Houllier warns on wounded Gunners

GERARD HOULLIER has warned Champions League chasing Liverpool they face a wounded animal when they confront the Premiership leaders Arsenal today at Highbury.

The Gunners have seen two legs of their hoped for treble disappear in the space of four days after losing to Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals and Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals.

And if Liverpool are to hit Arsenal’s title chances Houllier believes his players must stand up to what he expects to be a ferocious physical challenge from Arsene Wenger’s side.
