90+3 min Drinkwater’s free-kick hits his own man King, and that’s the end of the match!

19:19

90+2 min Mahrez almost wins it for Leicester with a brilliant run and shot that is saved by Cech! The rebound comes to Musa, who can’t decide whether to shoot or pass and ends up doing neither. Leicester keep the ball alive and Holding is booked for clattering Ulloa in the D. The free-kick might be the last kick of the game.

90 min There will be three added minutes. The game is suddenly wide open.

1d ago19:16

89 min Yep, that should have been a penalty; there was a tangle of legs and Bellerin clearly fouled Musa.

1d ago19:15

88 min The substitute Musa dupes Bellerin superbly on the left and breaks into the box before going over as Bellerin challenges him from behind. That looked a penalty, but Mark Clattenburg disagreed.

19:13

86 min Leicester bring on Ahmed Musa for the excellent Albrighton.

19:10

83 min The outrushing Schmeichel makes a fine save to deny Ozil, who tried to slide it past him from a narrow angle after an excellent pass from Sanchez. Arsenal are well on top now thanks to the probing of Ozil and especially Wilshere.

1d ago19:07

80 min WIlshere’s dangerous low cross is hooked clear by Simpson, an important intervention at the far post, and moments later Morgan makes a superb sliding block from Walcott’s low shot. I think that was going in.

1d ago19:04

78 min An old man is carefully applying some kind of cream to Olivier Giroud’s nipples, which can mean only one thing: he’s about to replace Oxlade-Chamberlain.

1d ago19:03

76 min “Dodginess of provision has denied me Leicester-Arsenalmoving images for a while, Rob,” says Charles Antaki. “But your comments suggest that the game has had a bit less incident than Barcelona 6-2 Betis. Perhaps Giroud ought to come on and change all that?”

19:01

75 min Ozil introduces himself to Fuchs with a delicious Cruyff turn on the right. That starts a move that ends with Walcott shooting fairly tamely at Schmeichel with his left foot.

19:00

73 min A double change for Arsenal, with Wilshere and Ozil replacing Xhaka and Cazorla. Xhaka played well on his full debut.

1d ago18:57

70 min Vardy misses an excellent chance! Albrighton robbed Xhaka and put Vardy through in the inside-right channel. He scooted into the area but sliced his shot wide of the near post from eight yards. He was under pressure from Koscielny, who got back superbly, but he should at least have worked Cech.

1d ago18:56

69 min Sanchez runs onto a long pass down the right, and Schmeichel hares out of his box to clear the danger with a diving header that goes out for a throw-in.

1d ago18:55

68 min Arsenal earn a corner on the left. It’s cleared and Leicester break through Mahrez, who tries a killer pass to Vardy that is intercepted by the last man.

18:54

67 min A Leicester substitution: Okazaki off, Ulloa on, with instructions to enliven this muck.

18:53

66 min “It’s a game that needs a goal,” says the BT Sportcommentator Darren Fletcher. He is not wrong.

1d ago18:49

63 min Leicester have had much more possession since half-time, and look the likelier scorers. Mahrez is starting to do good things with the ball.

1d ago18:45

58 min Oxlade-Chamberlain lofts an inviting pass back to Bellerin, whose rising half-volley from 25 yards is comfortably patted down by Schmeichel. It was a lovely strike but too straight.

1d ago18:43

57 min Drinkwater wins a corner for Leicester, who are having an excellent spell. Albrighton’s outswinging corner is headed away by Walcott, who thus reminds us that he’s on the pitch.

18:42

55 min The sublime Mahrez beats Coquelin with a stepover and is taken down just outside the area. Coquelin, already booked, is pretty lucky not to be given a second yellow. Mahrez curls the resulting free-kick just over the top, though Cech had it covered.

18:39

52 min Mendy comes back on and goes straight down. His game is over, and he could be out for a while as that looks like a ligament injury. That’s a sad way to end his league debut. Andy King comes on to replace him.

1d ago18:38

51 min Mendy is being helped towards the touchline. He wants to continue so the physios are testing out his leg while play goes on.

1d ago18:37

49 min Mendy gets his foot stuck as he intercepts a pass and goes down in considerable pain. That could be ligament damage; it looked pretty nasty and Andy King is being readied.

1d ago18:35

48 min Vardy hunts down a backpass to Cech, who calmly beats his man with a dragback. People are just openly ridiculing Joe Hart now.

Updated at 6.35pm BST

18:34

47 min A reminder that both teams have some lively options from the bench, including Musa, Ozil, Giroud and Gray. We can only hope one of them might do something.

18:33

46 min Peep peep! The second half is under way. As it stands, both teams are five points behind the Manchester clubs. Has Claudio Ranieri taken Leicester as far as he can?

1d ago18:31

“Wenger is more like the Beatles,” says Tom Murdock. “Ten years of glorious, unprecedented success, followed by tragedy, mediocrity and thoughts of what might have been.”

So which player is the Frog Chorus?

1d ago18:19

“Arsene Wenger is the Rolling Stones of football management in England,” says Justin Kavanagh. “A revolutionary start bringing a whole new style from abroad, followed by a glorious peak of success, then the long, slow decline into predictable if respectable economic success. Claudio Ranieri on the other hand, is Leonard Cohen, currently enjoying a miraculous second coming.”

So which one’s Wilson Phillips?
