Arsenal v Leicester: Premier League – live!
LIVE – Updated at 16:42
A big game in Arsenal’s chase for next season’s Champions League. Tumaini Carayol has the latest.
After a brilliant start from Arsenal yields an early corner, Martinelli whips in an excellent delivery that Partey confidently heads in for his second goal of the season .
8 min: Martinelli is already making himself a nuisance here. This time, he is released inside the box by a slick pass from Odegaard. However, Schmeichel was equal to his finish and then he was ruled offside.
6 min: After patiently building from the back for the past few minutes, Arsenal create some danger through a great pass by Tierney to Martinelli on the left. Martinelli runs at Pereira before the ball goes out for a corner. A few penalty appeals, but nothing major.
3 min: While Arsenal have had possession for most of the first two minutes, Leicester have already demonstrated their intentions with some high octane pressing out of the gate. A panicked pass from the Arsenal defence turns over the ball. Otherwise, a quiet start.
1 min: Arsenal kick off.
Both teams are on the pitch at the Emirates. We are minutes away.
Brendan Rodgers on Sky Sports:
“Mikel’s done fantastic after a difficult start. They have that cohesion now and players that can make a difference. It’s a real challenge but we came here last year and won.”
Afternoon, lads!
