Soccer: Benitez facing huge test

Rafael Benitez needs a win on Sunday like never before - but Arsene Wenger's Gunners stand in his way.

Liverpool are fading fast and Benitez's job - and the club's hopes for a Champions League spot - are hanging in the balance. So the visit of free-scoring Arsenal is the last thing they need.

With Robin van Persie out injured, the Gunners have taken a few steps backwards but they remain a hugely talented group and Benitez needs a big performance from captain Steven Gerrard to buy him a bit of breathing space.

Unfortunately for the Reds boss, the smart money is on Arsenal to take all three points at Anfield.
