Aquilani to start
Liverpool, 08:30, December 10, 2009 ,
Rafa Benitez has revealed that £20million summer signing Alberto Aquilani is in line for a start against Arsenal on Sunday.
The clash with the Gunners is of massive importance to the Reds after they limped out of the Champions League on Wednesday night with a home defeat to Fiorentina.
Benitez was looking for positives after the 2-1 loss and he says that Aquilani and the return of Fernando Torres are two big pluses to take from the match and indicated the Italian is likely to play against the Gunners.
He said: "To see Aquilani, to see Torres, those were the real positive things for the next match and the rest of our season.
"Aquilani showed his quality, his touch was good. His vision and passing were good, but obviously he will have to work on his match fitness.
"Everyone is available for Sunday, if he trains well he could well be involved against Arsenal.
"We are still trying to see the positives, we are playing better and we must now must take that into a very important game.
"It is the beginning of a new season for us now, I hope."
