Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal's match against Southampton at The Emirates.

And that's it from the Emirates.

The last few minutes are passng with little of note.

Four of the added stuff.

Win here - which they will - and Arsenal are four points clear at the top of the table.

Arsenal passing their way to full-time.

Giroud with his tail up – he gets in behind but tries to shoot from fully forty yards but it is high and wide.

GOOOOAL!! That’s it. Giroud gets the second from the spot and Arsenal are sitting pretty at the top.

Penalty to Arsenal for a tug in the box. Fonte on Mertesacker. Giroud over it.

Arsenal come again and win a corner.

Decent challenge from Wilshere, who feeds Ramsey. Ramsey in turn opens his body to find Walcott who takes aim from the edge. It is well-struck but whistles past the post.

Monreal for Ozil for the home side.

The corner is cleared and Walcott is in a footrace with Boruc and the Pole just gets there first to head clear.

Rodriguez picks a loose ball from Giroud and gallops forward. He evades a couple of challenges before Koscielny clears for the corner.

Koscielny lunges at the feet of Lambert to block a shot that looked destined for the corner.

Arsenal have certainly been the better side but this could be turning into a serious test of the title credentials – title winners win these games. Southampton coming into it a bit now.

And it was in Arteta’s area that Osvaldo steamed through a minute ago. Maybe Southampton will capitalise on that?

Osvaldo collects a Lambert flick and somehow gets past both Wilshere and Mertesacker before shooting but it is tame and Szczesny collects.

He can’t play on and Rosicky is on in his stead.

We have a slight stoppage so Arteta can receive some treatment.

Southampton have Wilshere blocked in but Davis, for reasons only known to him, hacks the England man down and the hosts have a free-kick.
