Good evening and welcome to our live-text coverage of Leicester vs Arsenal. Once upon a time fourth place was considered the reserve of the Gunners but their opponents Leicester have the honour of holding the final Champions League spot. One place back but a whole six points behind are Arsenal, whose season is yet to really get going, overshadowed by Xhaka dramas, daylight robbery and many points lost. Three points on offer as always. Things kick off at 17:30 but stay with us for all the build-up and hype.

End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FT: Leicester 2-0 Arsenal
Leicester make it four wins in a row and go second in the league after a dominant performance and deserved win over a lacklustre Arsenal.
It feels like we’ve been here before. Leicester, a well oiled well drilled machine, with the best defence in the league, with four wins in a row, second in the league. Can they challenge for the title?
Based on this utterly professional performance, only a fool would write them off. Vardy, Maddison, Tielemans, Ndid, these are brilliant players who would not look out of place with a trophy in their hands.
90+2'
Leicester toying with Arsenal now who have pretty much given up any hope of even a consolation goal.

A well drilled, well oiled machine this Leicester side. They know exactly what they're doing and they execute it with such class.
LONG RANGE
84'
Leicester having a lot of fun now. They've conceded two second half goals all season. I doubt they'll concede two more in the next six minutes.
VARDY GUNS THE GUNNERS
79'
This isn't lucky or flattering, it's thoroughly deserved.
Leicester are going nine points clear of Arsenal and stamping their authority all over those Champions League spots.
A title challenge not a million miles away by any means.

Pepe's on for Holding.
Throw the dice.

GOAL!
Another fantastic finish and a huge statement from Leicester.
Vardy on the left knocks it back for Maddison who just leathers it through Kolasinac's legs and into the net. Leno had no chance.

CHANCE!
Vardy almost puts this game to bed but his rifled effort is saved by Leno.

GOAL!
And what a goal this is.
One-touch stuff, slick as you like. Maddison to Tielemans to Vardy who sweeps in at the back post from seven yards.
Arsenal with no answer to that. Wonderful stuff. Vardy back at the top of the goalscoring charts.

Lacazette does brilliantly to make the tackle on Maddison and start a counter but immediately gives the ball away to Evans.
Gray looks lively and has a g from distance - straight down Schmeichel's throat.
65'
Shouts for handball in the box but Guendouzi points to his chest.
More chants for VAR - replays look like it did catch him more on the shoulder/chest area.
62'
Arsenal enjoying a spell of dominance here. Lacazette doing really well down the right-hand side and trying his utmost to make something happen.
The away fans making some real noise now.

DISALLOWED GOAL!
Aubameyang thinks he's made the breakthrough after latching on to Kolasinac's cross.
The crowd shout for VAR!
He's way off...
