One showdown that failed to materialise at Emirates Stadium last night was that involving Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
Hicks saw his first game in three months but Gillett failed to make it to north London after his plane was delayed by heavy snow in Colorado.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insisted he had held positive talks Hicks after the 1-1 draw against Arsenal.
"I've seen him [Hicks] and he said, 'Congratulations, well done, good job' — but then I had to come and see you," Benitez told reporters.
The match had threatened to be overshadowed by a visit by the club's pair of feuding American owners after Gillett said they could no longer work together.
Hicks, who has been threatening to block Gillett from selling his stake to a Dubai consortium, watched from the directors' box, where he wore a Liverpool/Arsenal scarf.
