Events
Match Events

- 2' Manchester City FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Raheem Sterling on 2.
- 7' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nicolas Pepe made 466 appearances and scored 68 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 12' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Arsenal FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 17' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 22' Manchester City FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 27' Manchester City FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 32' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 37' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 37 minutes.
- 42' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 47' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 51' Bernardo Silva has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 51.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Granit Xhaka on 53 minutes.
- 58' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

- 73' Alexandre Lacazette has so much to prove this time. He replaces Martin Odegaard on 73 minute.
- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 86' The Arsenal FC manager makes a substitution. Mohamed El Neny departs to be replaced by Dani Ceballos.
