Tottenham Hotspur – Arsenal

1. Well Arsenal new boy Andrei Arshavin makes the bench, despite not playing a match since the Russian league finished in November. Arsene Wenger thinks he can get 20 minutes out of the forward.

2. Robbie Keane goes stright back into the Tottenham team and has also been named captain. He will be eager to prove himself after the Liverpool debacle.

3. 1'

   Arsenal get the umpteenth north London derby underway, kicking from right to left in their famous red and white strip.

4. 2'

   Tottenham win an early corner. All the big boys are up from the back but Song heads clear at the near post for Arsenal.

5. 3'

   Another corner for Spurs. This time Modric's cross goes right through the middle of the box but neither Arsenal or Spurs are able to get a telling touch.

6. 4'

   Good start for Spurs. Woodgate chops down Van Persie as Arsenal look to get some possession... they are struggling to get into this game.

7. 5'

   Arsenal indulge in some trademark interplay but Palacios eventually breaks it up for Spurs.

8. 6'

   Van Perise holds off his defender and plays a lovely pass into the path of Ebu, who drives into the box and shoots wide of the far post. It was a half chance.

9. 7'

   Lennon breezes past Clichy on the right but his left foot shot is straight at Almunia. It was a good save but Lennon should have done better there.

10. 8'

    Palacios collects a knock down from Pavlyuchenko and hits a long-range shot that is easily collected by Almunia.

11. 9'

    Not much quality but plenty of blood and thunder at the moment.

12. 10'

    Eboue makes a mess of his cross after some good work by Nasri down the left flank.

13. 11'

    The ref lets a couple of tough challenges go unpunished and that is good to see in a derby game.

14. 12'

    Adebayor mis-controls and Eboue sprints onto the loose ball and into the box. He cuts it back for Adebayor but Cudicini makes the save at close range.

15. 14'

    Toure makes three clearences in a row, mostly from bad backpasses from his team-mates.

16. 15'

    The ball drops to Pavlyuchenko on the penalty spot but the Russian striker hurries his half-volley shot and blasts the ball over the bar.

17. 16'

    The ref wants to talk to Sagna and tells Eboue to get lost. Eboue comes back to have another word with the ref and gets booked. Pure stupidity from the Gunners' player.

18. 17'

    Almunia looks like he is struggling to cope with the low winter sun in his eyes. Tottenham have not yet tested him with some high balls into the box.

19. 19'

    Jenas breaks for Spurs but Pavlyuchenko runs wide and Keane sticks to the left flank so he has nobody in the box to pass to.

20. 20'

    Modric dribbles into the box and goes to ground under a challenge from Clichy. It was a clean tackle and the ref waves away the muted penalty claims.

21. 21'

    Jenas is really trying to get things going in the middle of the pitch for Spurs but just doesn't seem to have the quality to get things going... as highlighted by his scuffed shot.

22. 22'

    Keane is tripped by Denilson and Spurs have the chance to work a set piece. Modric whips in a cross and Woodgate gets his head to the ball but can't direct it towards goal.

23. 24'

    Pavlyuchenko is caught offside.

24. 25'

    Dawson is slow to get up after winning a header against Adebayor but he looks okay to continue.

25. 26'

    Pavlyuchenko loses the ball to Toure, who gives possession away to Modric, who mis-places his pass. That is the story of the last few minutes of this match.

26. 27'

    Clichy steals a pass off the toe of Clichy and races into the box. The winger scuffs his shot and the ball bobbles past the far post.

27. 28'

    Cudicini cuts-out a cross from Eboue from the right.

28. 29'

    Modric spins off Song and finds space for a shot. His effort from 25-yards is palmed wide by Almunia.

29. 30'

    Corluka is caught in possession by Nasri on the touchline. Nasri fires the ball across the face of goal but there is no Arsenal team-mate to tap it in.

30. 31'

    Gallas gives away a freekick in the centre-circle.

31. 32'

    Palacios attempts a one-two with Lennon but his return ball is too heavy and Arsenal clear.

32. 33'

    Adebayor chases a through-ball but pulls up clutching his hamstring. That should be game over for the striker.

33. 34'

    Bendtner is warming up on the touchline. It is too early in the match for an unfit Arshavin.

34. 35'

    Modric goes down off the ball following a clash with Eboue. The ref is walking over with a yellow card....

35. 36'

    ...Eboue has been booked already but the ref shows the card to Modric.

36. 37'

    Eboue has escaped. No he hasn't! Eboue is shown a yellow card too and he is off. Arsenal down to ten men.

37. 38'

    The Tv replay shows Eboue kicked out at Modric when on the floor and he deserved the second yellow card.

38. 39'

    Back to the football... Lennon wins a throw for Spurs deep in Arsenal territory.

39. 40'

    Keane is too ponderous on tyhe ball and is tackled by Sagna.

40. 41'

    Bendtner has replaced Adebayor and Arsenal are shuffling the formation to fit him in.

41. 42'

    Lennon is caught by Clichy and now he gets booked.

42. 43'

    Tottenham work the left flank but Arsenal defend really well and then break on the attack. But with only one man up front the move breaks down.

43. 44'

    Bendtner holds up the ball and Van Persie makes a quick recovery from the blow to the head he is pretending he got as he sees a chance to score. Van Persie shoots from a tight angle and Cudicini saves.

44. 45'

    Palcios hits a swerving and dipping shot that Almunia palms over the bar. Spurs have a chance to get something before the break from the corner, but it is a poor delivery.

45. 45'

    Well the whistle goes for half-time and Arsene Wenger will be delighted that Arsenal have not conceded a goal.

46. 45'

    Tottenham have had the better of the first-half but despite Eboue being sent off and Adebayor going off injured they have not been able to score.

