Liverpool 4 - Arsenal 4 Premier League, April 21, 2009 Liverpool looked threatening early doors against an Arsenal side decked out in their replica '89 shirts, Lukasz Fabianski saved well from Torres just before the twenty minute mark. Ten minutes before the break Mascherano paid a heavy price for being caught in possession, Nasri played in Fabregas who squared the ball for Andrei Arshavin to finish off the bar to put the Gunners into the lead. Liverpool came storming out the blocks in the second half, Fernando Torres headed in the equaliser on 48 from a Kuyt cross after Sagna failed to clear and the turnaround was completed on 55 when another ball from Kuyt on the right was headed over the line by a brave diving header from Yossi Benayoun. Ten minutes later it was 2-2, Andrei Arshavin nicked the ball in front of Arbeloa and the Russian schemer fired a cracker into the far corner. Three minutes later and Arsenal took the lead, Aurelio the defender at fault this time, presenting Arshavin with an easy chance to complete his hat-trick. Two minutes later it was 3-3, Fernando Torres turning Silvestre to level the game yet again. An incredible match still had two late goals to lend it legendary status, first Arshavin bagged his fourth after good work by Walcott only for Liverpool to equalise in injury-time with a close-range effort from Benayoun.

Shakhtar Donetsk 2 - Marseille 0 UEFA Cup, April 9, 2009 Tomas Hubschman had two bites of the cherry and put Shakhtar in front at home to Marseille four minutes before half-time. Jadson doubled the lead midway through the second half.

RCB have not yet found their best combination, so a number of changes are expected. KKR on the other hand made just one forced change in their last outing, but will be back with their preferred playing 11.

Though MI are the in-form team as well, playing at Chepauk is no easy task. The slowness of the wicket will be vastly different to the flat deck found at Wankhede, and adjusting to the low bounce will be critical..

SRH and Kings XI Punjab both go into this game with losses on the trot, and will be eager to turn their season around. SRH have suffered with the loss of aggressive opener Jonny Bairstow who has returned for international duty, and have notched up just two wins in their last seven games after starting off on a high.

The match prediction goes in favour of the visiting team as they are the in-form team and have more experienced and consistent batters along with bowlers.

Delhi have struggled on sluggish wickets - their record at the Kotla this season reaffirms that. They will find it tough against a rampaging CSK unit, and if Dhoni returns, they might be under more pressure. The match prediction then is skewed in favour of the home team.
