CloseArteta on title hopes and challenge of Leicester

Leicester City host Arsenal in the Premier League’s early kick-off today, with the injury hit visitors looking to close the gap on Liverpool in the title race.

Arsenal were dealt a major blow in midweek, though, as Kai Havertz tore his hamstring to join Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus on the sidelines.

45+1 mins: Positive work from Nwaneri who glides past his man on the right and whips a delivery into the danger area - Faes gets there first to concede a corner.

Gabriel gets a head to the corner but it lacks power and Leicester are able to clear.

Not exactly a hot take at this point, but Nwaneri is a real talent.

Best player on the pitch so far.

39 mins: Great challenge from El Khannouss to dispossess Trossard, throwing in a block to thwart Arsenal’s attack.

However, Leicester just hook the ball away and give possession straight back to the Gunners.

Leicester 0-0 Arsenal

36 mins: Trossard puts Soumare under pressure to force a change in possession in the middle of the park, allowing Sterling to pick up the ball and drive towards the box.

Sterling opts to go with a direct approach and fires an effort towards goal from the edge of the box, deflected out for a corner.

Nothing comes from the resulting set piece but that’s the first time we’ve seen an Arsenal player just have a crack today, rather than dilly dally around the area.
