(The Guardian) 34 min: Milner slips a lovely disguised pass behind the Arsenal defence for Keita, who takes a heavy touch but forces a corner out of Arsenal. Oxlade-Chamberlain is subjected to an earbashing from the away fans as he hooks in a corner to the nearpost that Arsenal clear.

its' gonna be one of those nights, huh? (The Guardian) Goal! Liverpool 1-3 Arsenal (Martinelli 36)Oh dear! Liverpool’s inexperienced right-hand side costs them. Williams plays a short pass up to Elliott, who doesn;t look inside as he lays the ball off. Saka nicks it before Gomez can rescue the situation, before racing away down the left and squaring the ball for an unmarked Martinelli to crash home from 10 yards.

(The Guardian) 44 min: Arsenal win a free-kick on the edge of the box after Saka, I think, is fouled. Ozil and Torreira stand over it … and Torreira hammers it over the bar. Ozil should have been on that, surely.

(The Guardian) 45 min: Lallana is caught dawdling on the ball and Arsenal break with Ozil. He slips Martinelli in down the inside-right channel, but the forward’ cross is blocked by Van Den Berg for a corner …
45+1 min: … from which Torreira slams a shot at goal that is blocked. It falls to Martinelli, but he shoulders the ball straight at Kelleher after failing to make contact with his noggin from eight yards out. And we’re not done yet …

(The Guardian) Half-time emails“Kane on the bench? He hung around after VVD removed him from his pocket on Sunday? I jest. In seriousness, I‘m not on board with the idea of not taking the League Cup seriously. For all the brilliant football over the last few years, there haven’t really been any domestic Cup runs from Liverpool. Yes, give youth a chance, and take some of the load off the first team, but go out to win,” writes Matt Dony. ...son of a bitch; Matt Dony and I agree on something!
“Webster, why isn’t the VAR applied?” asks Jukka Itäkylä. “Not that I am missing it, being an Arsenal supporter, you see, but just want to know why.” It’s just not in use at this stage of the League Cup. We should be grateful. We may not have seen two goals but no one can say that the scoreline is not a fair reflection of a rollicking game and we have mercifully been free of lengthy, confusing interruption. It’s like 2017 all over again! That was a crap year but at least VAR didn’t exist in England then.
“In parts of the ol’ US of A we do have ‘mischief night’,” whoops Matt Turner. “It’s called Devil’s Night and the people of Detroit especially embrace it. By trying to burn down their own city every year!” ...works for me...

(The Guardian) 45 min: It’s the second half. Let’s hope it’ as wildly entertaining as the first half was.
46 min: It’s not a good start by Liverpool. Kelleher gives Gomez a short pass that he doesn’t really want – and the Liverpool centre-back hoiks it out of play.

(The Guardian) 47 min: Holding makes a hash of dealing with a high ball and flicks a header back towards Mustafi that the Arsenal defender doesn’t expect. Brewster is switched on and runs on to it, shoving off the Gunnrs defender but then getting the ball stuck under his feet. He’s played in again after laying the ball off to Lallana only to sidefoot wide from 12 yards when the angle was never really on.

(The Guardian) 49 min: Everything about this match is scrappy – but in a great way way. There are flakes of rust coming off the senior pros and overexuberance from the young whelps. The result is a load of errors which makes it feel like anything could happen.

(The Guardian) 51 min: Saka blasts over from 25 yards as Arsenal try to get the upper hand early in the second half. Van Den Berg has looked particularly nervy for Liverpool tonight – and Kelleher has looked a little overawed too. I suppose if Matip were fit Lovren would have played in this. And why Adrian isn’t playing, I don’t know. He’s second-choice now isn’t he and surely needs gametime again should Allison pop a hammy?

....Milner, you country.... (The Guardian) Goal! Liverpool 2-4 Arsenal (Maitland-Niles 54)Well this is unexpected. The ultra-reliable James Milner is to blame. He played a short ball towards Kelleher that Maitland-Niles is alert to, getting to the ball ahead of Kelleher and then almost overrunning it past the goal, only for Ozil to keep the ball in play with a delicious flick back to the Arsenal winger who taps home into the open goal.
