In a late afternoon kickoff, Londoners Arsenal and Chelsea go head to head in another mouthwatering clash. The double-header comes hours before the day of resurrection in the Christian calendar and Liverpool manager, Rafael Benitez believes that Sunday will mark a major revival for his team. To most people, Liverpool is realistically out of the title race and the game is just about rivalries and bragging rights.
The Merseysiders are left with eight games and trailing their Manchester rivals by what looks like an unassailable eight points. Having posted a seven-game winning streak, Benitez believes the fat lady has not sang yet. What with a calculator on his side! After a bad start in 2008 against clubs that 'the Reds' should have bundled off with contemptuous ease, Liverpool has seen a revival of fortunes while Manchester United seem to be losing traction as evidenced by their unconvincing 1-0 win over the bottom-placed Derby County on Saturday. Liverpool goes into the game boosted by the free scoring exploits of "El Nino' Fernando Torres. Just in his first season, Torres is already tearing record books at Anfield. He has already scored 20 league goals and thus breaking a record that was achieved by Robbie Fowler some 12 years ago.
