Liverpool v Arsenal: Roy Hodgson's new club face a tough start to their new Premier League campaign in the form of Arsenal; the Reds have won only three of their last 18 Premier League games against the Gunners
Hodgson's new signing Christian Poulsen sits in the stands but debutantes Joe Cole and Serbian international Milan Jovanovic both start for the Reds
Andrey Arshavin starts upfront for Arsenal, and will be hoping to emulate his four goals at Anfield two seasons ago; his strike partner is newcomer Marouane Chamakh, signed from Bordeaux in the summer
Chamakh has a weak claim for a penalty turned down by referee Martin Atkinson after going down in the Liverpool box under pressure from Jamie Carragher, half an hour into a first half light on goal chances
Joe Cole marks his Anfield debut with a straight red card right before the interval, earned for a careless lunge on Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny and served with no hesitation from referee Martin Atkinson
David Ngog lifts the spirits of the Anfield faithful by scoring a minute into the second half, running onto Javier Mascherano's pass to lash the ball past keeper Manuel Almunia at the near post
Arsenal enjoy the better of the possession but struggle to make it count, until Pepe Reina drops a hopeful punt from Tomas Rosicky; Chamakh's bundled effort pings off the post straight to Reina, who pushes it into the net
Arsenal fans are still celebrating the unlikely equaliser when Atkinson gives Koscielny a second yellow for handball, and the Frenchman heads for the tunnel 30 seconds before the final whistle
