The Gameweek rolls on with a showpiece fixture at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal host Liverpool in the tea-time encounter with a host of Fantasy talent on show.

On paper, this could be a tight and cagey affair but Arsenal’s injuries at the back may just prompt both sides to go on the offensive.

Certainly Jurgen Klopp has named an attacking line-up, spearheaded by Roberto Firmino and supported by new signing Sadio Mane and the guile of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana.

That quartet with surely stretch the Gunners backline with Wenger forced to start with a pairing of Calum Chambers and new signing Rob Holding.

Wenger will look to Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott to provide a response at the other end, with Aaron Ramsey set to start in the number ten role in the absence of Mesut Ozil.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Walcott a year late with that GW1 Goal. We all had him at the start last year 🙂

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  2. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Siggy to Iwobi?

  3. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Clyne is slowing down so many attacks.

  4. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Holding going to pair with Kos until Mertesacker comes back?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If Mustafi isn't coming

  5. Rusty Nail
    • 10 Years

  6. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years

  9. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Please Liverpool score.
    Arsenal def. ownership about 60%...

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Henderson to score

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Everyone has Bellerin surely?

      1. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        yep, more than 30%

      2. Rath
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Every casual has.

    3. dykeypunk

      Ask and you shall receive

  10. Leaf

    Lovren sees Moreno's awful tackle and raises it

  11. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Last call for any other Walcott owners? 🙂

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Here!

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years

      Here!!! 😀

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Liverpool are shocking

  13. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    And I actually thought Liverpool could challenge them

  14. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez will score this.

  15. walkman666

    Good opportunity for Arsenal here. Another lallana mistake led to turnover.

  16. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool have far too many attacking players on the field. And Lallana is dreadful to boot

  17. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Will Siggy do anything vs Burnley in your opinion?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He didn't

      1. Rusty Nail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Haha

  18. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Why didn't Cazorla start?

    1. zag
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Less defensive security and fitness than Coq and Elneny

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not 100% yet and Wenger went defensive with two CDMs.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks Both

    3. The Road to Turfdom
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Apparently still coming back to 100% fitness. Personally, I think AW wanted a defensively stronger double-pivot to shield Holding and Chambers.

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

    WTF did Klavan do on the goal? Let Ramsey run offside and cover the space. Moreno is a head less chicken we all know that but Klavan looks like a new Skrtl.

    He lets the finish thru his legs too, poor defending.

    Well, after a great first day I'm having a shocker today.

    Firmino looks garbage, and worried it'll be the Hazard of last year.

        Are you joking? Its not very offensive is it?

  25. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    As bad as Liverpool are they're only 1 goal down

    Could be a whole lot worse and definitely something to take from the 2nd half if Klopp can make them see that

  26. TheSteel
