....first blood drawn by Liverpool! (The Guardian) Goal! Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal (Mustafi OG 5)Oh Arsenal! Williams plays a simple ball down the line to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who plays a low cross to the near-post that Mustafi puts into his own net. He slid in and lost all control when he could have stayed on his feet. liverpool scarf-1

(The Guardian) 7 min: If you’re looking for mitigating circumstances, I suppose you could say that Brewster was lurking behind Mustafi, but it was a clumsy attempt to clear with his right foot, a kick and a miss that meant the ball clattered his left knee and went in at Martinez’s near post.

(The Guardian) 9 min: Liverpool are enjoying the better of the possession and continue to look the sharper side. Lallana scoops a lovely ball over the Arsenal defence that Oxlade-Chamberlain fails to control when he had only the keeper to beat.

(The Guardian) 12 min: Bellerin has had a few decent bursts down the right hand-side for Arsenal, where Maitland-Niles also looks determined to make a point but Milner will be a tough opponent to get past on that side, assisted by Keita. It may be on the left, where Saka is up against Williams, where Arsenal might find some joy.

(The Guardian) 13 min: Oxlade-Chamberlain pings a lovely cross-field pass to Origi, on the left. The forward takes a touch, and lofts a neat ball to the back post, that Arsenal defend well.

(The Guardian) 15 min: It appears I’ve been up to mischief with my Mizzy Night missive. “Oh Webster... you trample on Yorkshire culture,” sighs Rebecca Smith. “Mischief night is the 4 November! Celebrated for when Guy Fawkes (one of Yorkshire’s own) and crew were plotting their mischief for parliament. I have fond memories of putting black treacle on doorknobs in Leeds in the late ‘70s. I have never commented on the live blog before, but couldn’t let this pass.” Fair enough Rebecca. So Yorkshire is right and everywhere else is wrong or just importing American culture? Maitland-Niles has just zipped a cross into the near-post that cause mild panic in the Liverpool ranks but Van Den Berg cleared eventually.

...well, no clean sheet tonight, folks... (The Guardian) Goal! Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal (Torreira 19)Arsenal are level! It came after Martinelli battled gamely down the left and squared to Saka, who forced a smart save out of Kelleher, but from the rebound Torreira tapped home. Liverpool’s defenders appeal for offside but he was just level. Game on!

(The Guardian) 20 min: In a surefire sign that this game is going to be a lot of fun, Liverpool race straight back up the other end, where Origi pops a clever pass inside Maitland-Niles towards Brewster who just needs to stick his toe out a few more inches to get a free shot on goal from wight yards. Arsenal break …
21 min: … but Liverpool win back possession after Ozil’s attempt to split the Liverpool defence with a reverse pass is cut out. The German playmaker is finding a few more pockets of space now and dragging Liverpool out of shape.

(The Guardian) 23 min: “Given it’s Mizzy Night with all that egg and flour around, let’s ‘ope Arsenal don’t get battered,” honks Chris Brock. It’s not happening at the moment, Chris. This is shaping up to be a ding-dong battle between reserves.

...well, that sucks... (The Guardian) Goal! Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal (Martinelli 26)The Gunners are in front! And it’s Martinelli’s sixth goal of the season! Torreira sends a short free-kick out to Maitland-Niles, who sees his first cross blocked by Milner but then picks up possession again and ghosts past Origi far too easily to drill a low cross at the near post. Van Den Berg makes a block and then Martinelli smashes the ball high into the roof of the net from a yard out.

(The Guardian) 29 min: There is no VAR tonight. Had there been, Torreira’s first goal would have been chalked off. A replay shows that Torreira’s heel was offside when Saka shot at goal. Not that anyone should be complaining. It’s a blessed relief not to have the VAR breaking up the lovely ebb and flow of this game.

(The Guardian) 31 min: Both defences look likely to be breached a few more times before the night is out. They look far from assured. Elliott crosses to Brewster, who does well to flick a header at goal having sneaked between Mustafi and Holding.
