5' Newcastle United FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
9' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jamaal Lascelles on 9.
14' 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 Jeff Hendrick suffering a number of foals already.
19' Arsenal FC have won 729 goals from 416 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?

36' Martin Dubravka, a Slovakia goalkeeper, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
