PENALTY TO ARSENAL!

26'

Quiet so far for LFC's new boys...

25'

Mr Fowler unimpressed by that yellow for Lallana.

Lallana booked.

The free kick comes to nothing for Liverpool. We've had very little in terms of actual chances. Some Reds fans on Twitter already calling for Origi!

24'

Firmino collects a pass on the right of the area and volleys a low attempt towards goal that Mane is inches away from diverting into the net. The ball rolls to the left flank where Walcott gives away a free kick. Better form the visitors.

23'

Henderson seizes possession deep in Gunners territory and teases a ball to the far post where Firmino can't collect to get a shot away. Best moment so far for the Merseysiders.

22'

Walcott left frustrated as Arsenal waste a decent opening to stretch the4 LFc defence. The forward has space to run into but Ramsey opts to attempt a lob from 40 yards that sails harmlessly over the bar.

21'

Arsenal's fledgling centre back pairing have had littl3e to do so far. Klopp won't be happy his side have failed to get at them.

20'

A flowing Gunners move on the right comes to a screeching halt as Sanchez's return pass towards Walcott is overhit. Unlucky for the home side who continue to look the better side.

19'

Mane trying to carve out an opening in the Arsenal box. He is outnumbered and calls for a spot kick as his attempted cross is blocked. There's nothing in it at all and the hosts eventually move it clear.

18'

Arsenal fans have been crying out for a striker for some time now - what about this chap?

17'

OPENING DAY PREVIOUS: The two teams have met seven times before on the opening weekend. Liverpool have won four and lost one.

16'

Liverpool struggling to get anywhere near Arsenal's area at this point.

15'

Arsenal float a free kick into a dangerous area but Klavan rises well to thump a dominant header clear.

14'

Moreno makes up for a woeful defensive header by racing across to deny Ramsey on the left of the area. Mignolet comes and punches the resulting corner to safety.

13'

Clyne lets fly from distance but Cech is down well to make a routine stop.

12'

Not much to shout about for the visitors in attack so far. Arsenal shading it thus far.
