Think there's a lack of experience in the squad personally so is difficult to see a title challenge when you consider that really. Chelsea and Liverpool have great opportunities though with less games because of no Europe.
1. We create loads of chances but end up losing 2-1 2. We batter them 5-0
That sounds like the Liverpool I know!!!
We don't have a good record against Arsenal really, especially not at the Emirates. One of their players will randomly go on a mad one (like Mata tends to do when we play United).
One thing I do love is how many players we have on the pitch who can score. Coutinho from long range with Mané, Firmino, Origi and even Wijnaldum with decent stats. I do like Lallana but although he's never struggled to create chances, he's struggled to score them himself.
Best chance we'll have in a while to beat them considering their injury problems and other players late back from pre-season.
I agree, it's just the venue is much big of a difference than you might think.
Arsenal always seem to perform against us, although I agree that if we play to our potential, we'll win. This is the kind of inconsistency we need to eliminate from our game - a good performance and a win here is much more than 3 points.
Like I said, with it being Arsenal away though, I'd take a draw.
Interesting to see Henderson and Wijnaldum both ahead of Can.
Origi on the bench is good; we press hard in the first half with Lallana and Co, then bring Origi on in the second half with his pace against tired/inexperienced legs.

Can is probably not up to speed yet since he only joined the squad a few weeks ago, I also heard rumours he had a dead leg last night. Once he regains his fitness he will no doubt be one of the first on the team sheet.
