No Reiss either, he's not getting the time, and I'd rather him to come on for Nketamine, hopefully proved wrong!

Rodri and De B on for Citeh side, plus Haaland means need to be on the front foot but avoiding the sucker punch counter.

Oh well >.< CYG!!!!

Saka does not look fit. Game is so nervy.

You'll miss loads of chances, then Man City will score late on or it'll finish 0-0.

Havertz always look poor whenever I watch Arsenal (which isn't that often).

We needed to win, however at least we didn't lose.

Trossard should have played Martinelli in.

Need to win every game from now on I think to win this league now.

Weird one that. Draw against City at theirs is objectively a great result, but it feels like we gave Liverpool control of the title race.

It's going to be tense and it's going to go down to the wire, that's for sure.

Bore fest - both sides. I’m a City fan but they were crap. Shocking game from supposedly two of the best teams in the Premiership.
Crap teams and crap ref, particularly in first half.

I’m happy with a point..how often in the past have we rolled over and outta the game in the first half..I love to see the hard working steely defence side of things..it’s a good sign of things to come..if you can’t win..don’t lose!

Yep, that result has given Liverpool the title now I'm afraid, especially with their better run-in of games.

I’m not so sure. Manure away will be a tough match regardless of their form. We will probably lose at Brighton though.

Don't be absurd. Plenty more twists and turns to come in this season.

If they win, I don't mind. City winning it again would be so tiresome, they've been so dominant for so long.

I know, the media will whip themselves up into frenzied ecstasy if Klopp wins it in his last year, but I think it's hard to argue against the idea that Liverpool have probably deserved more than one title in Klopp's tenure, they've played some incredible football.

Anyway. It's not over until it's over, and Liverpool haven't always been convincing this season. There's still all to play for.

Can't argue with that.

Our defence is not what it was especiallywith key injuries, neither is our attack.

I wish I was as confident as some of the posters on here that it is indeed on it's way back to Anfield.

I was surprised how bad a very near full strength City was today. Arteta should probably take some credit for that too.

Think Arsenal went in to that game with a “we can’t lose this” mentality which is totally understandable. First team to shut out City at home for two or three years I think.

Agree with above comment about Saka not looking fit, with him operating at 70% and Martinelli on the bench we lacked that incisive pace.

Long way to go and whoever wins it will have got close to maximum points from the remaining games. Arsenal probably need to win every game looking at City’s fixtures. If we’d lost today we could have won every game and still not won it…I think that was the most important thing today. Avoid defeat.

That’s a decent result for you and us I think.

All 3 top teams will drop a few points but it’s nice to have a proper competitive chase for the title for a change.

If we don’t win it I hope you do and not City

Happy enough with a draw.

City are more than capable of winning their next 9 which is the scary thing and I still think the winners will still need 90+ points to take the title.

They also have the same points at this point as they did last season and we had less games, and a points advantage. Tall order unfortunately, and 9 games this month is mental.

So only Timber not fit, and he's 1-2 u21 matches from being ready...is Arteta going to pull a Wenger and try and eek out a win with the "reserves" go 2 down then chase the game or go full bore then sub off if comfortable lead (if such a thing is possible v Luton)?

Jesus is rustier than the Titanic, as is Tomi and Partey so half expect them to start.

Only 3 days to Brighton (away), then another 3 to Bayern (home) suggests we need to rotate but not sure the quality beyond regular starting 11 to see out EPL games.
