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.

  8. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    That is great from Firmino, Wijnaldum and Lallana

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cout* not Firm right?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Firmino also good in the buildup play

  9. walkman666

    Truly fantastic finish by lallana. What a turn of performance by him in this game. Walcott-ish.

  10. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Alexis VERY quiet so far

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not as good as Deulofeu? 🙁

  11. Martial Eriksen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

  12. Deyanski
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

  13. Jay_
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Should be the cracker we anticipated now

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino > Lallana?

      1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Firmino > Gaston Ramirez at this point

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deserved for not starting Xhaka

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oh snap, forgot about him

      2. Martial Eriksen
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Can't see the relevance? Please explain 🙂

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Paid £32m for him, very good at defending and breaking up play.

          Played a lot of preseason and he doesn't start in arguably one of the biggest fixtures of the season

    • Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sublime. That goal is absolutely world class. Undeserved! But world class nonetheless.

    • Marcin the Pole
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Whilst Firmino hasn't scored the way Liverpool are playing bodes well. Having at least one of their midfielders is essential imo.

      1. President Giggs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yup, points are definitely coming Firmino's way

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agree. Pool will not,not score goals.

    • Jay_
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wenger out protest imminent

      • walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Pool are just dangerous. They have a lot of talent. Give them a chance, and they can score....even if they're being outplayed.

      • Krul Runnings
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        6 goals and zilch for my players.

        Cool.

        Rivals having a good day too -_-

        Mourinho - God
        Guardiola - Jesus
        Klopp - Moses
        Wenger - Mr. Bean

        1. Ninja Fury
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

        YES!

      • Eden Azzzar
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If Sanchez does nothing is it worth keeping him

        1. The Finnisher
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Nope. Sell anyone who ever blanks no matter what.

        2. The Donald
          • 9 Years

          Sell immediately obv

        3. Lebowski85
          • 13 Years

          Bring in Mata for -4

      • devils advocate
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Firmino > Coutinho > Lallana.

        Transfers sorted in the last few minutes.

      • The Finnisher
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Alexis is not a striker. Neither is Theo.

        Lacazette scored a hat-trick this afternoon though, he goes okay!

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He played up front against City..... He looked like a fish out of water

      • Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Arsenal need to attack

        Liverpool love to counter 😆

      • itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Firmino goal next!

        1. Shearer & Sutton
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Hope so.

        2. faver

          liar

        With hindsight I'm not sure why I went for Firmino over Coutinho. Hes been largely annonymous whilst Coutinho is now running the show

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Coutinho will still be inconsistent this season

        The kit man really screwed up on the Liverpool shirts. The PL badge is damn near sideways.
