Liverpool v Arsenal - Live!

Minute-by-minute report: Will Rafa's reds come out on top of an all-English battle again? Find out with Lawrence Booth NOW
Preamble: Well, Tom Hicks might have better things to do, but we don't. Yes, it's time for Liverpool, who will defend like a team that doesn't necessarily need to score, and Arsenal, who will attack like a team that most definitely does, to thrash out their fourth 1-1 draw of the season before we enjoy the rare sight of an English team actually advancing via a penalty shootout. But before we go overboard with the sarcasm, let's have a sneak peak at the teams, and the big news in every sense is that Peter Crouch will start up front for Liverpool, with Ryan Babel left on the bench...
