well welcome everybody to a part of the world where football really matters there is a healthy tension great expectation building in the lead up to kickoff here a little bit grow ahead and indeed the forecast is for a drop or two of rain as the day grows older but regardless of that there is a lovely backdrop here the Ambiance is good smashing noise from both sets of supporters and expectations high in both caps the emirat stadium in all its glorious modernity this symbol of new Arsenal the Arsenal of the 21st century as you can see we've already started here so Jim who would you identify as the key man in this fixture yeah burn Leno I think his presence might make all the difference for this team he's got Lightning Fast reactions and a coolness Under Pressure that allows him to make the big one-on-one saves he's also very Rel relable under the high ball or when he's dealing with crosses and i' and the Finish he couldn't get hold of it well that's where he wants it good idea just poorly [Applause] executed beIN Hector barin takes the long option it's out for a goal kick hoist It [Applause] Forward tries to get it Forward [Applause] quickly mersal there's a long [Applause] ball swept in it's always going to be the keepers and it's played forward a heavy challenge the ball's come loose and the chase is on well the defense got the better of him this time but I'm sure he'll go again [Applause] well positioned to make that [Applause] interception forward it goes and the counter is on there were better options before the ball was lost easy to say save from up here or no tries to get it Forward [Applause] quickly hoists it forward and that is as far as they got to go and the referee brings the first half to a close so both sides have drawn blanks they have toiled at times but it's not been a bad game by any means Abed on the first half well they've never really been threatened in the first half I think it's been a magnificent team effort the work rate has been superb very very organized and after 45 minutes it is still goalless change perhaps after halftime we're proly into the second 45 minutes Arsenal clearly have been the better side for me yeah I know the score doesn't quite reflected but if they go about their game in in the same manner as the opening 45 minutes things really shouldn't [Applause] prove tried to play it through ah it was too timid to make it through the defense it'll be noted and and improved upon I'm sure TIY TIY Clips one through hle gets flagged offside [Applause] Keeper's got good distance on that and it's played forward well red he sorted that out kabos here it comes a he's not going to get that has put a stop to that very little a report from an attacking perspective Jim it's a kg old game yes nil nil and little promise of a goal due to the shot shy nature of this contest but I'm not giv up on it there's plenty energy on the pitch shapes to [Applause] shoots that's just very well played he can't hurt you with his back to goal and he didn't go for the back [Applause] here oh he's caught him there it's a free kick [Applause] away from immediate danger forward it goes another chance from a corner ah now some movement on the bench and we are going to see a change loo catches it safely Shaka plays It Forward Arsenal showing a good level of intensity at this stage they're calling on all their resources now chip through oh that's neat it into the middle and it's hoisted clear you wonder if that's it now but there may be one more opportunity Peter for a late late steal here Jaa tries to get it Forward [Applause] quickly can't get the bit of his opposite number two minutes to be added on Jaa gets it back the 90 minutes are up 30 more to come yeah neither side has anything to show for some Splendid effort and they certainly aren't showing any signs of easing off so we remain optimistic so all square we need a winner and we will be back
