Hello and welcome to live coverage of Rennes v Arsenal.

Ben Arfa jinks his way into the box but takes one touch too many and has the path to goal blocked. The crowd and home side have their tails up.

Rennes break with Zeffane and then Sarr, who gets to the very edge of the box before passing to his left, but it's straight at a defender, meaning the ball bounces to Cech.

Bourigeaud is booked for zesty foul on Torreira as he looked to break down the right wing.

Sarr wriggles free on the right, but he and Zeffane fail to work well enough together to get a cross into the box. They win a throw instead.

Hunou has a shot fly well over the bar, and Rennes are growing into the game now.

Ben Arfa fizzes in a free kick, low and to Cech's right, bouncing just in front of him, but he's alive to the danger and beats it away.

Sokratis blocks off Ben Arfa's run in a dangerous position 25 yards out from goal, and is booked.

Bensebaini can't keep a loose pass in play and Arsenal win the ball back with a throw in midfield.

Mkhitaryan lines up a free kick on the left, a clever move finds Ozil on the left wing to fire in a cross, and Mustafi is given the chance to drill a shot just a yard wide of the far post.

Sokratis is given a warning for going into the back of Andre on the right wing. The free kick comes to nothing when Mexer is flagged offside at the back post.

Mustafi attempts a through ball into the box, but it's far too straight and quick, and is overpowered.

Koubek dives to punch away Iwobi's cross after he was found on the left by Mkhitaryan, crossing in for Aubameyang at the back post.

It looks to be a problem with his muscles, though, which will do for Mustafi, who is down in pain.

Mustafi turns up in the box, crosses for Aubameyang, but the ball richochets off Mexer, into what appears to be his testes, and out for a goal kick.

Mkhitaryan finds Aubaeyang, he steps inside and from the edge of the box he drills a slot low, towards the near post, and Koubek dives to stop it.

Arsenal have a few moments of pressure but Rennes just about clear their lines. The game is getting a wee bit heated now after Andre shoved Torreira relatively fairly to the ground.

Mustafi is limping off slowly to get some more treatment. Grenier stands over the ball, and from 35 yards out he strikes the ball sweetly and it goes only a yard or so over the crossbar.

He boshed into Mustafi about 35 yards from goal, and now the German has gone down with what looks like a problem wth his right shin or knee.

Ben Arfa has thrown himself to the ground, holding his head.

Aubameyang is tackled but wins a throw on the left, upsetting the home crowd.

Ben Arfa concedes the ball on the right after playing it inside, but Rennes have it back quickly. Bourigeaud overhits a pass for Grenier down the left.
