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

    Just to clarify if your first sub did not play would a sub that did play come on? I know that formation must be correct (3 defenders) but could my 3rd sub come on if only playing defender this week (Merts being in my first 11 and not playing and first defender sub Mings). Cheers.

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. 3rd sub will score

      1. crushro
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        cheers, I thought initially Lens would come on and would give me his assist and then realised about the formation and then thought would get nothing - now get Targett - finally get some luck :o)

    How's Sanchez playing? Need a good night from him, everyone else in my leagues has three in this game, I'm the only one with Sanchez.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 14 Years

  11. Sheep Flavour
    • 14 Years

  12. Bodie

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal have lost the ability to pass

  15. Essrick
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can't watch the match tonight. Anyone be kind enough to let me know how well Ozil is playing?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Had a decent chance but it got away from him, and should have had an assist for a goal incorrectly disallowed.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Thought it was Cazorla who set that up?

      2. Essrick
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks. I heard Caz played that pass through to Rambo?

    Arsenals worst centre back pairing since squillaci and djorou started together

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

      Remember cyan and senderos... Did they ever play in the same team?

  19. SW6
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    The biggest threat to Arsenals goal is their own defence.

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Fun fact: First time Lovern has ever played vs Arsenal

    1. 4vets

    So is Kolarov nailed on for City nowadays? Got 5.6M to spend on a solid defender, and it's either him or Shaw.

    Like Citys fixtures more, and he's more offensive and on the occasional free kick

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He's not nailed on.

  22. Would an idiot do that?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Yeah both defences look rock solid

  23. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke and Skrtel are the only Liverpool players who would get into Man U's team imo.

    1. TK74
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne and Coutinho

    Bad time, I know. But:

    Which option?

    A) Shaqiri and Benteke
    B) Pedro and Diouf

  27. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Baffled that no big club got Benteke...

    1. The Machine
