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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    It's still 0-0

    Performance means nothing

    Benteke has stage fright

    Firmino looks like the new Lamela

    my grandma can defend better than chambers. of course, she's 6foot4, 250.

      oh Mama!

    Best option between:
    A. Mane+Hazard -> Yaya + Pedro/Sanchez (-4)
    B. Merts+Mane -> Kolarov + 8.5M (-4)
    C. Mane -> 8.6M
    D. Merts -> Kolarov

    Can't afford mane to yaya by 0.1, and a bit at a loss of who to bring in for

    Will Kosc lose his place to chambers?

      If Arsene Doesn't want to win the league.

  6. Hic Sunt Leones
    • 12 Years

    Firmino is playing well

  7. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Gotta admit, Lucas is doing a job on Arsenal

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He's our best midfielder, but when he's not 100% fit he's a liability

      1. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        His positioning is on point. Forces some misplaced passing from arsenal

    Arsenal would lose this by an innings were it not for Coquelin and Cech

  9. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Chambers should be playing in the under21 league

  10. Jay_
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Gomez solid so far

    • Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I could do with bellerin scoring. Breadbin knows what I mean

    • ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      Wow

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Liverpool really compact at the back and not letting Arsenal play through at all. Complete opposite can be said for Arsenal at the back.

    • Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      What an effort.

      Thank God he missed.

      10 years, 7 months ago

      Cout. Amazing.

    • Bazzalona
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      2 spaces left in WC team - ramsey plus coutinho OR sanchez plus redmond? Feel first option is more of a dual threat if playing 5 mf but not having sanchez concerns me. As coutinho smashes the post!

    • AverageJoe
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Wow Coutinho is a freak
