It's the first of two meetings in the next eight days for the clubs - they meet again tomorrow week for the FA Cup semi-final.

Before the game, a minute's silence was observed for former Arsenal player David Rocastle, who lost his battle against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma this morning at the age of 33.

As well as the tribute at Highbury, a minute’s silence was also being held at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea, for whom he made 40 appearances in the mid-1990s, were at home to Middlesbrough.
