50 - More pressure: City have their backs to the wall again - Hleb toys with Petrov but Dunne blocks his cross

46 - Early chance: Adebayor's shot deflects wide

Second half: The visitors get us started

27 - Petrov again: The Bulgarian swings the left foot again, but once more he's off target

21 - Elano chance: Gilberto backed off giving Elano space, but his low shot lacks power

18 - Arsenal sub: Sagna fails to recover so Denilson comes on and Flamini goes to right back

18 - Waste from Mpenza: Ireland's delightful pass frees Mpenza but his first-time shot is poor

15 - Yellow card: Hamann goes right through the back of Van Persie and deserves his booking

13 - Sagna down: The Arsenal defender his hurt in a hefty collision with team-mate Flamini, but he should continue

10 - Weak finish: Fabregas volleys but doesn't connect and Schmeichel catches the looping ball

10 - Petrov chance: Johnson breaks through the centre and plays in Petrov, but the Bulgarian's drive is off target

8 - Toure tackle: Petrov plays in Elano but Toure is alert to the danger

5 - Gilberto at the back: Senderos was due to play for Arsenal but suffered an ankle injury in the warm-up, so Gilberto has been pressed into action at the back

4 - RVP over: Van Persie takes aim from 30 yards but his drive is always rising

2 - Schmeichel clears: Toure's long ball is aimed at Adebayor but Schmeichel races out and heads clear
