FULL TIME: Arsenal show character to come back, and City draw again. An entertaining game of football and both sides will feel they had the chances to win it. Thanks for joining me for it.

Toure picked up for a foul throw and Arsenal have the ball for the last few seconds of the match.

Chance for Arsenal here as Javi Garcia booked for a cynical challenge on Jenkinson as Arsenal burst forward.

Three added minutes to play - meanwhile Gervinho comes off, with Coquelin replacing him.

GERVINHO! He did all the hard work, finding the space, and freeing himself for a shot on goal - but his shot from the edge of the box is a stinker. Well over the bar. If he could finish he'd be a terrific striker. It hasn't happened today.
89'
Arsenal ending the match as they begun it - stroking the ball around with confidence and patience.
88'
Superb touch from Koscielny to flick his way past Tevez and get Arsenal on the move. Terrific stuff.
87'
Walcott and Giroud combine, only for Walcott to past the ball into empty space. Niether side settling for a draw - there's still all to play for.
86'
Laurent Koscielny scored in his last Premier League match as well - against West Brom at the end of last season.

City make their final change - Balotelli on for Aguero.

AGUERO SHOULD SCORE! It was made by Kompany, who went close with an overhead kick which Mannone saved - Koscielny knocked it to Aguero on the rebound and should have struck, but it went just wide.
83'
Arsenal overturned a deficit to win at Manchester City only once before in the Premier League, the 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium in August 2003, when goals from Sylvain Wiltord and Freddie Ljungberg overturned Lauren's 10th-minute own goal. (Infostrada)

GOAL! ARSENAL LEVEL! KOSCIELNY SCORES! It was a terrific finish as the ball broke to him from the corner and he drilled into the roof of the net. No messing around from the Frenchman, and Arsenal deserve that leveller on the whole.

CAZORLA CLOSE! Terrific shot from just outside the box - Hart parries it, but only just over the bar. Corner.
81'
Silva tries a killer pace with the outside of the boot but Mertesacker cuts it off. Pressure building from the home side.

AGUERO CLOSE! City breaking at pace, with Toure charging through empty space in the middle. He has Aguero to his right and Tevez to his left - picks Aguero but perhaps too late as the Argentine has to snatch at his shot and sees it tipped around the post for a corner.
79'
High cross with plenty of curl from deep on the right by Walcott, but it's just too far for Gervinho. Out for a throw by the corner flag.
78'
Toure can break - Koscielny is out of position but does superbly to catch Tevez and rob him of possession.
