On Saturday, 5 April, Arsenal play at home to Liverpool in the second of their three fixtures against each other in the space of seven days.
It will be Rafael BenÃtez’s 12th Premier League visit to one of the big four and he has yet to win. BenÃtez has lost all three matches at Arsenal and all four at Manchester United. Liverpool have failed to score in their four Premier League visits to Chelsea since BenÃtez took charge in the summer of 2004.
Liverpool’s first point at Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United under BenÃtez’s management came from a 0-0 draw at Chelsea in February.
Two of Liverpool’s three goals on other big four grounds under BenÃtez were scored at Arsenal. In May 2005, Steven Gerrard scored in a 3-1 defeat and LuÃs GarcÃa scored as Liverpool lost 2-1 in March 2006.
