Evening all, and welcome to Arsenal v Leeds United in the last 16 of the League Cup!

Llorente slides out to Drameh, who waits for the ball to come to him - enough time for Martinelli to seize it, but Llorente does a good covering for his young buddy, sliding in to tackle.

Holding attacks the corner running around the back, but Leeds get the ball clear easily enough.

Dan James is on the left, not the right at the club teamsheets suggested. Meantime, Nketiah finds Pepe, whose cross is deflected behind.

The away end is giving in plenty.

Why do Arsenal have the names on their shirts done in goth writing? Very odd, likewise Leeds' numbering.

And away we go!

The players and officials take a knee.

The players are tunnelling.

On the PA, they're playing London Calling, but they don't live by the river anymore - not since the Woolwich Arsenal days.

Tonight's a big night for Eddie Nketiah, who's faded from the picture lately. He's a good finisher with very good timing, but needs to improve his all-round game to make the grade at Arsenal. It seems unlikely and he's not made a matchday squad yet, which I find a little surprising - he's someone I'd want on the bench for when I needed a goal.

These teams also met in the final of the 1972 FA Cup final.

Arteta says when you get momentum you have to keep it going, and though he's rotated the team he's expecting a high level of performance. He wants the players getting their minutes to make it hard for him when picking the team and being four games away from winning a trophy should be enough motivation for the players.

Anyone remember the 1968 League Cup final?

Leeds will be delighted to have Kalvin Phillips back. They've struggled badly without him, and the sooner he can get up to speed, the better for them.

Asked if he's gone for an offensive line-up Marcelo Bielsa tells Sky that he usually goes with four attacking players, then says that when he came on against Wolves, the 19-year-old Joe Gelhardt unbalanced the game - and he won the penalty from which Rodrigo equalised. He's on the bench again tonight.

Those parentheses, what a world.

This is lovely.

Jermaine Beckford is on the touchline for Sky.

The great Walter Smith passed on today. Get some of this.
