Gunners split over Anfield factor

Wenger admitted to reporters at Anfield that his players will never have experienced anything like the Kop on a European night.

He said: "It is difficult here, I accept, because they are a little bit louder than anywhere else. They have more stamina than anywhere else, but at the end of the day it'll come down to how we play on the pitch.

"It will be a comfort to Liverpool but it is down to us to keep the crowd quiet."

Adebayor, however, caused much amusement among the Merseyside contingent of the press pack when he told the same news conference that he knew exactly what to expect having faced Liverpool in the Carling Cup last season.

He said: "For sure we are ready. A lot of our players have already played against Liverpool. We played them in the FA Cup and Carling Cup last season, so for me the atmosphere will be similar to what we saw a year ago.

"The players are ready. Cesc Fabregas is ready, Flamini is ready."

Meanwhile, Wenger revealed his belief that Arsenal WILL win the Premier League title this season.

He said: "I personally still believe that we will finish champions of this league. The Man Utd result on Sunday helped a lot because if they had won I would have said 'no'. But I still believe we will do it."
