Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Gunners Will Dominate Reds in Epic Premier League Clash

Arsenal will dominate Liverpool on Saturday and as a result end the Reds' dreams of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, which will mean they won't return to Champions League football next season.

After an unconvincing Carling Cup Final victory over Cardiff City on Sunday, Liverpool is a tired squad with some weaknesses that will be exposed by the Gunners.

For starters, the Liverpool attack has not played well in recent matches, and since returning from his eight-match ban, Luis Suarez has been ineffective.

In the club's last two league matches, which were against Manchester United and Tottenham, Liverpool scored just one goal at Old Trafford and drew with Spurs at Anfield.

Against an Arsenal team that just scored five goals against Tottenham last week, Liverpool will have to score a few times on Saturday to earn a positive result against the Gunners, but with such little attacking success in recent league matches vs. quality opponents, it's tough to see Liverpool scoring three or more goals on Saturday.

Arsenal have been boosted by the return to form of forward Theo Walcott and midfielder Tomas Rosicky. Both players have under performed for most of the season but recently have been in fine form and are even scoring for the club as well.

Walcott had two second-half goals against Tottenham last week, while Rosicky scored the goal that put Arsenal ahead for good just after halftime.

While Arsenal struggled in the league cups and Champions League play during February, their performance in Premier League matches has been quite good.

The Gunners have won their last three league matches by a combined score of 14-4. With Arsenal getting goal-scoring contributions from many different players, not just world class striker Robin van Persie, the squad is confident they can score goals at Anfield and earn a positive result on Saturday.

Liverpool are under immense pressure to take all three points against the Gunners, and under this pressure, they will fail.

The Reds won't be able to find enough scoring to defeat an in-form Gunners attack on Saturday, and as a result, the chances of Liverpool finishing in the top four this season will be severely diminished.
