Match facts
Head-to-head:
•Arsenal have lost just one of their last 15 Premier League home matches against Liverpool (W8, D6, L1).
•Matches between Liverpool and Arsenal have produced five hat-tricks - more than any other fixture in Premier League history.
Arsenal
•Arsenal could lose their opening two home matches of a top-flight campaign for only the third time, after 1908-09 and 1949-50.
•They had attempted a league-high 40 shots after the first two rounds of fixtures but their goal conversion rate is only 3%.
•Olivier Giroud's next Premier League appearance will be his 100th. The Frenchman has scored 42 goals in 99 league games for the Gunners - only Thierry Henry (59), Ian Wright (56) and Emmanuel Adebayor (44) scored more in their first 100 league appearances for the club.
•Mesut Ozil misplaced just one of his 55 passes against Crystal Palace and has averaged 3.61 chances created per game in the Premier League in 2015 - a higher ratio than any other player.
Liverpool
•Brendan Rodgers is winless in all four Premier League away matches as a manager against Arsenal (D1, L3). He only avoided defeat when his Liverpool team drew 2-2 in January 2013.
•Martin Skrtel has scored three goals in his last two Premier League games against Arsenal.
•Christian Benteke has scored 12 goals in his last 13 Premier League appearances.
•Simon Mignolet has kept 11 clean sheets in 2015 - more than any other Premier League goalkeeper.

So we've had identical scores with Man United in each game so far. Two tough away games for us though

Great set-up by Brenda tonight. Chambers was your best player, but Coutinho, Milner and Benteke were pretty good.

Happy with a point, Lucas proved his worth tonight. Ibe and Rossiter were abysmal when they came on

Ibe was poor and needs to learn to move the ball as the longer he spends on it the more players he has around him. Use other players to allow you to get past players and one on one when you have a better chance of successfully dribbling the ball.
Not sure how Rossiter annoyed you however as he did his job well, didn't allow them time on the ball and hassled them for the last period of the game when Lucas was knackered having done the same. Definitely a player in there but you do have to worry about his build.

Rossiter come on and done his job superbly

Rossiter did well and is one for the future. Ibe was poor. Pulled out of tackles and generally was lethargic. However he is still young and has shown enough to suggest a bright future
