    As always, thanks for tuning in to our live coverage - we hope to see you very soon!
  • 95'
    FT: Arsenal 2-1 Cardiff - A game which came to life in the second half, with goals from Aubameyang and Lacazette enough to see off a Cardiff side still in shock at the disappearance of Emiliano Sala.
  • 93'
    GOOOOAAALL CARDIFF!! They're back in this! Is there time to equalise?

  • 65'
    PENALTY ARSENAL - Kolasinac goes down after a poor challenge by Ecuele Manga. What a chance for the hosts to take the lead!

    SUB ARSENAL - Carl Jenkinson, who I'd forgotten existed, is on to replace Stephan Lichsteiner.
  • 57'
    It's not a pretty scene at the Emirates. Empty seats, bad football, and all in the pouring rain.
  • 55'
    And they're both back on. Mustafi seems to be in some pain, but is playing through it for now.
  • 53'
    INJURY ARSENAL - Both Sokratis and Mustafi are hobbling here. Worrying moments for Arsenal.
  • 51'
    Fairly relentless Arsenal pressure, but no chance being created by the hosts.
  • 48'
    CHANCE ARSENAL - Guendouzi fires over from distance. Poor effort.
  • 46'
    And we're back underway here at the Emirates. Let's hope the second half is better than the first.
  • 45'
    HT: Arsenal 0-0 Cardiff City - A half to forget, with very little in the way of goalmouth action. The Arsenal players are still complaining to Mike Dean as they walk towards the changing rooms.
  • 44'
    Penalty claims for Arsenal as Lacazetter is upended inside the area by Ecuele Manga. Certainly looked a penalty to me, but referee Mike Dean waves away the appeals.
  • 41'
    Bennett whips the ball in but Guendouzi clears. He wanted more communication from his goalkeeper there.
  • 40'
    FREE-KICK CARDIFF - Can they make anything of this?

    YELLOW CARD CARDIFF - Paterson upends Lichsteiner and goes into the book.
  • 32'
    Lots of empty seats in the Emirates this evening. Perhaps the Gunners' recent slump in form is to blame?
  • 30'
    It hits the wall and goes out for a corner.

    YELLOW CARD ARSENAL - Nacho Monreal brings Reid down, and receives a booking. Free-kick right on the edge of the area for Cardiff...
  • 27'
    Very little to report of late. Arsenal have had the ball but aren't doing much with it.
  • 21'
    Arsenal have responded well to those two chances for Cardiff, and are putting a fair bit of pressure on the visitors' goal.
  • 19'
    OFFSIDE ARSENAL - And Lichsteiner will be happy it is. He's missed an absolute sitter from 3 yards out - luckily for him the linesman's flag is raised.
  • 15'
    CHANCE CARDIFF - It's Reid again! This time his headed attempt whistles just over the bar. Good effort from him, given he's certainly not the tallest player.
  • 12'
    CHANCE CARDIFF - Bobby Reid goes close, smashing an effort just wide of the goal.
  • 8'
    Good start in general from Cardiff though, who seem determined to honour their striker with a good performance today. They are pressing Arsenal very high up the pitch.
  • 6'
    There have been some touching tributes to Emiliano Sala this evening. A moment's applause has been held around all the Premier League grounds. Here, at the Emirates, we have just seen a young fan holding up a shirt with Sala's name on it.
  • 3'
    CHANCE ARSENAL - Lacazette reveives the ball in the box, but his effort is blocked.
  • 1'
    And we're off!

    The teams are ready, here we go!

    Much more importantly, tonight's match is Cardiff's first since the disappearance of striker Emiliano Sala. In his honour, the Argentinian has been included in the Cardiff squad in the official match programme. A nice touch by Arsenal.
  • PRVW
    So, both Lacazette and Aubameyang are in the Arsenal XI from the start, as is Mesut Ozil, who captains the side. He needs a big performance this evening, having been out of favour of late.
  • PRVW
    And tonight's visitors, Cardiff City: Etheridge; Peltier, Ecuele Manga, Bamba, Bennett; Arter, Gunnarson, Ralls; Paterson, Decordova-Reid, Niasse.
  • PRVW
    Time for some team news, starting with today's hosts, Arsenal: Leno; Lichtsteiner, Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Elneny, Torreira; Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
