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

Just days before, the prospect of a historic treble had been a reality.

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
