The Dugout Discussion – Monday

2,174 Comments

We head to the Emirates this evening as Gameweek 3 comes to its conclusion with a head-to-head between two of last season’s top six. Despite scoring just twice so far, Arsenal have offered a significant threat in the final third – although they’ve played only two matches, Arsene Wenger’s side still sit joint-top for shots inside the box, firing 32 close-range attempts.

Liverpool arrive in London in impressive defensive form, though. The Reds have registered back-to-back shut-puts this season and chalked up eight clean sheets away from home in 2014/15 – joint-top with West Brom. With three very favourable home fixtures in the following four, Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Merseysiders’ main men at both ends of the pitch.

Given that Arsenal are missing both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker, Christian Benteke owners will be hopeful of another goal for the Belgian, after he opened his account against Bournemouth last Monday evening.

      Oh wait, he has Morgan on, played just 3 defenders. Phew...could've been worse, still around twenty points behind with Clyne and Cech cleanies for him.
