Welcome to coverage of the Premier League game between Arsenal and Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium.

But headed clear by Johan Djourou.

Charles N'Zogbia wins Wigan's first corner.

Great skill from Fabregas who nutmegs Steve Caldwell in the penalty area only to see his shot smothered.

Al Habsi saves Wigan once more. Sagna’s cross is laid back into Fabregas‘s path by Nasri but the away keeper beats away the shot.

In total Wigan have won just one and lost eight of their 11 Premier League games against Arsenal. That victory was 3-2 at the DW Stadium last season. Arsenal were 2-0 up with ten minutes left before Ben Watson (80), Titus Bramble (89) and Charles N’Zogbia (90) scored.

Mohamed Diame has been chasing shadows in the middle of the park and is penalised for a foul on Fabregas.

That goal was van Persie's first at the Emirates Stadium this season. The club have won their last five League home matches when he has scored – since a 1-1 draw with Liverpool in December 2008.

Al Habsi fumbles van Persie’s square ball after a mix-up with Steve Caldwell but claims at the second attempt.

Fabregas is flagged offside after a long ball over the top from Song but he looks level with the Wigan backline static once more.

A deep free-kick into the penalty area is headed clear by Steve Gohouri under pressure.

Arsenal have dropped five points from winning positions in their last two Premier League games against Wigan but they need to offer more going forward if they are to improve that stat.

Fabregas and Nasri look to play a 1-2 in the penalty area but the ball is hacked clear.

Steve Caldwell had his hand up for offside but van Persie was level with the left-back Figueroa.

GOAL ARSENAL! Song threads the ball through to Robin van Persie and the in-form Dutch striker slams the ball past the advancing Al Habsi from 10 yards.

No title-winning side has dropped more than 10 points at home in a whole season since Arsenal in 2001-02. The Gunners have dropped 11 already at the Emirates.

Ronnie Stam, normally a full-back, is playing in an advanced role on the left side of midfield but is unable to latch on to a long ball. Not even a hint of an effort on goal from Wigan.

Walcott’s low free-kick is gathered comfortably by Al Habsi.

Caldwell upends Fabregas on the left edge of the penalty area.

A surging run from Walcott down the right and he pulls back to Fabregas who is denied from eight yards by a wonderful block from Gary Caldwell with the shot looping off the skipper and over the crossbar.

Arsenal have won all eight home matches in all competitions against Wigan and you can see why on the basis of the opening 15 minutes. Pretty much one-way traffic.

Bacary Sagna gets past Ben Watson but Figueroa comes across to cover.
