You make my day Paul Arsenal vs Liverpool, Saturday 5.30pm I can't see anything but a Liverpool win. I think this is the day Arsenal show some big cracks. I just think the defence is terrible, all over the place, and no different to what it was before. If Hector Bellerin is injured, you're talking about Granit Xhaka at left-back, a central midfield player, and Stephan Lichtsteiner at right-back, who has been a good player but is nearly 35 now.

Leicester's front three aren't even in the same class as Liverpool's. I just cannot see how Arsenal will live with them. People will say: 'Oh Arsenal will score goals...' but Liverpool's defence has been superb. I watched Arsenal win 11 games on the trot, and they could have easily lost four of them, let alone drawn them. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 (14/1 with Sky Bet)
LAWRO HAS GONE FOR AWAY WIN TOO LOO ! Arsenal v Liverpool (17:30 GMT) Both of these teams look dangerous when they come forward but at the back Liverpool are stronger, and they look a much better all-round team than they did 12 months ago. Arsenal still have something of a soft centre, and the opposition always seems to create chances against them - which is asking for trouble against Liverpool. The Gunners won 11 games in a row before they drew at Crystal Palace on Sunday but they have not played a top side since they lost to Manchester City and Chelsea at the start of the season. I think Liverpool will have a little bit too much for them but, even if Arsenal do lose, this has still been a very encouraging start by their new manager Unai Emery. Lawro's prediction: 1-2 BMTH's prediction: 3-2
