MAN CITY HAVE MADE A VERY BRIGHT START TO THE SECOND PERIOD
It was all Arsenal at the end of the opening 45 but Guardiola's words at the interval look to have done some good for his players.

MAN CITY ATTEMPT!
Rodri sees Ramsdale off his line and tries his luck with an audacious shot from just inside the Arsenal half. The Gunners keeper is clearly worried and ends up in the back of his own net, but fortunately for him the superb effort drifts an inch or two over the bar.
42'
WILL ARSENAL'S GREATER FITNESS PAY DIVIDENDS?
Guardiola was quick to suggest his side aren't quite at the same stage in preparation for the new PL campaign. If that's true, will it see Arsenal take charge in the second half?
40'
ARSENAL CHANCE!
It should be 1-0. Havertz fires in a first-time shot from eight yards out but it's too close to Ortega, who makes another superb save. It was a fine move from Arsenal with Odegaard finding Saka's run down the right and the England winger cutting it back with real precision.
38'
ARSENAL PUSH MAN CITY RIGHT BACK
All of a sudden it's the Treble winners who can't get out of their own half.

ARSENAL ATTEMPT
Saka races after a ball down the right flank. He jinks at Akanji, drifts on to his left foot but can only fire wide of the far post on the stretch.
34'
ARSENAL ARE ENJOYING THEIR BEST SPELL OF THE HALF
It certainly looks and feels that way although the stats still only have Arteta's men with 31 per cent of possession.
The Gunners have undoubtedly had the best chance(s) of the first 45.

A NERVY MOMENT FOR RAMSDALE!
The Arsenal keeper takes a heavy touch back towards his own goal with Haaland lurking in close proximity.
The crowd murmur anxiously but Ramsdale recovers to hammer the ball to safety.

ARSENAL HAVE COME TO LIFE
It's taken a while for the Gunners to get going but that opportunity seems to have given them a much-needed lift.
City were having it very easy but hopefully it will be much more of a contest from this point on.
