Full-time. Arsenal 0-1 Manchester City. A dominant performance from the champions-elect, but the Gunners will be disappointed having switched off early on for the only goal and then failed to create any real chances. Onto Benfica in midweek. We'll see you again soon.

81'- CHANCE! City come close to a second through Jesus who turns just wide inside the area. Holding went down with a head injury in the build-up after a clash with Cancelo, and he is replaced by Luiz. 0-1

73'- Double change for Arsenal as Lacazette and Smith Rowe replace Odegaard and Pepe. 0-1

56'- CHANCE! Sterling's blocked shot falls for Gundogan who takes aim from the edge of the area, but Leno gets down to his left to make a smart save. 0-1

48'- CHANCE! De Bruyne so close to making it 2-0 to City with an outrageous chip from the edge of the box, but it sails just past Leno's far post.

47'- First chance of the half goes to City as Zinchenko blazes well over inside the area. 0-1

46'- Back underway at the Emirates. 0-1

Half-time. Arsenal 0-1 Manchester City. Sterling's early goal has the away side on their way to an 18th game unbeaten after a dominant performance, but the Gunners grew into the game and finished the half strongly.

44'- CHANCE! Best opening for Arsenal so far. Bellerin heads on a crossfield pass to Pepe who looks to give it back to the defender inside the area. Gundogan gets back to intercept but it breaks for Pepe who hits the side netting. 0-1

39'- Arsenal making a few more forrays forward as we close in on half-time. Tierney is found in space on the left and he looks to pick out Aubameyang in the middle, but Stones makes an important clearance at the near post. 0-1

34'- Xhaka loses out and City break in numbers. The ball is slipped through to Gundogan but his touch is poor inside the area and Holding makes an important tackle. 0-1

30'- CHANCE! Ball breaks for Tierney in the box and Arsenal have a rare shot, but Ederson makes a comfortable save. Still pretty much all City though. 0-1

13'- Man City seeing all of the ball here. It honestly looks like training ground stuff at the Emirates. 0-1

8'- Tierney makes an important block inside the penalty area as Mahrez looks to weave his way through. 0-1

6'- CHANCE! De Bruyne splits the Arsenal defence with a pass through to Sterling, but he can't sort his feet out under pressure and Leno smothers. 0-1

2'- GOAL Man City. Just the start Arsenal didn't want and the league leaders are ahead. Mahrez makes room to get in a cross and he picks out an unmarked Sterling who nods the ball past Leno from six yards. Holding and Bellerin have to do better there. 0-1

1'- Underway at the Emirates. 0-0

Teams are out at the Emirates. Arsenal vs Man City is moments away.
