- 4' Oliver Norwood has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 4.
- 9' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mesut Ozil made 428 appearances and scored 13 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 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 Lucas Torreira suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' Both keepers have barely been tested. Arsenal FC and Sheffield United FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
