End of 2nd Half
90+3'
FT: Arsenal 2-2 Man City. Mustafi's second-half header rescues a point for the Gunners as they twice come from behind to hold City. Aguero looked to have put City on course for third place after Walcott had cancelled out Sane's early opener, but they remain fourth. Arsenal are seven points further back in sixth having played a game less.
90+3'
City screaming for a penalty after Monreal appeared to handle the ball in his own area. Late drama!
90+2'
Ozil swings a right-wing free kick into the mix, but Fernandinho powerfully heads clear of the area.
90+1'
Three minutes added.
90'
Navas drifts in from the right but flashes a shot well wide of the far post. It's looking like honours will be even here...

Arsenal pressing. Bellerin tucks it back for Iwobi who smashes over the top from 18 yards.
86'
Silva drags a shot wide of Ospina's left-hand post from 25 yards.
85'
DID YOU KNOW? If all goals scored after the 85th minute in the Premier League this season were removed, Arsenal would be seven points worse off (more than any other side) and below WBA & Everton in the table (8th).
84'
Arsenal looking the more likely to net a winner here. They look the hungrier.
83'
Guardiola has suffered five league defeats as Manchester City boss this season - he's never lost six in a single league campaign as a manager. Can Arsenal make today a first?
82'
WILL WE HAVE A SUPER SUB? These two sides have scored the most goals through substitutes in the Premier League this season – Arsenal (8) and Manchester City (7).
80'
Ozil looks to the sky in frustration. The German seems to opt out of taking on Caballero after a mistake by the City defence seemed to put him in on goal.
79'
Still City pop the ball about. A win would move them nine points behind Chelsea with a visit to Stamford bridge coming up on Wednesday. Surely they need more urgency?
78'
ARSENAL CHANGE: Welbeck off, Iwobi on.
