Many who have criticised Eboue now say he should be automatic choice to replace Bacary, perhaps he is, but he didn't just slot in at RB against Chelsea did he? Was Wenger resting him against Bolton, or did he think Toure would be the better right back. I have sympathy with Arsene on that one, but it didn't really work out.

The least likely candidate is Hoyte, in my opinion his game at Man U proved, unfortunately, he will never make it at Arsenal. So should Wenger try Toure again? Well there are still a few other alternatives, he could put Flamini there, and then Gallas and Toure can stay where they normally play.

Another alternative is to play Gallas at RB and put Senderos and Toure in the middle, there certainly are a lot of options, but none feel that comfortable. If Arsenal can let Aliadiere score a goal so easily then Torres will be licking his lips.

I don't think the problem here is one of personnel, Toure, Flamini, even Eboue should be ok in the position, the problem is that the defence has become a shambles. No organisation, no drilling, and inconsistent leadership, all combined with a poor understanding of the offside laws.

Rather than worry about who will be at right back it might be better to worry about coaching and bashing the defence into shape, such a talented group of players should not be conceding so often.

I hope Wenger isn't serious about 0-0 being alright, yes in a way it is, it worked against AC Milan, but if the team does play for a draw it will have to concentrate far harder than it has done in recent weeks. Liverpool will be looking for a clean sheet, and then when Arsenal have lost their will to live a breakaway goal.

Liverpool know they cannot win the league and therefore will concentrate on the CL, in that sense they are a poor man's AC Milan. So we know Liverpool will be concentrating on getting the right result, and, as Chelsea know to their cost, in the CL they are different team.

This will be very tough fixture for the Gunners, the key to winning it will be putting a stop to the losses of concentration; defend well and the goals will come. Defend badly and disaster awaits, I doubt if Liverpool will throw away a two goal lead.
