Lovely ball from Gerrard gives Suarez a chance to pull one back. He dinks it over.

Substitution: A. Santos for L. Podolski

Downing gets the ball on the edge of the box...his shot is deflected wide for a corner.

-
67 Min
Substitution: J. Shelvey for N. Sahin
-
65 Min
Lovely play from Sterling down the left...gets a cross in...Downing heads wide at the far post. Those two look the men most likely for Liverpool and while the final ball generally hasn't been good for the hosts today, Joe Allen has been absolutely class. Again.

Now Agger hits one from 40-odd yards...palmed away by Mannone in the Arsenal goal.

@optajoe 39 - Joe Allen completed all 39 of his passes in the first half vs Arsenal, seven of them in the attacking third. Metronome.

SECOND HALF
-
45 Min
@jbcommentator Arsenal deservedly in front, Liverpool got to get to grips more in mifield and be a little more composed upfield. Still wide open this.

HALF-TIME

41 Min
Giroud with a great chance to make it 2-0 after Howard Webb denies Liverpool a penalty at one end...he hits it wide.
-
38 Min
Sterling turns his man in the box and smashes left-footed against the post.
-
37 Min
Sterling runs at Jenkinson for the first time and wins a corner...which is headed behind...Steven Gerrard tries again and it is cleared once more. Liverpool being frustrated.

The first goal could have gone either way. Liverpool's passing in the final third needs to improve.

Dinked ball into the box from Enrique...Suarez tries a looped header but it was never going in.
-
12 Min
@jamespearceecho Suarez far too quick and clever for Mertesacker. Got to keep getting at him. Long time for the German to be on a yellow.
-
10 Min
@petermcdowall10 From a guy who speaks five languages fluently, Nuri Sahin informs me his name is pronounced 'Sha-hin'.
-
9 Min
Good defending from Enrique and now it's his name being sung. Liverpool then break, and the move ends with a dangerous looking whack from Borini that flies narrowly over.
-
8 Min
Chants of 'Shankly' echo around the Kop. It would have been the great man's 99th birthday today.
-
7 Min
Suarez and Sahin both stand over the ball. One left-footed, the other right. It's going to be Suarez...over the bar.
-
6 Min
First Booking: Per Mertesacker: Suarez just made the German look silly with a neat turn. He is then brought down on the edge of the box.
-
5 Min
A misplaced pass allows Liverpool to break...Borini has Gerrard to his right but elects to shoot from distance and his effort smacks the hoardings.
-
1 Min
Here we go. Gerrard and Suarez get things underway, with Liverpool attacking the Anfield Road in this first half.

@1892lfcfan Sub keeper and unfamiliarity in Arsenal attack will suit us today. Sterling v Jenkinson should be good too! No bad shouts Webb!
-
-1 Min
@colohue Both teams play similar styles, with Arsenal more static and us more fluid. It's up to the strikers on this one. 1-0 win.

Nuri Sahin just scored a corker in shooting practice.
