A fantastic Liverpool performance against Arsenal has, in the eyes of the mainstream media become a story about Arsenal rather than one about the Mighty Reds. Not on The Anfield Wrap. Here we wax lyrical about Jurgen Klopp's side and their dominance over their North London opponents in all areas of the pitch.

The front three get their deserved praise but the back line and midfield won their battles. It was a team performance from the side and one which announced themselves as genuine contenders for this season's title.

Joining Neil Atkinson are Rob Gutmann, Philippa Smallwood and Dan Morgan to talk about the outstanding display of the season so far.

Liverpool take on Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday knowing that a win would top off a successful first month to the Reds campaign.

But failure to claim three points will again put the focus firmly back on Liverpool's transfer activity.

Having already seen the best and worst of Arsene's charges, storming back from behind against Leicester on the opening weekend of the season to meekly surrendering away to Stoke, which version of Wenger's Arsenal can we expect?

Joining Neil Atkinson this week to contemplate the if's and to chat about Liverpool's Champions League progress this week are Gareth Roberts, John Gibbons and Adam Melia.

Actual print outs.

What else? Lizzo's social media game, the Cavern and what your weekend was all about. Text in as ever.
