Arsenal v Liverpool 8pm.

I certainly wouldn't be rushing to back Arsenal at 4/7 or whatever
Not expecting a classic, or goalfest, but not getting involved until the match starts, if at all
The Madrid derby in the Spanish Cup, being played in Dubai, kicks off at 7pm and could definitely be a goalfest and better to watch

(Cue...Arsenal 3-3, Real Madrid 0-0)

i thought arsenal might thrash lpool and slot will be out

even if arsenal win 4-0 (they wont) Slot isnt going anywhere anytime soon.

Liverpool fluked the first game and have been wearing flip flops ever since

Could easily fluke this one too, who knows.

Cannot have Liverpool in current form. Gunners 1.62. Liverpool will be very happy with a draw.

I don't expect a good game or many goals.

Good luck if you play.

Reg. 

Liverpool's current form is unbeaten in their last 8 league games.

boooooooooooooooooooooooring

a popular footballing opinion on games on sky this season

Need Arsenal to score to open the game up a bit.

Pretty predictable stuff so far.

it is like watching paint dry...... every week this season its been game after game like this. unwatchable season

the entertainment industry yawn

Almost like both sides happy with a draw.

As you say, awful for the neutral fan.

According to SL text commentary not one single chance made through 64 mins.  Must be grim.

Gyokeres doesn't seem to have improved much since he was at Cov.

First 20 mins all Arsenal.
second half all Scousers.
Certainly not boring,
Frimpong looks like Deputy Dog

Bradley hit the bar

“I ain’t chasing’ you mushie,ah’m rushing to see the show”!

champions elect have had 24% of the ball and zero shots in the second half at home. says it all about the lge

It says that Liverpool are well on top,imo

what has happend the skelly, he looks 1st div class

Szoboszlai having plenty shots at a goal.

liverpool still havent worked the goal keeper despite that

this is just dull

Raya not had a save to make yet

Arsenal xg 2nd half is zero

areta finally booked. he should have 38 of them a season

Have we inadvertently hit on the remedy for VAR?  Keep every score at 0-0 with no shots on target? 

Deputy Dog rode into town with a bandage on his hand and said,"I'm looking for the man that shot my paw"

quite possibly 2026 has had two of the worse games televised in the history of football

Brentford v spurs and this one

Had enough of football now. Every game I watch is 0-0. Must be 3 or 4 from the last 4/5

They've still varred a few incidents

Liverpool had a decent pelanty shout

Ok, ta.

Rubbish game, is it?. Haven't been watching.

ABBA will be loving it

I disagree.
Two excellent teams cancelling each other out

0-0ft. 6 points clear. Not even famously fragile Arsenal can throw this away now.

Martnelli scum bag

4 added declared, 8 played.

not a Liverpool fan but I would have knocked that scumbags head off 

Last minute shot from arsenal as Gabriel knocks it wide.

They are 2 good teams, but a very poor game

You seem a tad anti Arsenal,Bullet

his scumbag. you dont do that to someone who clearly has done an injury to himself. even threw the ball at him as well - scum bag

Martinelli totally disgusting. Vile stuff

How that isn't a red?

Player in distress on the ground, throws the ball at him then pushes him whilst on the ground. Couldnt have helped the injury.

Bradley then gets stretchered off.

Spare a thought for the punters travelling back to Liverpool after watching this load of petrified looking p!ss…

How many times have we seen a player do ten somersaults,writhe on the floor and then sprint away.
It looked bad though

Turgid, risk averse shíte. Not even 1.0 xG between them. Cowardly approach from Arsenal. Doing the bare minimum to win the league instead of going for the throat.
Lucky that both City and pool have managed to spend half a bil to make themselves worse somehow.

where as arsenal have spent a billion on a project to not have the ball for 1/4 time in the 2nd half or a shot for 45 minutes

state of football these days. really is boring as its become to much a results game then an entertainment brand. no wonder people need to punt on these games to keep it interesting

This was the first 0-0 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League since August 2015. Coming into tonight’s game, there had been 79 goals scored across their last 20 league meetings, at an average of 3.95 per match.

Opta

2 lesser clubs would've been slated for that borefest.

Has Aceform ever made a positive post?

Agreed.  Blocked him years ago.  Adds absolutely nothing to any debate.  Nothing.

Arsenal were not at their best, they looked knackered, particularly in the second half. Liverpool were very good defensively. Arsenal have played six matches in 19 days and Liverpool five matches in same period. Even so, unusual for this fixture to serve up such a drab match. Martinelli needs to come and apologise; Neville saying “someone should give Martinelli a whack" was a pretty stupid comment though...

Sounds like ( I didn’t see it so am admittedly speculating ) a very crass act indeed by Martinelli but feigning injury is now so embedded in the game it is surely easy to misread such an actual injury situation.

I find it baffling how football fans, especially fans of the english game lose their minds over time wasting.
Your team had 90 minutes to score enough goals..
You couldnt do it.
And now you want to keep playing on til your team scores an undeserved winner?

Its kindergarten stuff. Little kids not getting their own way.
All this VAR nonsense has only added to the sense of entitlement.
THe sooner we get back to a standard 3mins of injury time the better.

Current champions v champions in waiting.....an awful advert for the EPL.

I’ve always said you should get 0 points for a 0-0. Now I’ll add in a refund for all fans.

just because youve always said it doesnt mean its sound reasoning.

Lol,keep trying Iron,I’m a stoic individual…..you seem an angry individual…..

It's just one match and a testament to the ridiculous schedule, Arsenal are only 50% of the way through a 14-match sequence in 43 days! The stats suggest the teams cancelled each other out. Liverpool failed to have a shot on target, Arsenal managed four. A game to forget. Martinelli contacted Bradley and apologised for his stupidity. Liverpool players/manager dealt with it well.

A long journey on a cold night for a 0 - 0…..not for me…..Arsenal manager living in fear atm……

teams rarely score more than twice in a match. so even if your team manages to score twice, its 30 seconds x 2 of euphoria for a long journey on a cold night.

You utterly certifiable cretin

The Arsenal manager would go to bed thinking 0 - 0……and waken up thinking 0 - 0…..points dropped….

The fear is written…..

I doubt it. Probably glad to get the match out the way (the conditions were atrocious) and lost no ground to teams directly below.

11.38.     I’ve come to love the way you don’t mince your words.

I think you just love him LH, manlove
