Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal and Everton's Premier League clash, as the battle for the European places heats up. Kick off 19:45 UK.

By the way, both these sides will play Cardiff City at least twice next season - the Welsh side have been promoted! An interesting renewal of hostilities with Cardiff beckons...

The whistle goes and it's a goalless draw, hard fought and entertaining but no goals. Arsenal stay third.

Another Everton change to waste some time - Mirallas comes off for Oviedo.

Gibson swings the free-kick towards Fellaini, but where he goes so does Mertesacker, who clears.

Arsenal break now but Monreal hits his cross straight at an opponent. Now Naismith gives chase and draws a foul from Monreal, who is booked.

EVERTON SUB: Anichebe strolls off for Naismith.

Anichebe fires well over after Monreal backed off on the edge of the D.

Everton clear that free-kick as four minutes added time are called.

Baines fouls Oxlade-Chamberlain and Arsenal have a free-kick on the right. Monreal comes on while they wait.

Arsenal have it back after a spell of Everton possession. Arteta leads the charge, Podolski puts him in but a boot from Coelman plays it back to Howard, who clears!

Everton counter and Mirallas could be in here but his touch is heavy and Arsenal clear.

Everton should clear but Mirallas, in his eagerness to play it out of defence, almost gives it to Gibbs before hacking it clear. Arsenal reckon Coleman may have handled in that move.

Arteta wide to the Ox, he puts it further to the right for Sagna, who elects to adopt a short game...

Another corner to Arsenal on the left but Fellaini heads away from his goal line.

Fellaini does well to buy a free-kick off Ramsey. Everton under serious pressure now!

Great run by Podolski but his cross is blocked by a backtracking Coleman.

Arsenal corner now, which results in a goal kick as Mertesacker heads off target.

Everton break as Mirallas releases Jelavic, but the Croat's pass was overhit past Coleman on the overlap.

GIROUD BLASTS OVER! Great low cross by Gibbs, Giroud did well initially to skip in and out of Jagielka but his rising drive rose a bit too much!

Arsenal break though and have men over as Oxlade-Chamberlain races down the right, acres of space after a super ball from Cazorla but his low cross is somehow slid behind by a combination of a diving Coleman and Distin. Would have been a tap in for a sliding Giroud.
