Liverpool looked in danger of being overrun early on but grew in stature and came closest to breaking the deadlock when Conor Bradley struck the crossbar in the first half.

The draw put Arsenal six points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa while Liverpool remain fourth, 14 points adrift despite a nine-game unbeaten league run.
“The second half was a real struggle,” Arteta said. “These games need a magic moment but it didn’t happen. But if you can’t win it then don’t lose it.”
“We have had a very demanding schedule with six games over the Christmas period and we have come out of that in a really strong position.”
