Last season, “Liverpool” defeated on the “Anfield” “Arsenal” with a score of 5: 1. But since then, things have changed. Of course, the main change was the absence of Luis Suarez, who left to conquer the city of Barcelona. And without Uruguayan striker Club Brendan Rodgers has changed a lot. More and coaching staff of “Liverpool” did not manage to find a way to Mario Balotelli. The Italian, who was supposed to compensate for the loss of Luis Suarez scored in the English club only on major holidays. And before the match with “Arsenal” and he still managed to get the disqualification, unsuccessfully joking in social networks.
But Brendan Rodgers this season have repeatedly resorted to experiment. And this time, the coaching staff, “Liverpool” has decided to resort to the old scheme without nominal forwards. Attacking trio of “red” amounted Markovic, Lallana and Sterling. Rogers also decided to use the scheme with three defenders, which have been run in the cup match with “Bournemouth».
It’s hard to say if it works tactical delights Rogers, but from the first minute “Liverpool” stunned opponent Homepage activity. “Red” immediately including a high speed, and the ball almost did not stay in the middle of the field. Guests had to settle for game number two.

In the tenth minute footballer “Liverpool” got the ball on the approaches to the penalty area and shot into the near top corner, but the ball has not turned Lallana.
At the moment the “Arsenal” looked very shy. Arsene Wenger could not get out of hand pressure the opponent. As a result, Londoners had to practice in a game of “bus”. Arsene Wenger obviously did not like what is happening. And mentor “Gunners” regularly went to the edge of the technical area to bring their anger to the players.
However, although “Liverpool” and had a tangible advantage, but convert it into points owners did not succeed. Only in the end every time keeper “Arsenal” Wojciech Szczęsny had to come into play.

The defeat is clearly not included in the plans “red”. And after that, the hosts went forward a large force. Immediately responded and Brendan Rodgers. Mentor “Liverpool” thrown in Borini and Lambert. But forwards – reservists “Liverpool” has once again disappointed. Lambert was quite noticeable, and Borini healthy start, but in the end only summed up the team. On the 89th and 91st minutes Borini managed to get a yellow card, leaving the hosts in the minority!
But even after such a blow of fate “red” continued the assault. Michael Oliver added to the main game nine minutes. A “Liverpool” in injury time is not left half of the field rival.
