Arsenal and Liverpool playing a draw is no surprise at all. Because Liverpool aren't in the best of shape many people expected Arsenal to win. The big teams are always big teams whenever they meat regardless of form or quality of players. They play for plight and they entertain caution. Most importantly, they have tremendous respect for each other. That'd what we witnessed. Liverpool trying to survive the best in the country at the moment, Arsenal taking caution not to underestimate their guests. Respect. Not an interesting game but that's how it is. It was meant to be a lackluster midweek. It happened to them all - City, Aston Villa, Chelsea... The weekend will be different.

Don't boast with Arsenal to win EPL until the last game....yeyerity is worrying Arsenal and you don't give assurance for Arsenal winning EPL...why not boast of Arsenal winning other cup
Arsenal actually have the squad to that this time around, the only draw back might be Arteta, he been too cautious in some games they are suppose to play flamboyantly, because Arsenal have the squad to keep possession now, but rather Arteta will instruct them to play in a timid way!

This is the same pride that has made your team trophyless for years now. If other teams have no injuries and coaching headache, you think Arsenal will be anywhere close to topping the EPL in January. 16 games to go
This has nothing to do with pride, am saying this based on the foundation that Arsenal has put in place for like three to four seasons now, Arsenal now have the foundation in place, the next step how to bring in the first major trophy, and there after everything will be express, cos the foundation is already in place! Guadiola is clever coach, he understand what Arteta has been doing over the years, how many teams can come out and say they will play or deprived city of the ball, Arsenal did that against city in their first meeting this season, though the game ended 1:1

Liverpool players played one of the best game, against Arsenal. I think Bradley’s injury is due to too much strain on him. Slot should have replayed him at 60th minute with Gomez who is very reliable. That could have saved him.
