That's an incredible hit.

Liverpool have had all the possession but West Ham break, it's a lovely one-two and then a wonderful strike from Lucas Paqueta.

Diogo Jota is back on his feet now. It was his back he hurt but he's fine. Basically me getting out of bed every morning.

Pinball in the Chelsea box but Brentford can't create a clear-cut chance.

• Manchester City have won all six of their Premier League home games against Arsenal under Pep Guardiola by an aggregate score of 17-3. They last lost at home to the Gunners in January 2015 (2-0).
• Arsenal have scored just three goals in their past 10 Premier League games against City, failing to score on seven occasions.
• City have beaten the Gunners twice already this season - 3-1 in the Premier League and 1-0 in the FA Cup. Only Liverpool have beaten Arsenal three times in the same season before (1994-95, 1996-97 and 2021-22).
• Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has lost all six of his Premier League games against Manchester City. They're the only side the Spaniard has managed against and not beaten in the competition.

I've got a feeling that Kyle Walker will play at left back because Bukayo Saka is one of Arsenal's most important players.

Walker's pace could be crucial to keeping him quiet.

Midway through the first half at the City Ground and there is little sign of the tempo slowing down.

Fast and furious.

Brighton are having more control of the ball than their hosts in the past few minutes, though.

If they get anything out of this game after Brennan Johnson was unable to score from the penalty spot, Pervis Estupinan - the culprit who gave away the foul - will be buying Jason Steele flat whites for the rest of the week.

Gabriel Martinelli has been involved in 11 goals in his last 10 Premier League games for Arsenal (8 goals, 3 assists).

Overall, he has 15 Premier League goals this season, the joint-most by a Brazilian player in a single campaign, along with Roberto Firmino in 2017-18.

The thing I like about Brighton is that they play simple passes quickly to keep their opponents moving, then deliver the ball forward into little pockets of space, rather than just playing safe all the time.

Too many teams keep possession for the sake of it, without actually trying to create.

It's a very impressive approach.

Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo both have shots blocked and Liverpool have their second corner of the game.

Literally nothing has happened so far in this one. Plucky Chelsea are holding their top-half opponents.

Mikel Arteta says within two weeks of joining Arsenal Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus said the team had what it takes to win the Premier League title.

As the Gunners prepare for a crucial run-in - including Wednesday's game against the duo's former club Manchester City - Arteta said he will be using their experience as much as possible.

When asked if he is leaning on the pair, Arteta said: "For sure.

"Their experience is key when you have been in those moments to handle those and try to understand the importance of certain things."

On how he is utilising their experience, Arteta added: "In a very natural way.

"When they came in after two or three weeks, because of where they have been, they said we can win this league.

"It’s not something that we have started to feel or they have started to transmit, it has been going on since August.

"It’s not something we now rely on, this process has been coming a long time."

Former Premier League defender Steve Brown says Arsenal's recent results might prompt a reaction against Manchester City that catapults them to the Premier League title.

However he said if the Gunners lose to Pep Guardiola's side on Wednesday "they can kiss the title goodbye".

He told BBC Radio London's The Far Post podcast: "Maybe because of the recent lack of form and what to us looks like pressure they can’t handle, maybe there is a reaction at Man City.

"Maybe they do get it right on the night. I hope they do, because it is the last chance they have got. It’s hard to explain. It’s frightening what your brain can do in a sporting capacity when you’re not on top of your game and confident in yourself.

"They keep having to chase games. If they lose on Wednesday night they can kiss the title goodbye.

"If you'd have said you are going to finish second with all those teams below, they would have taken it. But they have been eight points clear and five points clear with games in hand. It looks like it's going to just slip away."

Manchester City have a 79% chance of winning the Premier League according to our Euro Club Index,, external the highest title-winning probability of any team this season. Arsenal's 21% chance of winning the league is their lowest since early October.

An Arsenal win this evening will again make them favourites to win though, with a 55% chance of lifting the Premier League trophy. A win for Manchester City will increase their chance of a fifth Premier League title in six years to 89%. A draw will leave City on 73% chance of the title and Arsenal on 27%.

The two keepers have been the key players so far.

This time it is Keylor Navas who proves his worth.

The Forest keeper denies Julio Enciso from close range after he was picked out by Kaoru Mitoma, who led the Forest defence on a merry dance before cutting back.

That boy was born to dribble.

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton expects Manchester City to comfortably beat Arsenal on Wednesday and thinks their previous experience in title races will see them through again this season.

Sutton told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club: "Manchester City seem to be hitting their straps at exactly the right time in the season.

"They have players who will want to play in that game against Real Madrid. Look at the FA Cup game against Sheffield United - the likes of [Riyad] Mahrez, who has a point to prove. They have competition in midfield. They have players in virtually every position who are going to be scrapping and want to play in the biggest games of all.

"At this moment in time, I suspect Arsenal players will have doubts. They are going to the worst possible ground and Manchester City have that strut.

"They have been there, they’ve done it and I think they will actually win the game comfortably."
