The Championship: Following his side’s scoreless draw with Preston, Burnley manager Scott Parker had a long discussion with the match referee, drawing his attention to an exchange of words between his midfielder Hannibal Mejbri and Preston striker Milutin Osmajic that left the Burnley player very upset.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Parker refuses to divulge the details of either his conversation with the referee or the alleged exchange between the players but says that Hannibal was left “hurt” and “very emotional”. He says that after reporting the incident to the referee “we’ll have due process now and see what happens”.

Championship: Kick-off in Millwall’s match against West Brom has been delayed until 3.15pm due to traffic congestion around the Den, while Portsmouth have scored a late, late second goal against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium, where it’s 2-0 to the visitors and they’re still playing added time.

Mikel Merino: In a post-match interview with TNT Sports, the scorer of Arsenal’s two goals dedicates both strikes to his wife, saying he forgot to get her anything for Valentine’s Day. “I think she will appreciate them more than a rose or chocolates,” he says with possibly misplaced confidence. I suppose he’ll find when he gets home.

Leicester City 0-0 Arsenal

The second half is under way at the King Power Stadium and we can but hope it is more entertaining than the extremely boring 45 minutes that preceded it.

Of course Leicester will be happy with the way things are going, but Arsenal have offered next to nothing. You can follow the action with Rob Smyth …
