Houllier faces 'make or break' Gunners clash

The French manager, speaking in the aftermath of a bitterly disappointing 3-2 defeat at struggling Charlton, revealed that Arsene Wenger's in-form team will offer a crucial challenge to the attacking development made by the Reds in recent weeks.

Houllier said: "Arsenal next is a big test because we are some points behind them now so it will be make or break, and the boys know it - they know they have to respond to today."
