Arsenal vs Leicester City
VAR is looking at a possible penalty to Arsenal after that last chance. When Partey headed his effort towards goal, Soyuncu had his arm outstretched and it seems to have brushed his hand on the way to goal.

GREAT SAVE AND OFF THE LINE! Odegaard's free-kick causes Leicester a whole host of problems. White pokes it towards goal and Schmeichel pushes it away before Partey follows in with a header, but Thomas gets back to the line to clear the danger.
Arsenal vs Leicester City
Martinelli has been directly involved in eight goals in 18 Premier League appearances this season (five goals, three assists), two more than he registered in his first two campaigns in the competition (six in 28 games).
Arsenal vs Leicester City
GOOD SAVE! It's a brilliant run from Martinelli, who cuts inside and wriggles his way past Albrighton at the byline before pulling it back to Lacazette, but his shot is blocked. It comes back to Saka, who volleys a shot on goal, and Schmeichel stretches to punch it away.
Arsenal vs Leicester City
There's too much on the pass out to Xhaka, but he misjudges where he's standing and catches the ball before it goes out. The free-kick goes Leicester's way, but the visitors aren't happy that there isn't a card for the midfielder.

Arsenal take a short free-kick down the right, and when Odegaard lifts it into the box, it's cleared by Amartey. It gets as far as White, who tries to chip it over the top for Lacazette, but it bounces straight out.
