2305: Liverpool survived a massive scare to book their place in the group stages of the Champions League thanks to a Dirk Kuyt strike just three minutes from the end of extra-time of their clash with Standard Liege at Anfield.

After a 0-0 draw in Belgium, the two sides also failed to produce a goal in regulation time at Anfield but with the tie looking destined for penalties after a blank first 27 minutes of extra-time, Kuyt popped up with the decisive goal.

A scoreless draw after 90 minutes traded as high as 20.0 at Betfair with the draw matched at a high of 8.0.

The Reds had traded at a low of 1.18 to win in 90 minutes while a Standard Liege clean sheet touched 12.5.

Liverpool, who have made the semi-finals three times in four years under Rafa Benitez, are general 12/1 shots to lift the trophy for a sixth time after scraping through.

Meanwhile, at the Emirates Stadium, Sami Nasri fired Arsenal on their way to a 4-0 win and 6-0 aggregate success against FC Twente

The Gunners are a top 14s with Sky Bet to be crowned champions.

Last year's finalists Manchester United and Chelsea are joint 11/2 favourites with Betfred ahead of Thursday afternoon's draw.
