Wenger aiming to keep Reds fans quiet
Published in FilGoal on 08 - 04 - 2008

Arsene Wenger believes his team can cause an upset at Anfield when the Gunners visit Liverpool in the deadly Champions League contest on Tuesday.
The 1-1 first leg scoreline leaves Wenger's men with no choice but to score against last season's finalists, and the Frenchman has full confidence in his young squad.
However, the Arsenal coach is aware of his opposition's toughness at home as he considers keeping the Kopites quiet his key to success.
"We have belief we can win anywhere in the world. There is a little comfort when the game starts and you are at home, but in Europe that doesn't matter very much," he said.
"Liverpool have the support but it's down to us to keep the crowd quiet.
"It is difficult because they are a little bit louder than anywhere else, and they have had a bit more stamina than anywhere else - but we will try."
Key trio Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb and Gael Clichy are expected to return after starting on the bench in the 1-1 Premiership draw with the Reds at the weekend.
Kop Effect

Reds held Arsenal twice last week
Speaking in the opposite direction, Rafa Benitez seems to be counting on the massive support provided by Liverpool fans during the expectedly fiery 90 minutes.
Benitez's team ousted Chelsea from the competition's semis in 2007 and 2005 and the Spaniard aims to repeat the feat in another crunch all-English tie.
You could feel the atmosphere against Chelsea in the semi-final, and I expect that to be the same this time. Our fans can also hold the key," he said.
"I saw Chelsea affected by the Kop, it was clear. Hopefully it will be the same again.
"It is easy to say that you (Arsenal) do not have any problems with big crowds in away games of this importance. But when you have to face our fans for 90 minutes on top of you, then it is not easy for the majority of players.
"They have been here before. But the difference is the Champions League, it's knock-out now.
"This is our only option if we want to win anything. It is important for us, we need heart but also brain."
Benitez implied that Peter Crouch could be handed a rare starting role after his fine performance at Emirates at the weekend, which included a well-taken strike.
Critical duo Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres are set to regain their places after being given a bench role on Saturday.
