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.

    Cout looks like magic. Thinkni might have found my Depay replacement. He's learnt how to shoot.

    First half analysis for those who haven't been watching.

    First real chance of the game fell to Coutinho, who hit the underside of the bar from close range. Cech had no chance.

    Arsenal then started to dominate with some half chances, until the ball was thread into Ramsey inside the box who finished it well, but was wrongly flagged for offside. Ozil orchestrated some half chances to Giroud and Sanchez but nothing major.

    Liverpool then dominated the rest of the half, Benteke and Coutinho terrorising the centre backs. Coquelin was Arsenals best player by a mile, made so many important tackles and interceptions.

    Benteke was exquisite, running at the defender and creating some real chances. Best chance of the half fell to the Belgian, low cross into the box from Firmino, and Cech made a world class save from close range, yet Benteke should of done better, all he needed was some height on the shot to lift it over Cech.

    Coutinho cut inside and rifled a shot which hit the post, helped on by Cech.
