Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. Arsenal FC host Leicester City FC — let the battle begin!
- 5' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Ben White has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 10' Arsenal FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 11' Thomas Partey makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Arsenal FC are in front.
- 16' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Luke Thomas suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' With 2 assists to his name this season, Kieran Tierney is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Leicester City FC.
- 26' Over 26 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' Kelechi Iheanacho picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.

- 66' The home supporters are growing impatient. Arsenal FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 71' Kasper Schmeichel has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 74' It is a substitution in Leicester City FC team. Kelechi Iheanacho is replaced by Patson Daka on 74 minute.
