Petr Cech is a fabulous goalkeeper and has been one of the best over the years but Bernd Leno has done nothing wrong so it would have been harsh on him to have dropped him.

Robbie Brady is back in the Burnley side this afternoon and he drills in a free-kick deep to the back post, Marcos Alonso is beaten to it by Sam Vokes but his looping header is again well cleared by David Luiz.

Luiz has had a fascinating career at Chelsea. He wins the league every few years but spends the fallow years out of he picture altogether, or sold...

A few minutes late but better late than never - away we go at Selhurst Park.

Strong start from the Clarets - Johann Gudmundsson is onside down the right and puts in a telling cross, but David Luiz just about deals with it.

The standard has been good. Arsenal look confident and there is a really good feeling around the club. It is completely different at Crystal Palace.

Away we go...

We have just had a round of applause. Everyone here is thinking of Leicester and that terrible accident last night.

Crystal Palace go into this game just two points above the relegation zone and they are yet to score here this season.

Contrasting scenes at our two venues - The Last Post rings out at Turf Moor to a background of impeccable silence, while there's a cacophony of noise at Selhurst Park.

The first of two Scottish League Cup semi-finals to be played today is about to get under way.

Follow that one here.

Whenever Leicester fans rang in to gripe about the team, they were never aimed at the owners. We don't know all the facts but our thoughts are also with the families of the helicopter's crew as well.

You can get all the latest on the Leicester crash here.

Almost time to get going, the teams are in the tunnels. You can listen to comms from Selhurst Park too - just hit play above.

Sprinklers on full whack at both Selhurst Park and Turf Moor. It was borderline snowing this morning but it's turned out alright...

Arsenal manager Unai Emery speaking to Sky Sports: "For us today it is very important to keep improving. We are okay but we need to get better each match.

"For every team it is difficult to come here but we can be competitive for 90 minutes and our quality will show. We want to be intense for 90 minutes."

On selecting Bernd Leno ahead of a fit Petr Cech: "I am very happy with both keepers. It is a very high level of performances. It is good to continue with Leno because he is working well and playing at a high performance. Cech has opportunities to play but for today he is on the bench."

On playing Granit Xhaka at left-back: "In the moment it is only because of the injuries to Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac. I think he was doing the last few matches in this position. His commitment is very, very big. His position after that is in the midfield."

On Mesut Ozil as captain: "The captain role is very clear for us. We want his commitment and example in midfield. In every day and in the 90 minutes today we want his quality. He is a leader."

Yes, if you didn't see the Arsenal game in midweek, Granit Xhaka was played as a left-back and we think he will be again.

Sadeesh: It's going to be Xhaka vs Zaha!

Former England manager and Tottenham midfielder Glenn Hoddle is in a serious condition in hospital after suffering a heart attack on Saturday.

Hoddle collapsed after appearing on BT Sport on his 61st birthday.

A spokesman said:

"Glenn is now in the care of the professional NHS medical services, who have also been exemplary in helping him and the family during the last 24 hours."

Akorede: There has been much talk about #Chelsea, external having to rely on Eden Hazard. Today holds a huge factor to prove people right or wrong.

The 12 children who were rescued from flooded caves in Thailand this year will be at Old Trafford on Sunday to watch Manchester United play Everton.

The youngsters, all members of a junior football team, were rescued in July after being trapped for over two weeks.

Their plight gained worldwide attention and in the aftermath the children were invited to a United game by the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

The boys met Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho on Saturday.

It is understood the youngsters will walk by the side of the pitch before watching the Premier League encounter (16:00 GMT) from the directors' box.
