41 mins: Otamendi tries to tackle Otamendi, misses and seems to have hurt his ankle in the process.

42 mins: Sané does very well on the right, works space, crosses, and Gabriel gets just in front of De Bruyne to turn it behind for a corner.

Manchester City 0-1 Arsenal
Finally City come to life. Ok, still no shots on goal but Leroy Sane gets behind the Arsenal back four on the right before his dangerous cross is put behind at the near post by Nacho Monreal.

Alexis Sanchez has been holding his ankle following a foul on Nicolas Otamendi. Worth keeping an eye on but he doesn't look too hurt at the moment.

44 mins: Cech catches a cross, then thinks about throwing it out to his right, stops, looks to his left, thinks about throwing it there, stops, thinks about doing it again, stops and finally kicks clear. 50 minutes to go.

45 mins: A very lovely little passing move on the left from Arsenal is halted just when it threatened to get really interesting, when Monreal is caught marginally offside.

Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Burnley
Once again it's all Tottenham but only a magnificent save from Tom Heaton denies Harry Kane from helping Spurs turn the game around.

Alli had played in his team-mate but Kane's shot was blocked by the heel of the Burnley stopper.

Half time: Manchester City 0-1 Arsenal
And that is half time. “Guardiola’s men concede an early goal and are having trouble tackling ? This stomach-turning start must have City fans reaching for the Pep-to-abysmal,” puns Peter Oh.

Toure heads an effort goalwards.

When I wrote that Otamendi tackled Otamendi earlier, it was in fact Sánchez who was doing the tackling. He seemed to recover.
