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

    Giroud and Benteke slugging it out for the joke donkey player crown.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐

      Pelle to re-enter the race next week

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      No chance. That one is forever Balotelli's.

      1. Mílanista
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        He would have scored them.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Lol.... he's worse finisher than either of them.

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 7 months ago

            He shoots stupidly from everywhere, hence the terrible conversion. He would have scored the great Benteke and Giroud chances. If he got in the correct position of course...

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 7 months ago

              His penalty area non-penalty conversion rate over some 6 seasons is below 10. That's extremely poor for a striker.

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke has been good

    5. tm245
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Giroud actually did a donkey kick pass about five minutes ago.

    6. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'd love to see them fight.
      Benteke would tear his little French arms off.

    7. Hakuna Juan Mata
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Mane already won the crown on Saturday

    8. Parm

  17. Original Sin

    So is Mert a long term injury?

    1. Jönny
      • 16 Years

      Just ill

    2. ppp
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not so confident on arsenal's defence regardless...
