    Level at the break. Arsenal's Kai Havertz had the best two chances, both saved.

    A good bursting run from City debutant Mateo Kovacic from deep but William Saliba lets the ball run out. Solid defending.

    Great vision from Rodri, those are the ones that embarrass the keeper. He spotted that the keeper was a bit too high when City had the ball.

    Kyle Walker tries to beat Jurrien Timber on the outside but knocks the ball out of play.

    Oh my.

    City midfielder Rodri has the ball in the centre circle and sees Aaron Ramsdale a few yards off his line and thinks why not.

    The Spaniard absolutely launches in a shot from 55 yards out that has Ramsdale scrambling and just lands onto the roof of the net.

    Jurrien Timber, the Arsenal left-back, is the furthest man forward as he chases a long ball that just runs past him to the City keeper. Positive play from the ex-Ajax man.

    Arsenal fans will be happy with what they have see from Kai Havertz so far, with the former Chelsea forward having had the two best chances of the match.

    The Gunners' supporters thought for a moment that Havertz had scored there and were beginning to celebrate before realising Ortega had pulled off a fine save.

    After a slow start, Arsenal are finishing the half strongly.

    Second shot on target today, the second one for Kai Havertz. He again shoots following a cut-back from the right and is again denied by Stefan Ortega.

    Arsenal forward Kai Havertz does well to close down Ruben Dias' clearance but the ball lands back to the City man.

    Arsenal 0-0 Man City

    The thing is Thomas Partey and Julian Alvarez didn't leather the ball away in anger, they were little nudges of the ball really.

    It will be interesting to see if it lasts or if it's one of those refereeing fads that dies out after a few weeks.

    Dan, London: This is utterly wonderful stuff from the refs. Finally the petulance, play acting, imaginary card waving nonsense is finally getting kicked out of football.

    I'm loving the yellows for kicking the ball away, it's about time. Cannot wait to see how many get booked for crowding the ref.

    Pat 3rd.

    Arsenal getting into the groove. Bukayo Saka cuts in past Manuel Akanji and then blasts a shot across goal.

    Gabriel Martinelli whips his corner straight out of play on the other side.

    Gabriel Martinelli beats Kyle Walker down the left and his cross is hacked behind by John Stones. Decent spell for Arsenal.

    Arsenal have a corner. Bukayo Saka takes but City get it out.

    That has ruined all the 'oh no it's always our players who get booked and never theirs' messages we've been getting.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 32 mins

    Arsenal 0-0 Man City

    The referee stops play for a minor foul and Julian Alvarez just nudges the ball away. The City forward is booked. They're really going to town on this new guidance.
