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.

    Firmino owners who miss the game and see the score later are going to be so disappointed when they see who was involved

      Hopefully they'll sell just enough to make him a little bit more of a differential but without making his price drop.

    Is the general consensus now that it is important to get Ibra in? Thinking about Tadic and Vardy to Redmond and Ibra.

        Want to wait, but as Ibra's price goes up it becomes more and more difficult to get him in. If he only goes up .1 I'll wait.

    Was gonna pull the trigger on Vardy & Mahrez, to Zlatan & Lamela,

    but on this performance, Mahrez MIGHT have a worldy, to impress Arsenal even more.

    He was total garbage yesterday, hard to justify 9.5m in FF..
