Watch: That’s Offside: Liverpool Vs Arsenal
The Premier League continues this weekend with a number of important games.
Can Manchester United bounce back from their humiliating Carabao Cup exit at Grimsby and get their first win of the season at home to Burnley?
However, in just the third round of fixtures, we have what could be a pivotal match in the race for the title as Liverpool host Arsenal.
These two sides finished first and second last season, for the Gunners, it was the third successive campaign in which they were runners-up.
That's a point made on this week's That's Offside - the fan-led football debate show, which returns ahead of this clash.
Every week, fans from each club from the selected fixture will go head-to-head and face-to-face with each other to discuss the biggest issues surrounding each club.
For those who have watched the first two episodes, this one is not to be missed, as we bring one passionate supporter from the Reds and one from Arsenal to claim bragging rights ahead of Sunday's showdown.
Host Dan Muino is the man in the middle trying to keep order as the two fans try and serve their club with honour and distinction.
This week, @Grizzkhanx is representing the champions, while @LeeJudgesTV is fighting Arsenal's corner.
That’s Offside Hot Takes: Two Fans Go Head-to-Head
Each week, our guests will face off in our high-energy Hot Takes game.
The rules are simple, but the debates are anything but. A wheel spin decides the topic - from player comparisons to club bragging rights, season expectations to hit or miss signings - then the guests have just 90 seconds to argue their case.
Our host will keep the tempo up, but the final verdict on who argued best comes down to you, the viewer.
We want your views, feel free to add them in the comments here, on the show itself and get your voice heard on That’s Offside. The viewers are the debate's VAR process so let us hear you.
In our latest episode, the fans tackled five pregame statements:
- Players: Mohamed Salah will finish with a better Premier League legacy than Thierry Henry.
- Club: Liverpool will beat Arsenal to the Premier League title again this season.
- History: Liverpool's 2018/19 team would beat Arsenal's Invincibles to the league title.
- Managers: Arsene Wenger was a better manager than Jurgen Klopp.
- Players: Patrick Vieira was a more complete midfielder than Steven Gerrard.
Expect passionate opinions, sharp comebacks and a few uncomfortable admissions along the way.
Gameshow Meets Football Chat On That’s Offside
We’re not here for the usual heated debates - we’re bringing some old-school fun to the world of football chat.
After the Hot Takes, the guests go head-to-head in a football-themed gameshow challenge.
This week, we play Higher Or Lower, inspired by the classic ITV show Play Your Cards Right.
Using stats from the Premier League era, our two supporters have to guess whether one player has a higher total than the other in:
- appearances
- assists
- clean sheets
- goals
- yellow cards
The supporter who gets the most answers that appear on the list will be the winner.
It's the perfect way to cool off after a fiercely competitive and heated debate.
