Win Premier League: Arsenal 3 - 2 Liverpool | Sunday 9th, October | KO: 16:30 BST | Sky Sports

This is a big one. Liverpool are very vulnerable but they still have the tools to hurt us. The fact that most pundits are predicting us to win gets me scared.

Injury updates

Andrew Robertson
Andrew Robertson has missed Liverpool's last three matches in all competitions since he picked up a knee injury during the 4-1 defeat against Napoli in the Champions League.

Klopp has confirmed that the Scottish left-back has returned to the training pitch and he could be in contention to feature this weekend.

Naby Keita

Naby Keita is yet to feature for Liverpool this season due to a thigh injury, but Klopp has said that the midfielder may return at some stage this month.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also yet to play for the Reds this term, but he is expected to return to the squad at some point this month, although Sunday's game may come too soon for the former Arsenal man.

It was never pick one or the other...



...it was both

The team spirit seems to be immense. Really likeable young team. What a difference from just a few years ago!

Look at Thiago

 

[Riou]

@GDeep™ and the boys had the last laugh

@GDeep™ absolutely rocking those glasses on the far left there, what a legend!

We don’t know the nature of what was said, people are assuming it was a racial thing.

Read somewhere it's related to yellow box. No idea if true though, conflicting reports until now

Why would Henderson say something to Gabriel about yellow box man? I’ve seen Liverpool fans trying to create that narrative to paint Henderson as some kind of hero here.

 

[DUFFMAN]

It is really hard to tell though. I couldn't see until I watched it a couple of times and the ball actually slightly changes direct when it touches his chest.

Sky showed one angle from ten where you can see it hits his chest first.

This is me today! Ruling it pure!

It actually could be about the yellow box, when you think about it.

That would explain why Arteta and Klopp both said they couldn't comment on it after the game, they didn't want to get their AM accounts suspended.

Another aspect overlooked in yesterdays result, is that in terms of winning a CL spot, the win was "effectively 6 points" in the race between Arsenal and Liverpool for one of the coveted spots.

For the last few years, losing home and away to Liverpool meant Liverpool winning 6 more points than Arsenal. Even if you now lose the Anfield game, the aggregate points = 0, rather than -6

Arsenal won 2 points out of 3, in the 35 games after the 3 losses at the beginning of the season last year. Even in a season where we lost 10 further games after that.

If they only match that form for the rest of this season from here on in... 29 games left, they'd be picking up another 58 points, plus the 24 already, finishing on 82, which will be more than enough.

Of course I don't want to lose anything like the number of points we lost stupidly last year.. but right now, we're in a pretty good place

 

[CaseUteinberger]

but right now, we're in a pretty good place

The absolute best we could be is an additional 3 points. We already have a 9 point gap to 5th place. Excellent going.

Look at Thiago

He always wear the most awesome football boots. He used to train with old Predator

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Hard not to love these boys! And Peter Drury is just a fantastic commentator. "Such poise, such noise!"

Don't know but it doesn't seem far fetched, the reactions from everyone on both teams definitely didn't look like there was any racial slur or anything like it used. Firmino didn't defend Henderson, Xhaka just gave him a stare but didn't really step to him etc

 

[Riou]

Why would Arsenal report it, if it was something about the yellow box though?

I assume no one at the club would want to get involved with that stuff, until after it's sorted in court... surely the club wouldn't want to draw even more attention to it.

 

[Riou]

Best thing about this win, Liverpool played well but we still beat them...we even forced them to try and go defensive at 2-2 and Klopp tried to settle for a point, but we gave everything so they went home with zero.

Depending on what we achieve in the next few years, this could be our breakthrough moment with this squad.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Probably a dumb question but what is the yellow box???