47. 46'

    Tottenham get the second-half underway against ten-man Arsenal.

48. 47'

    Pavlyuchenko hits a cross-field pass on the turn. Great idea but poor execution.

49. 48'

    Denilson concedes a freekick in a dangerous central position....

50. 48'

    ...Pavlyuchenko and Modric stand over the ball. Pavlyuchenko takes it and hits his shot high and wide. Very poor.

51. 49'

    Pavlyuchenko leaves Toure on his bum, drives into the box but then curls his shot over the bar. To not even hit the target is unforgivable.

52. 50'

    Song does really well to win the ball back for the Gunners; hussling Moderic and then tackling Pavlyuchenko.

53. 51'

    Nasri breaks down the right but his cross is too high for Arsenal's lone striker Van Persie.

54. 52'

    Lennon races into the box and rides a tackle from Clichy (if he had gone down he would have got a penalty), cuts the ball back for Pavlyuchenko, who misses yet again.

55. 53'

    Modric seems to have more freedom this half - he is popping up all over the place. His cross finds Lennon at the back post but the winger's volley is straight into the turf.

56. 54'

    Great tracking back from Lennon to tackle Nasri.

57. 55'

    Keane - yes he is still on the pitch - drops deep to win the ball back for Spurs.

58. 56'

    Keane now races into the box and gets his head to a Lennon cross. The Irishman's header is just inches over the bar. Good football from Spurs.

59. 58'

    There is only one team in this at the moment. Modric and Lennon are pulling all the strings but it remains 0-0.

60. 59'

    Corluka pushes forward and gives the ball away. Arsenal look to break but lack the numbers to do so.

61. 61'

    Modric is still looking to unlock the Arsenal defence and he berates fullback Ekotto for not going on the overlap on the left flank.

62. 62'

    Jeans is pushing further forward as Spurs look for that little spark to get a goal. Will they get caught on the counter-attack?

63. 63'

    Harry Redknapp has seen enough and is ready to make a change. Bent comes on to replace Pavlyuchenko, who should have scored earlier in the match.

64. 64'

    Denilson wins the ball from Jenas but his hoof up the pitch only goes to a Spurs player.

65. 65'

    Modric races into the area to chase a through-pass. The little Croat hits the deck as Almunia collects the ball at his feet. A good save by the keeper.

66. 66'

    Arsenal get far enough forward to win a corner. Van Persie collects the ball on the left of the area, spins and hits a shot just over the bar.

67. 67'

    Bendtner gets a nudge in the back from Dawson. Arsenal win a freekick and the chance to draw breath.

68. 68'

    Nasri wins a corner.

69. 69'

    Song gets free of Palacios as the corner comes in and clips a shot just wide of the far post. That was a good chance for Arsenal and a warning for Spurs.

70. 70'

    Jens prods a pass to Keane, who controls the ball on his chest and drags his volley wide. Almunia had no chance but Keane couldn't find the target.

71. 71'

    Song is working very hard to protect his back four and so far so good.

72. 72'

    Song somes off second best in a headed challenge with Bent. A freekick is awarded.

73. 73'

    Keane strikes a cross against Sagna's arm and appeals for hand ball. The ref waves away his claim.

74. 74'

    Redknapp makes another change. Corluka is replaced by the more attacking fullback Chimbonda.

75. 75'

    Nasri attempts a clever chip over the Spurs defence for Van Persie, but Woodgate just manages to jump high enough to divert the pass with his head.

76. 76'

    Palacios wins a freekick. Modric will whip it into the box....

77. 77'

    ... Almunia rushes off his line to punch away Modric's cross.

78. 78'

    Van Persie has a little flick at Lennon. The ref sees it but shows leniency.

79. 79'

    Van Persie palys a defence splitting pass for Bendtner, who is caught offside.

80. 80'

    Chimbonda provides an overlap down the right. He receives the ball from Lennon and then hits his cross into the side-netting.

81. 81'

    Into the last ten minutes now and Arsenal are still hanging on for a point.

82. 82'

    Keane is to busy appealing for a corner to tackle Almunia, who kept the ball in, and the keeper clears.

83. 83'

    The ball won't drop for Spurs in the box. Bent can't quite get his head to the ball and Lennon's volley is charged down.

84. 84'

    Ekotto crosses from the left. Bent shows his desire win the ball by heading right through Clichy's head to get an effort on goal.

85. 85'

    Both players now have head injuries, although Clichy has come off worst with blood pouring from his head.

86. 86'

    Spurs make a change. Lennon goes off and is replaced by Taarabt.

87. 86'

    Arsenal do likewise and replace the injured Clichy with Gibbs, who is making his Premier League debut.

88. 87'

    The game has become scrappy following the injury break and that will suit Arsenal more than Spurs.

89. 88'

    Keane, Lennon and Chimbonda are all out on the left so when Keane eventually crosses the ball there is nobody in the box.

90. 89'

    Arsenal are looking to steal a winner but the ball won't drop on the edge of the box and by hook or by crook Spurs manage to hack the ball clear.

91. 90'

    Bendtner picks up the ball on the right of the box and lines up a shot. His effort is heading for the top corenr but Cudicini makes a great save.

92. 90'

    Now Spurs are on the attack. Modric has possession in the same position as Bendtner was in the opposite box. Modric attempts to slide his shot under Almunia but the keeper makes the save.

93. 90'

    Bent flicks the ball in from the touchline. Taarabt collects possesion and scuffs a poor shot wide of the goal.

94. 91'

    That is the last action of the game. Lots of effort from Spurs but no goals.

95. 91'

    Ten-man Arsenal will be happier with the point on the day but it is a chance missed to close the gap on Chelsea. Spurs meanwhile have moved one point further away from the relegation zone.
