Off the line!

Liverpool inches from the opener as Virgil van Dijk stays up for a corner and meets Trent Alexander-Arnold's whipped cross but David Luiz gets back to clear away just in time.

"Too early to send him off."

Do you think there is something in that?

If that happened in the 35th minute or 68th minute, it would have been red, no?

I'm surprised referee Craig Pawson didn't have another look at that on the pitchside monitor.

Liverpool looking to exert themselves on the opposition with their usual passing maneuvers.

Dragging Arsenal this way and that but the Gunners are holding their shape.

Premier League

Statement just in...

The Premier League can today confirm that between Monday 21 September and Sunday 27 September, 1,595 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, there were 10 new positive tests.

Players or Club staff who have tested positive will self-isolate for a period of ten days.

Liverpool forward Sadio Mane penalised for an arm in the face of Kieran Tierney.

Actually it is a very early booking for the man from Senegal.

Mane pointing to his shoulder, no it wasn't, Sadio.

The collars at the back of the Liverpool shirts are weirding me out.

Don't know whether the players are coming or going.

Who gave the sign off on that design??

YNWA played.

Knees taken.

Away we go.

Arsenal are winless in 27 Premier League away fixtures versus other established top-six teams since a 2-0 triumph at Manchester City in January 2015.

They have conceded 61 goals in those 27 matches, drawing 10 and losing 17.

Which trident is better?

Thumbs up for Bobby-Sadio- Mo.

Thumbs down for Auba-Laca-Will.I.An.

"Turn up the lights in here, baby."

Bit of Kanye at Anfield to get us in the mood.

Not that this needs building up much.

Should be a corker.

Liverpool keeper Alisson is fit after an injury worry but there is disappointment for those who were so impressed with Thiago's debut at Chelsea as he is ruled out with what is described as a "minor fitness issue."

Big night for Arsenal. Plenty of optimism around manager Mikel Arteta's new era after the FA Cup win and two wins from two in the Premier League - but this is currently the ultimate test.

Get something here and Arsenal will really make people sit up and take notice.

Liverpool

Liverpool's 60-match unbeaten league run at home is the third longest in the history of England's top four divisions.

That sequence is behind Chelsea's 86 games (2004-08) and Liverpool's own streak of 63 (1978-80).

Starters done, onto the mains.

All over.

Two wins out of two for Villa.

Three defeats out of three for Fulham, who drop to the bottom of the table.

And even at this early stage, it looks a long way back from there.

Fulham's Aboubakar Kamara and Villa's Tyrone Mings both booked for a coming together.

A stunning save.

Joe Bryan thinks he has a consolation for Fulham, smashing an effort from the edge of the box towards the far top corner but Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez springs high to his left to tip the ball onto the crossbar.

Into the final minute, there'll be no late drama to see here.

Last Villa change.

Douglas Luiz comes off..

*in the voice of Richie Benaud*

Marvelous Nakamba comes on.
