Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool

85 mins: The switch has flicked in the Arsenal heads. Liverpool can’t win the ball back and Arsenal are far sharper in picking up the second balls. Xhaka fouls Thiago as Liverpool eventually get the ball back.

Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool

83 mins: Arsenal have switched to a back five and Jesus suddenly looks a little lost as he comes forward after winning the ball off Thiago. But Arsenal recycle possession and go again – just what they need.

81 mins: It gets a bit ragged in the middle of the pitch, before Nunez is caught offside. Arsenal just need to keep calm and keep control of the ball. This is a huge 15 minutes in Arteta’s reign. Odegaard is replaced by Tierney.

Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool

77 mins: A crazy game – and now Liverpool will have to come from behind for a third time. They win a corner after threatening down the left but nothing comes of it.

But no Salah, no Diaz, no Alexander-Arnold… and with just one sub left to go.

Harvey Elliott comes on for Jota in Liverpool’s final change.

GOAL! Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool (SAKA 76’)

Huge goal! And what a penalty from Saka! He keeps his cool to beat Alisson, who went the right away. But the finish from Saka was too low, too controlled, and Arsenal lead for the third time.

The penalty will be questioned, the defending from Liverpool cannot be.

Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool PENALTY TO ARSENAL!

My word – some of the worst defending you may see. Liverpool had countless chances to clear but the Arsenal pressure continued and Jesus is clipped from behind by Thiago.

Xhaka and Henderson are then separated as the Liverpool captain protested.

72 mins: Close! Liverpool are hanging on. Konate dives in on Odegaard and suddenly Martinelli is in space on the left. He dances inside but can’t find room for the shot, before coming back out to Xhaka. His cross is thrashed away by Konate.

68 mins: This feels like a big chance for Arsenal, not just to win but to put down their statement. Liverpool are again there for the taking.

And now Salah has been taken off for Fabinho, while Konate replaces Matip.

Huge call from Klopp.

Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool

65 mins: Strange. Again. Liverpool suddenly fly forward through Jota, with all four attackers in position. But Jota opts to switch to Salah, rather than slipping in Nunez, and the ball runs out of play.

Fabinho is set to come on for Liverpool.

Arsenal 2-2 Liverpool

63 mins: Strange defending from Liverpool as Thiago and then Van Dijk and then Tsimikas all miss a cross from Tomiyasu. They get away with it as the ball then brushes Saka’s arm before he can control it.

Liverpool are level but they’re back to being shaky. They have not grown from the goal as they did in the first half.
