5. Arsenal 3-4 Liverpool – 2016

Liverpool began the 2016/17 season in stunning fashion as they edged this seven-goal thriller at the Emirates. Philippe Coutinho netted twice, including a trademark free-kick, to give Jurgen Klopps side all three points. It was the start of the Germans first full season in charge and he would have been impressed with the clinical nature in which Liverpool responded to falling behind to a Theo Walcott strike, but concerned by their defensive frailties that day, particularly from Alberto Moreno.Coutinho scored twice as Liverpool beat Arsenal 4-36

2.Arsenal 4-2 Liverpool 2004

Just days before, the prospect of a historic treble had been a reality. Walking out the Higbury tunnel that April afternoon, the match with Liverpool was now their most important of the season.Defeat in the semi-final of the FA Cup against Manchester United was followed by an extra-time loss in the Champions League to Chelsea. All that remained was the Premier League.An early goal from Sami Hyypia and a strike from Michael Owen just before the break looked as if it may add to the woe, but Thierry Henry had other ideas. A memorable hat-trick from the Frenchman, including a fantastic solo effort, lifted the pressure on Arsene Wenger as the Gunners ended the campaign on top and unbeaten.Henry netted a hat-trick to rescue Arsenal6

1.Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal 2009

Andrey Arshavin had a mixed spell during his time at Arsenal. Talented but equally frustrating, the diminutive midfielder moved to north London after an impressive Euro 2008 with Russia. Long after his departure, he is still fondly remembered for the part he played in one of the greatest encounters in the competitions history, in which he incredibly netted all four goals.He opened the scoring on 36 minutes, before Yossi Benayoun and Fernando Torres responded, but the Gunners and Arshavin added two more, only for Torres to net his second. The Gunners thought they had won it in stoppage time when Arshavin grabbed his fourth, but Benayoun salvaged a point.Arshavin scored four times against Arsenal6
