Willian and Bellerin combine neatly down the right, but the final ball in to Pepe lacks quality and Ederson is able to race off his line and gather.

60'
STAT: Sterling has scored an unrivalled 35 goals among Premier League players in all competitions since the start of last season.
58'
No real surprise to see City having most of the ball again. There's no intense pressure and Arsenal remain very much in it.
56'
54'
Mahrez cuts in from the right once again and pulls the trigger. Leno gets down well to smother and hang on tight.
52'
STAT: City have earned 25 points from their past 10 home league games against other established top-six teams, only losing to Manchester United in December 2019.
50'
Tierney hoists a curling, high shot towards goal from 35 yards. It's hopeful, but dips late and almost causes Ederson a problem before dropping just over.
49'
48'
It looks like Pepe will be okay, but Lacazette is warming up just in case.
47'
Pepe nods Aubameyang's left-wing cross straight at Ederson. He seems to fall awkwardly too. He seems in a bit of pain and needs some treatment.
2nd Half
46'
KICK OFF! Arsenal restart the contest.
End of 1st Half
45+1'

45+1'
Saka races on to Xhaka's killer pass down the left. Saka fizzes a low ball into the six-yard box, but Dias is well placed to hack it to safety.
45'
One minute added. Walker tries to defend a corner with a high boot. Gabriel takes it down and sees his shot blocked. No interest from VAR it seems... Could Arsenal have had a penalty?
42'
The visitors get in again. Pepe diverts a pass through for Aubameyang, but again Ederson is out well to thwart his thumping shot.
40'
It can change very fast though! Tierney and Saka wreak havoc on the left. Saka plays a one-two with Aubameyang to get in-behind the City defence, but Ederson rushes off his line and makes a brilliant save to deny the Arsenal youngster.
39'
Not a good stat for Arsenal - touches in opponents box: Man City 17-3 Arsenal.
