Hints Below:
I'm pretty confident about this match. I don't think Liverpool have improved much from last season and with the new way that Rodgers is trying to get them playing should play right into our hands. Arsenal rarely struggle against teams who come to play, which is why Arsenal away record has been very good in the past few seasons.
A few positive statistics below to backup my selection -
Arsenal have conceded the fewest shots in the Premier League and the 3rd fewest in Europe.
Arsenal have also had the most shots per game in the Premier League and only one team in Europe has had more shots per game.
Premier League points won since 1st Feb 2012:
1) Man City - 42 (W13 D3 L2)
2) Man United - 38 (W12 D2 L3)
3) Arsenal - 36 (W10 D6 L2)

17) Liverpool - 14 (W4 D3 L10!)
If Arsenal fail to score in the 1st half today they'll beat thier PL record of 224 mins without a goal set last season (Robin Van Persie)..
