    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    Four of the last six league meetings in north London have ended in draws, with one win apiece. Arsenal scored twice inside three minutes through Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott to earn a draw from 2-0 down in the corresponding fixture last January.

    Liverpool's only win in their last 12 league games against Arsenal came at the Emirates Stadium in August 2011. An Aaron Ramsey own goal and Luis Suarez strike gave Liverpool their only win at Arsenal in the last 13 years.

    This is the 215th meeting between the clubs in all competitions. Liverpool lead by 82 wins to Arsenal's 76.

    Arsenal

    The Gunners have earned 22 points out of the last available 24.

    They are the only team to score in each of their Premier League matches this season.

    Arsene Wenger's side have taken the lead in eight of their nine league fixtures, the best record in the division.

    November is Arsenal's least productive month in Premier League history - they average only 1.55 points per game.

    Aaron Ramsey has five goals and three assists in his last six league appearances.

    Liverpool

    Liverpool's tally of 20 points after nine games represents their best Premier League start since 2008. They have double the number of points they had at this stage last season.

    The Reds have conceded in each of their last six league games, having started the season with three successive clean sheets.

    They have hit the woodwork a league-high eight times this season.

    Daniel Sturridge has scored 14 goals in his last 14 league appearances.

    Luis Suarez has scored six goals in four league games since returning from suspension.

    Simon Mignolet will make his 100th Premier League appearance. He has kept 33 clean sheets.

    I dunno. I'd have played Rosicky over him today irregardless. It'll hurt our bench for sure.

    Rosicky's playing well imo, very skillful player who can link up with Cazorla and Ozil and unlock a team.

    He's in better form, and is better on the wing than Wilshere is

    If Newcastle hang on a win for us or Arsenal is going to be an even better result.

    Can't see them shipping 3 now!

    With 1 or possibly both of Spurs & Everton dropping points as well could possibly open up 3 or 4 point gap on the realistic top 4 rivals.

    Flanagan starting as wing back. Wow, I'm not watching anymore <laugh>

    Johnson must be injured. I think we should've played a back four and just shifted Toure over to right back but we'll see how we've done after the game. Either that or just play Kelly??
