Zinchenko has brought that bit of quality to this team and he was creating in the first half and is trying to do so in the second half too.

Martin Odegaard swings a cross in, Saman Ghoddos lets it go and it's a goal-kick.

Arsenal are getting a sub ready.

Could really do with something to liven this game up a bit.

Brentford are doing a very good job at defending Arsenal balls into the box here. A long ball almost sets them away but Aaron Ramsdale is out of his box to deal with it.

Oooh. Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard are both inches away from meeting a cross but neither do. Ben Mee concedes a corner for the Bees.

I struggle to concentrate for 10 minutes without looking at my phone these days to be fair.

I don't want to make this about Ramsdale but this is going to test his concentration and focus. I saw an interview from him where he said that he couldn't concentrate for 90 minutes. He is going to have to do that today.

Chance for Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford. Yoane Wissa flicks a ball onto the Bees forward but he shoots wide from a tightish angle.

Arsenal right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu drops in and chests a dangerous long ball to Aaron Ramsdale. Good defending.

Bit of a scrappy start to the second half. Both sides look a little bit sleepy coming out after the break.

I can't stand this opinion about defensive displays "killing the game". Arsenal are clearly favourites, nothing wrong with Brentford playing for a point. You just don't like it because Arsenal aren't winning.

Gabriel Martinelli curls a left-wing cross straight out of play. Mikel Arteta looks frustrated on the side.

Bryan Mbeumo puts Aaron Ramsdale under pressure. The Arsenal keeper gets there first and deals with it.

Very early chance for Arsenal here, 20 seconds into the half. Poor defending sees the ball reach Bukayo Saka. He crosses and Martin Odegaard diverts the ball wide at the near post.

The second half is under way in Brentford.

Sheffield United manager Paul Heckingbottom, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We started poorly and then when we were going to give ourselves an opportunity to get back into the game, we conceded two really poor goals.

"When you're conceding goals like that, particularly, in this league, you're not going to give yourselves a chance.

"But we can't hide behind that, before that we have to be better. We dropped well below our standards that we've set this season, particularly in the last two games.

"We knew Bournemouth would try to start that way. We never really recovered. To concede the way we did before half-time then makes it difficult.

"Mistakes are mistakes, we have to make sure we perform better and get that our of our system for next week which is another big game.

"We know as a group that that wasn't good enough. We need to be better and generally we have been. We did keep going until the end, the effort was that but we dropped below our usual standards.

"You've got no option but to pick yourself up. There is always another game. A tricky game away but a team that is down there with us.

"Regardless of who we're playing, we're fighting for points to stay in this league. We can't put all our eggs in any one basket, we need points wherever they come."

No changes from either side at the break.
