    Arsenal have only scored in the opening 15 minutes in one of their 15 Premier League games this season, netting twice in this period last time out versus Wolves.

    Not even an attempt in the first 15 of this one.

    No shots and no corners yet, but a few tasty challenges coming in.

    I really like the way Luton have started this game. They've been physical and tight to the Arsenal players.

    These are the kind of games Arsenal of years gone by would lose more often than not. Big chance to show how much they’ve grown.

    Katie McCabe scored a stunner as the Republic of Ireland made it six wins from six in the Women's Nations League with a 6-1 victory over Northern Ireland at Windsor Park.

    Lucy Quinn and Heather Payne hit a quickfire double in the first half.

    Kyra Carusa netted 50 seconds after the restart before McCabe fired in a superb effort to make it four.

    Louise Quinn and Caitlin Hayes scored from corners either side of Kerry Beattie's 75th-minute consolation.

    Hungary's 4-0 win over Albania means Northern Ireland will face a relegation play-off against a League C team in February.

    The Republic had already topped Group B1 and earned promotion to League A but end their campaign and the tenure of interim manager Eileen Gleeson in style.

    Gabriel Martinelli is back with us. Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard are among the options on the bench if needed later on for the visitors.

    This is a different Ross Barkley. You associate him attacking and taking people on.

    For Luton, he's sat in front of the back four like a maestro breaking up play and playing long passes.

    Gabriel Martinelli needs some early treatment after taking a knee to the lower back when challenging with Teden Mengi.

    The Arsenal man looks in some discomfort here.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2023

    Wolves 1-0 Burnley

    The whistle goes for half-time with Wolves ahead.

    Burnley are going to have to do something they haven't managed this season and come from behind to win.

    Gabriel hoofs one forwards old school, but Luton goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski, just inside his penalty area, can gather the bouncing ball just before Gabriel Jesus can get on the end of it.

    There seems to be a lot more energy in this Wolves team now. There's a bit more energy about this place.

    The word 'believe' was pinned up in the away side's dressing room and Vincent Kompany will want his players to keep the faith still, despite their desire to play out from the back proving their undoing.

    There's four minutes of stoppage time at the end of the 45 minutes.

    Burnley have been the architects of their own downfall this season and you can see why.

    That's a shocking touch from Sander Berge on the edge of his area and Hwang Hee-chan tucked it away very confidently.

    His scoring run continues!

    Hwang Hee-chan gets his ninth of the season but Burnley will be kicking themselves as they played themselves into trouble there.

    The visitors get caught out trying to play out from the back and Matheus Cunha feeds Hwang inside the box and the forward keeps his cool to sidestep a challenge and finish from close range.

    Burnley should be ahead and the home fans are getting a little restless. Their side have not hit their strides so far in this contest.

    The crowd are trying to lift Wolves here because they are very flat. Burnley are confident and they just had a big chance.

    Vitinho takes quite some time with a throw, much to the Wolves fans' frustration and the Burnley man is roundly booed before he flings the ball back into play.
