Into the final 10 minutes...

Arsenal still hold a slender lead here after Eze's strike in the 66th minute. Is there time for some late drama, or will the Gunners hold on?

Another injury blow for Arsenal...

After losing Trossard in the first half, Calafiori has gone down with a problem and is unable to continue. He is replaced by Bukayo Saka.

HT: Mansfield Town 0-1 Arsenal

GOAAAL! THERE'S THE OPENER!

It goes in Arsenal's favour. It's taken until the 41st minute, but Martinelli finds Madueke on the edge of the box and he curls one into the net.

Moments earlier, Arsenal had been forced into a change as Trossard was replaced by Hincapie.

POST!

Arsenal agonisingly close to an opener as Madueke's corner hits the woodwork.

Mansfield 0-0 Arsenal

30 minutes played...

No goals here yet! A pretty fast start and both sides have registered a handful of attempts on target.

Arsenal, though, will likely have too much for their opponent as the game goes on, so Mansfield could do with getting a goal sooner rather than later.

Mansfield 0-0 Arsenal

ANOTHER CHANCE!

Trossard goes close again for Arsenal after he was set up by Dowman. This time he can't keep his attempt on target.

Still goalless.

CLOSE!

Trossard is denied by the goalkeeper from point blank range. Arsenal pushing for an opener here.

SAVE!

Mansfield's Tyler Roberts attempts to chip Kepa Arrizabalaga with an ambitious effort but it's comfortably saved by the Arsenal goalkeeper.

CHANCE!
