Liverpool v Arsenal - Premier League

Martin Zubimendi (DM) - 6/10 - Was guilty of committing a few fouls, including the free kick that resulted in Liverpool's winner. Picked up a yellow card for the offence.

Declan Rice (CM) - 7/10 - Caused problems with his out-swinging corners and looked to help his side get up the pitch with some good moves from midfield. Couldn't make the difference however.

Mikel Merino (CM) - 6/10 - Didn't offer too much, but did look to play a slightly advanced role, especially when his side were out of possession. Won the odd duel, but also lost a few. Replaced with 20 minutes remaining.
