    It's almost 2-0 to Arsenal now as Theo Walcott slips in Danny Welbeck, with Hammers keeper Darren Randolph doing well to keep his effort out.

    West Ham heads appear to have dropped. Is this going to be a fifth consecutive Premier League defeat?

    Ozil breaks the deadlockpublished at 58 mins

    Finally we've had a goal. Jose Fonte plays a terrible clearance straight to Mesut Ozil, who takes a touch and curls home from just outside the box.

    West Ham keeper Darren Randolph could have done better with it, but he claims he was unsighted by a player in the way.

    As things stand, Arsenal are six points behind the Champions League places - thanks to Manchester City trailing at Chelsea. It could be down to four (with a game in hand) if the Gunners can score.

    Both Jose Fonte and Arthur Masuaku are OK to continue, thankfully for the Hammers.

    Fonte's first act since coming back on is to commit a foul.

    West Ham have two defenders down injured - as Jose Fonte and Arthur Masuaku clashed heads while trying to deal with a corner. They are both getting treatment.

    Alexis Sanchez finds Mesut Ozil in space in the box and it's a sensational goal-saving tackle by James Collins. A genuinely world-class bit of defending.

    Mesut Ozil is in on goal, but it's too good to be true. He was offside after James Collins stepped up.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 5 April 2017

    Arsenal 0-0 West Ham

    Arsenal ended the half well on top, but without being able to score. It's not been a classic.

    Mesut Ozil hits the post, but he was offside anyway.

    Arsenal have their best chances of the game so far - Hector Bellerin has a shot blocked by Jose Fonte, with Mohamed Elneny's follow-up effort deflected over by James Collins.

    And Danny Welbeck heads at Darren Randolph from the corner.

  18. YELLOW CARDpublished at 39 mins

    West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini goes into the book for fouling Hector Bellerin. The referee let play go on, before showing the Argentine a yellow card after the Gunners attack ended.

    Ball falls to Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny outside the box and he shoots - I mean I think it was a shot - with the outside of his foot. It goes halfway between the goal and the corner flag. Shocking.

    I'd love for you to stay here with me obviously, but if you like goals - you're in the wrong place.

    There have been between one and four goals in each of the other five Premier League games tonight.
