Arsenal and Liverpool will break new ground in their 115-year rivalry at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday when they meet in European competition for the first time.
The Champions League quarter-final first leg will be the 200th occasion the sides have clashed and although they have faced each other in FA Cup finals and a title decider in the past, few of the previous encounters have had as much at stake.
A place in the semi-finals against Chelsea or Fenerbahce awaits the winners, with May's final in Moscow looming just over the horizon.
Probable teams:
Arsenal: Manuel Almunia; Kolo Toure, William Gallas, Philippe Senderos, Gael Clichy; Abou Diaby, Alexandr Hleb, Matthieu Flamini, Cesc Fabregas; Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor.
Liverpool: Pepe Reina; Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel, Sami Hyypia, John-Arne Riise; Fabio Aurelio, Steven Gerrard, Javier Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Yossi Benayoun; Fernando Torres.
