manchester city vs arsenal

We pull one back as Holding finishes smartly inside the area after being teed up by Trossard

Almost an instant impact from our subs - Nelson breezes through the middle before finding Nketiah, whose left-wing cross-shot whistles wide

We're awarded a free-kick just outside the box. Saka steps up and curls it narrowly over the bar

De Bruyne exchanges passes with Haaland before slotting his shot past Ramsdale

Another excellent save from Ramsdale to deny Haaland. The hosts' No 9 bustles his way clean through on goal but sees his shot knocked away by our goalkeeper

Xhaka received the ball 20 yards from goal and tests Ederson with his side-footed effort

We're back underway at Etihad Stadium - let's get back into this, Arsenal! 

VAR is taking a look at this - and the goal is going to stand

Stones rises highest to head in De Bruyne's free-kick - but he's flagged offside and the goal is disallowed

Ramsdale once more! Haaland's effort from close range is somehow diverted away by the feet of our No 1

Well played, Rob - Grealish races into the penalty area but Holding gets across to clear with a perfectly-timed tackle

The hosts go up the other end and, after an incisive move, Haaland's eventual shot goes inches past the post

Not far away... Odegaard feeds Partey, whose 20-yard curler goes just wide

Gabby embarks on a slaloming run - but he's eventually crowded out inside the City penalty area

Another Haaland shot, another Ramsdale save. Our No 1 gets down to beat away the City striker's powerful drive from a tight angle

That is some save! Haaland weaves his way towards goal before looking to pick out the bottom corner... Ramsdale dives to his right to keep the shot out

Brilliant defending! De Bruyne races through on goal but, after being slowed down by Gabriel, sees his goal-bound effort blocked away by White

Gabriel gets his head to Xhaka's free-kick - but he can't direct his effort on target

Battling hard to find a way back into the game

Not the start we wanted - De Bruyne hares forward before bending his shot past Ramsdale

The teams are out - and we're seconds away from kick-off. LET'S GO, GUNNERS!
