Arsenal v Coventry

Arsenal are set to maintain their 100% record in opening Premier League matches as defending champions. One of their three previous such wins also came in a battle against the previous season's second-tier champions. Then, they defeated Nottingham Forest 2-1 at Highbury in August 1998.

In short: no, they can't. Torp's inswinging delivery is overhit and floats behind for a goal-kick. At the other end, as four additional minutes are indicated by the fourth official, Merino shoots from the edge of the box. His low drive is creeping into the bottom corner, so Rushworth has to get down to block it.

The Sky Blues have another chance to grab a late consolation, as they're awarded a free-kick when Mosquera bundles over Awoniyi. Torp is stood over the ball. Can they make the most of this opportunity...?

CHANCE FOR RUDONI! It's Coventry's most glaring opportunity of the entire match. The midfielder makes a late run into the box to meet Torp's inswinging cross. Under pressure from Hincapie, though, he can only send a tame header straight into Raya's grateful arms.

The Emirates has now been Arsenal's home for 20 years. During that time, only two teams have ever won on their first league visit here: West Ham in April 2007, and Hull City in September 2008. That's yet another statistic that highlights just how tall an order Coventry were faced with today.

Substitution

Coventry also make a change. It's a second Sky Blues debut for Hamer since his return to the club, as he replaces Tchaouna.
