Leicester City v Arsenal: Premier League – live!

8.45am EST 08:45

84 min Since Arsenal equalised, Leicester haven’t even hinted at doing something about it. They look tired, and given their increasing injury-list, those not on it aren’t getting much rest.

8.44am EST 08:44

83 min Words they never thought they’d type: Willian and Pepe have both been pretty good today.

8.43am EST 08:43

82 min He curls towards the near post, Amartey arriving first to stick the ball behind, so he’ll have another go; this time he goes for the far, Schmeichel pawing away … but straight to Tierney, who cuts across a very nifty-looking shot which zooms only just wide.

8.42am EST 08:42

81 min Partey finds himself outside the box with time and space, so tries a shot which loops up off the nearest shins and behind for a corner. Odegaard will take it…

8.41am EST 08:41

80 min Oh dear. Ricardo finds himself in a decent position outside the box and arcs a decent cross towards the far post, except none of his mates are anywhere near it and the ball drifts harmlessly behind.

8.40am EST 08:40

79 min Under attacks Xhaka down the right, but Xhaka is strong and Arsenal bring it away, Pepe nicking a pass into Cedric, turning up inside the box. But instead of looking to shoot he tries to put studs on top of ball and misses it entirely.

8.39am EST 08:39

77 min Hector Bellerin tucks his shirt in, advises Magnus Evander, while Ian Copestake wonders if he’s been left out today because handsomeness alone does not win football matches.

8.37am EST 08:37

75 min Xhaka is caught by Iheanacho’s stray forearm and is extremely upset.

8.36am EST 08:36

73 min Arsenal have been good today, the more aggressive and confident side. And they’re keeping it well now too – they know it’s over and so do Leicester.

8.34am EST 08:34

71 min Vardy shifts it inside and opens a shooting lane, walloping a curler that clobbers Mari on the heed. Leicester’s goal aside, he’s played pretty well today.

8.33am EST 08:33

71 min “Just to say, that magnificent Spurs team of the 80s were also lawless in the fashion,” says Rosin Morris. “It wasn’t just an untucked Hoddle but there was an oft-unrolled and apparently out of breath Tony Galvin bombing up and down the wing…”

I well remember – my dad was a big fan of him on account of his wingplay left-wing politics.

8.31am EST 08:31

70 min Leicester send on Amartey for Evans, who looks to have hurt his leg. This is turning into an absolutely horrific afternoon for them.

8.29am EST 08:29

67 min This Leicester performance absolutely reeks of a “post-match clear-the-air team-meeting in which harsh words were exchanged”.

8.27am EST 08:27

66 min Just what Leicester wanted to see: Elneny is replaced by Partey, who’s feeling his way back after injury.

8.26am EST 08:26

65 min Iheanacho curves a decent pass in behind for Vardy to chase, but Mari does well to stay with him and come away with the ball.

8.26am EST 08:26

64 min A lull in play. Take advantage by signing up for daily hilarity, or failing that, daily not hilarity.

63 min But here come Leicester, Iheanacho leaping to flick around Luiz while turning; that’s nice, but Luiz reacts well, treading on the ball to take it away, and Elneny steps in to smother, winning a goalkick in the process.

8.23am EST 08:23

62 min Leicester move it about as Arsenal invite them on, but without much conviction. I wonder if they need to have a think about the way they play, because although Vardy is brilliant on the counter, he doesn’t look fit and they need to take control of games.

8.22am EST 08:22

60 min “It used to be that you were risking a booking if you didn’t tuck your shirt in – as page 11 of this riveting FIFA document makes a tidy appearance something that has to be reffed,” emails Paul McGrory. “I remember Jack Charlton getting exercised about this at the 1994 World Cup as several pasty Irishmen were at death’s door in the heat of the American summer.”

Yes, I think the same applied to rolled-down socks.

8.20am EST 08:20

58 min “Speaking of shirts tucked in and that picture of Glenn Hoddle,” says Kristof Künssler-McIlwain, “when exactly did shorts get so much longer. You can’t really call them shorts any longer. I’m not trying to objectify my players, but look at them thighs.”

Glenn had tremendous pins, and I’d say the change came in the first season of the Premier League.

8.18am EST 08:18

57 min This is shaping up to be a key week in Arsenal’s season. The win in Benfica kept it alive, and a win here, without Saka and Aubameyang, will give them all sorts of confidence.

8.17am EST 08:17

55 min Leicester win a corner down the left and Luiz is up high to head clear, hurting himself on the way down. I thought it was the way he landed, but seems to have taken a bash to the eye; he’ll be ok.

8.16am EST 08:16

54 min These have been a dreadful few minutes for Leicester. It’s not at all easy to see how they come back from this, and it’s all come about because they sat back after being handed the lead.

8.15am EST 08:15

GOAL! Leicester City 1-3 Arsenal (Pepe 52)

Xhaka wins the ball and sets Pepe away, who moves it onto Odegaard. Just as it looks like the attack is breaking down, he finds a terrific poked pass between defenders that I think might be for Lacazette. But Willian, who’s been good today, collects, and finds a route across the face of goal through Evans’ legs, and Pepe tucks in from under the bar! Well!

8.13am EST 08:13

52 min Leicester’s injury-list is increasing at the worst possible time. Under goes to the right, with Albrighton moving to the left.

8.12am EST 08:12

51 min Cengiz Under comes on, and Willian flips over another decent ball, but Mari can’t impart the necessary power to get a header on target.

8.11am EST 08:11

49 min Oh dear. Barnes has an inflatable cast around his leg and is levered onto a stretcher. He doesn’t look in terrible pain, but he’s in trouble and carried off with hands over eyes. Godspeed, old mate.

47 min Immediately, Leicester are pressing high up the pitch and with renewed zest but then Barnes stretches to collect a ball and his ankle seems to give way. I hate to say it, but I think that’ll be his afternoon done; in the meantime, Arsenal win a corner.
