Arsenal begin to test the Leicester backline with some crosses into the box.
🔄 60'
Demarai Gray is on for Perez.
55'
Arsenal make a quick breakaway but the flag is correctly raised against the striker for offside.
51'
David Luiz gets up from the back, he drives forward and unleashes a curling effort towards goal, but it flies well wide of the Leicester goal.
48'
Pereira gets past Torreira and feeds it into the area to Ndidi, who slams his effort against the crossbar. So unlucky for the Nigerian.

Leicester City 0 Arsenal 0
42'
Not too far away! Maddison takes the free-kick and it ripples the top of the net, with Leno stood watching it, he wasn't getting anywhere near that.
40'
Torreira is very fortunate to escape a booking after scything down Maddison.
Referee Chris Kavanagh does hand out a final warning, though. Now Leicester have a free-kick in a dangerous area.
33'
Chambers does brilliantly to deny Vardy a tap in at the far post. Perez plays a superb cross into the box and Chambers has to slide in, whilst facing his own goal and nick the ball away from Vardy, who would surely of converted from there.
30'
The referee tries to play the advantage after Aubameyang fouls Chilwell, but Leicester don't get anywhere with it and he pulls it back for a free-kick in a good position. However, the delivery poor and Leno gathers at the far post.
28'
The pace of the game has dropped slightly in the last few minutes, with Leicester just controlling possession and the Gunners currently have everyone back behind the ball.
25'
Bellerin's misplaced pass allows his compatriot to get a sight of goal but just fires over on his weaker foot.
22'
Alexandre Lacazette is playing as the main striker up top for Arsenal, with Ozil and Aubameyang playing just behind him.
19'
Aubameyang beats Ndidi with a piece of skill and his cross eventually finds Lacazette at the back post, but after working half a yard of space, his shot is charged down and into the hands of Schmeichel.
17'
Good quick throw-in by Leicester, they catch Arsenal off guard and Perez gets down the right wing, dragging the ball back from the touchline, looking for Vardy, but it's well cut out by Chambers and the danger is cleared.
13'
Bellerin races down the right and cuts it back. Aubameyang's touch is heavy and appears to strike the arm of Ndidi, but play continues. It falls nicely for Lacazette, but somehow he curls wide from six yards.
10
Soyuncu goes down at the far post after Guendouzi puts an arm on his shoulder. VAR take a look at it and allow the referee's decision to stand, nothing given.
6'
Bellerin releases Aubameyang into the channel and he tries to find his strike partner Lacazette in the box. Evans makes a vital interception, and Ozil fires into the side netting from an offside position.
4'
Arsenal are shaping up with a back three of Chambers, Holding and David Luiz, with Bellerin and Kolasinac providing the width down the wings for the Arsenal.
