07.05.2005 - Reds' focus switches to premiership

---

Rafa Benitez and his players visit Highbury tomorrow knowing that nothing less than a win will be enough to keep them in the hunt for the Premiership's 4th Champions League place.

Following Everton's victory at home to Newcastle today, Liverpool's only hope of overtaking David Moyes' men is to win their final games, and hope that Everton lose both of their final week fixtures.

And after a fantastic week which saw the Reds qualify for their fist European Cup final in 20 years during the week, confidence is high as Liverpool travel to Arsenal hoping to do the 'double' over last season's Champions.

A largely unchanged side is expected to be fielded by Benitez, with the return of Xabi Alonso possibly the only change which the Reds boss will make to the team which beat Chelsea in midweek.

Graeme Poll, who controversially referreed this fixture during the 2000-1 fixture, sending off three players on that occasion, will take charge of the game.
