Aaron Ramsey, who will be a great signing for someone next summer, sprays a ball from halfway but it's too far for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
My assertion about four years ago that James McCarthy was better than Ramsey wasn't my best 'football opinion' to be honest.
Tin Jedvaj has just put Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 up against FC Zurich. As things stand, they'd go through, so long as Ludogorets v AEK Larnaca ends in a draw. It's currently 0-0.

A quick break from Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe cuts in from the left but then slips as he shoots and Jeremy Mathieu heads it behind.

Not much to report in the last three minutes or so. Sporting have just taken a throw-in. That's about it.

Chance for Sporting now as Abdoulaye Diaby attempts an audacious acrobatic volley. He volleys it straight at Carl Jenkinson's arm and appeals for a penalty.
Unless Jenkinson could turn himself into a ghost there, I'm not sure how he was meant to avoid a shot from two yards away.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
The ball drops from the sky to Carl Jenkinson, who tries a ridiculous 30-yard volley, but he totally air-kicks it and it just goes to the side of him.

Just 40 seconds after the restart and Arsenal are almost ahead. Stephan Lichtsteiner flicks a header onto Henrikh Mkhitaryan, whose cross finds Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - who turns it wide from close range.

The second half is under way. As things stand, Arsenal will go through to the knockout stages. But that depends on the other game in the group if they don't win this.

Could 19-year-old Eddie Nketiah get some minutes later in this one?
Nabo: Nketiah may get a chance to shine in Welbeck's absence as Laca & Auba's backup
Arsenal 0-0 Sporting Lisbon
This is the 11th time this season that Arsenal have gone in level at half-time. They have won eight of the previous 10.
Real Betis had hoped to seal their place in the last 32 today. They're doing their bit, leading AC Milan 1-0.
But they also needed Olympiakos to not win. The Greek side are 4-0 up against Dudelange, who are heading out.
Dinamo Zagreb look like they're moving into the knockout stages. They lead Spartak Trnava 2-0. Any win would take them through.
Bordeaux will be out if they lose today, but they are 1-0 up against Zenit St Petersburg at half-time.
Francois Kamano put them ahead with a penalty.
Takumi Minamino has scored a hat-trick for Red Bull Salzburg, who are 4-0 up at Rosenborg. But they won't clinch their place just yet if Celtic hang onto their 1-0 lead against RB Leipzig.
As things stand, FC Zurich would be into the last 32. They're drawing 0-0 against Bayer Leverkusen. But a goal in the group's other game between Ludogorets Razgrad and AEK Larnaca (also goalless) could change that.

We're level at the break. As things stand, Arsenal are into the last 32.

Arsenal right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner is playing in such an attacking position, he heads an effort wide from a cross from open play.
