Saturday. I feel we have a good chance in the championship and do not want to miss that.

"For us it is important to win because of the situation in the league. It would have a double impact - one for the league and one for the Champions League.

"I never analyse the league when we have things in our own hands but this time that is not completely the case so we have to see where things can turn and change.

"Now it gets so tight you have to think about what might happen elsewhere.

"It can change much quicker than people think."

"I believe Liverpool will make changes. I am not sure whether Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will play.

"They have a big squad and a lot of experienced players who didn't play on Wednesday. To my calculation, eight players with big Premier League experience."

what can i say mathmatically we are not out of the premier league but manchester united and chelsea say and play otherwise !!! 1-1 just wasnt good enough and we out played liverpool yet again in the last 30 mins of the game i just wish they would run at the opposition sum times im all in favour for the stunning and beautiful football our club play but we need the trophies and 2nd/3rd last season i would of said great !! hey even the season before yh thats fair enough but being top alll the way through the season in every cup looking consistent and looking on top of our game now it is nearly over this season and we have the champions league losing 2-1 on aggregiate and we are 3rd in the league with manchester united as our next fixture i just dont understand!!!

Wenger should be keen with the team he chooses to play against Liverpoool since this is a must win game and should be ready to accept the last results.
