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.

    Ramsey scored. Flukey Liverpool once again.

    1. CoutinYo

      Yeah did you catch the first half? Cech was the only thing keeping them from being down 2 goals.

      1. Tabasco
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I did actually, did you catch the second? You deserved to lose I'm afraid.

        1. CoutinYo
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          I guess that's how another pair of eyes sees it. You had a goal disallowed in the first and we hit the post twice and created way more chances in total. I thought a draw was pretty fair.

  13. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

  14. hobocopter
    • 12 Years

  15. tm245

    Watching Arsenal try to walk in a goal is brutal.

      Ludicrous display.

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

      Clyne is a good FPL pick

  18. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years

    Arsenal and United lost ground. City will be delighted.

  19. HVT

    30 epl games so far and only 6 home wins.

        Hopefully law of averages kick in next week I've got 10 at home

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 11 Years

          In FPL, "law of averages" is up there with "he's due" and rarely holds up especially this early in the season. I'm craving some sense of normality. The quote about the dark sense of probability was meant for 1 gameweek not 3 and it's frustrating that guys who you won't chase last week's points from, are still scoring mega ppm. Still haven't broke 100 this season.

          This is my 5th season.

          1, 300k ish
          2. Top 5k
          3. 250k ish
          4. Top 1.7k
          5. Currently outside top 1.5m

          I put 1. down to inexperience and 3 down to a bad season before. Right now I'm thinking more I'm clueless and got lucky in 2 and 4. Just played my WC tonight and I feeling no better.

    2. Red Devil Swede

      At least Cech gets the 3 baps!

      1. Nobodinho

        😀

    3. Butthead

      I'm impressed my team did well defensively. Maybe Rodgers isn't the total donut I thought?

    4. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      As a Benteke and Ramsey owner, this is just unfair.

    5. Saint & Reevesy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Started today 10pts clear but that's, 3-0 in my HTH league......

    6. Teahupo'o

      Score check? 49 all out.

      6 points, Sanchez & Westwood (for Kos). I imagine those with double Liverpool defense are happy. I don't know too many with double Arsenal defense that does not include Kos or Mert, but maybe they exist?

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

      Feels good not to have Sanchez. Chamberlain should be playing, a real spark in the last 10 mins.

    9. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      3 gameweeks, no goals scored yet...

    10. DV8R

      Who to sell for Kolarov (-4)?

      A) Kos
      B) Cedric
      C) Coates

      1. Nobodinho
        • 11 Years

        Are Liverpool just copying United's results? Don't do it, it's a road to nowhere.
