Englishman Bukayo Saka loves playing against the Reds as he sweeps past Kerkez who has his hands full tonight. A great chance but Liverpool defend well to keep out the Gunners.

Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool 38'
After the possession that Gunners have had, Mikel Arteta will be unhappy how things have panned out. Remember, Arsenal remained 0-0 against Villa and then smashed up the Villains in the 2nd half. Will that happen soon?
