Big chance!

Arsenal have a free-kick about 25 yards out near the touchline.

It's whipped in by Declan Rice and it finds Viktor Gyökeres but he cannot keep his header on target.

Noni Madueke attempts a cross into the box but goalkeeper Unai Simon gathers before it can land at a blue shirt.

Wakey, wakey, fellas. There's a match to be won!

All Arsenal's threat has come from Noni Madueke and naturally when that happens the whole team shift. And Eberechi Eze at the edge of that is going to tuck in. But in possession they're better off if they're splitting and making the pitch really wide.

That's where the threat has been for Arsenal.

The big team news for Real Madrid tonight is that Trent Alexander-Arnold has been given the nod to start at right-back ahead of Dani Carvajal.

Jude Bellingham is on the bench after undergoing shoulder surgery in the summer. Bellingham has not played since 9 July.

Huge news coming from the Real Madrid dressing room...

Without having a huge attacking threat, Arsenal have looked comfortable in this first half. Athletic Club had the better of the earlier exchanges, created maybe one or two opportunities but didn't really trouble David Raya's goal.

Athletic Club have looked the inferior opponents at time. Arsenal have looked strong and they're at their best when they play forward. Noni Madueke, for me, is the biggest threat. In Viktor Gyokeres they have a willing runner but he's not had enough service.

I think there's more to come for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta will not be disappointed.

Arsenal are not going to have it all their own way. Athletic Club are really robust defensively but Arsenal have been comfortable in their own defensive shape.

I'll be honest, not a great watch.

Sloppy by Gabriel and Athletic Club have a chance to snatch the lead on the stroke of half-time but cannot make it count.

Thousands and thousands of Athletic Club fans, all wearing red and white shirts, are bouncing up and down on the spot.

Can the TV cameras just focus on them? Much more interesting than anything happening on the pitch.

Plenty of fireworks off the pitch in terms of the frenzied atmosphere in the stands. Sadly, very little in terms of fireworks on the pitch as half-time looms.

A really dangerous moment for Arsenal!

Alex Berenguer flashes an attempt narrowly wide of the post from an angle after the Gunners are caught out by Inaki Williams.

The home side loved that!

Tom: To Z @ 18:23 You need to show more respect to Bilbao. They're a very good team, at home, in Europe. Arsenal don't have the right to come in with a B-team and expect a win.

Viktor Gyokeres has now recorded 3 or more attempts in three of his five games for Arsenal in all competitions this season, with today the first time he's done so in an away game for the Gunners.

It's a game being played very much in the middle of the pitch. There's been few opportunities and we haven't spoken about either keeper much. That shows where the game's being played most of the time.

Is Declan Rice on a final warning?

The midfielder, who is already on a yellow, catches Andoni Gorosabel and the referee gives Rice a hard look before awarding the home side a free-kick.
