AND LET'S NOT FORGET... Arsenal are through to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup where they will face Aston Villa. Leeds made it tough but it's Henry and the Gunners who go through
90
'WELCOME HOME THIERRY': Supporters hold up a sign as Henry runs over to hug fitness trainer Tony Colbert - the man who kept him fit
Full Time IT'S ALL OVER: Henry raises his fists into the air and looks to the heavens and yells. What a moment for him.
90
WE'RE JUST SECONDS AWAY: Szczesny watches a shot fly harmlessly over and prepares for a goal kick
90
Yellow Card ARSHAVIN GOES IN THE BOOK: That was a tired challenge from Andrey but it was hardly malicious
90
INTO STOPPAGE TIME: We've got three minutes of them. In other words, three minutes from the fairytale coming true - Henry scoring the winner on his return
90
GREAT SAVE SZCZESNY! Townsend found Forssell, he spins and shoots and Wojciech pushes that away. Relief all round the Emirates
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
It was a good effort by Forssell but it was a nice height for Szczesny. Just a reminder of what could happen, though.
89
RAMSEY OVER THE BAR: Good pass from Arshavin towards Henry, he loses the header but Ramsey follows up. He could have played Henry in but opted for the volley and that sails over
Top Comments:
@herziz07 on Twitter says:
Loved Thierry's reaction, straight from the heart, shows how much he loves the club. So much passion!
88
ARSHAVIN DOWN: He's taken another knock but he bounces back up. Hats off to Andrey tonight - he's given it everything and just needs a bit more luck in front of goal
87
MIQUEL TO ARSHAVIN: Andrey bustles down the left and returns the favour but Miquel is challenged inside the box
86
TOWNSEND AT THE FAR POST: But the cross is too deep for him and he can't stop that drifting out of play
Top Comments:
@kwirirayi on Twitter says:
Alex Song has quietly chalked up so many assists so far this season
85
LEEDS NOT OUT OF THIS YET: The visitors are pushing on in search of an equaliser. Forssell will give them another attacking option

@cheeranjeet on Twitter says:
Boy my head is still reeling from the Henry goal. I'll probably dream about it tonight as well
83
ARSHAVIN GOES FOR GOAL: Song gets it to the Russian and he finds the side-netting. Andrey deserves a goal, he's worked incredibly hard tonight
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
Just look at Henry there. He reminds me of a young boy looking for a contract, who's just come on and is looking to impress.
82
Substitution LEEDS MAKE ANOTHER CHANCE: On comes Forssell, off goes Nunez
Top Comments:
@Mr_Taylor43 on Twitter says:
Think I just had a mini heart attack! What a legend!
81
PARTY POOPERS? Leeds come forward and that is a great chance but Szczesny saves. Time to focus, Arsenal
80
A CELEBRATION TO SAVOUR: Henry ran to the bench to embrace Arsene Wenger with the whole team racing to catch up - even Szczesny was over there to enjoy that one!
Top Comments:
@StephanLoPresti on Twitter says:
The legendary moment when Thierry Henry is back on the pitch with the #Arsenal shirt, this is magic
79
HENRY SCORES WITH VIRTUALLY HIS FIRST TOUCH! Alex Song picks out the Arsenal legend, he controls and then finishes with the coolness and precision we know so well. Emirates goes crazy - what a moment!
Top Comments:
Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
We've been talking for months about Arsenal creating chances and not finishing them. That's what Thierry Henry has just done, incredible.
78
GOAL! - Thierry Henry 1 : 0 THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
You just can't make this up. What an absolutely fantastic finish that was.
77
CORNER TO ARSENAL: Arteta will swing this one in from the right... it's headed out for a throw on the opposite flank.

Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
That was Leeds' first shot on target tonight and only their second on target. It reminds me a bit of Wolves...
76
ACROBATIC KOSCIELNY: Excellent clearance from Laurent as Leeds look to play it over the top
74
Substitution LEEDS MAKE A CHANGE: Off comes Becchio and on comes McCormack
Top Comments:
@PerssonOskar on Twitter says:
No one is considering the fact that it's still 0-0 and we DON'T want a replay at Elland Road!
73
ARSHAVIN LOFTS IT IN... and it's knocked behind for a corner. Walcott takes it, half-cleared and then headed behind for another corner. Arsenal cranking up the pressure - but Henry has not touched it yet!
Top Comments:
@ibopishak on Twitter says:
David Beckham in the stands to cheer for old pal Thierry Henry. What a lovely sight!
72
LEEDS CAN BREAK HERE: Arteta is dispossessed/fouled on the edge of the Leeds box but the ref gives nothing. The visitors make inroads but Clayton clatters into Koscielny and that's a free kick
71
WALCOTT WINS A FREE-KICK: It's floated in by Arteta towards Henry but Lonergan claims that. Thierry thinks he was held
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
It's great to see Henry back, but we don't want to just see the players passing to him because they feel they have to. They have to focus on the game and wait for the right opportunity.
70
HENRY OR NOT... this FA Cup tie is in the balance and we're 20 minutes from a replay. Arsenal need to find a goal if they don't want a trip to Elland Road
68
Substitution HERE COMES THIERRY! He replaces Chamakh and what a reception he gets. Amazing scenes at the Emirates
Top Comments:
@ijalijali on Twitter says:
Welcome home Thierry!
68
Substitution WALCOTT FIRST: He replaces Oxlade-Chamberlain
Top Comments:
@D_Dayamond on Twitter says:
And the King returns!
67
WE'RE STILL WAITING... The ball hasn't gone out since Henry came to the touchline. Arsenal press and the Ox shoots just wide!
65
HERE COMES THE KING! Henry is about to make his Arsenal 'debut'. He's on the touchline with Walcott and Wenger is there too to issue some late instructions
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
Well, here it comes. What can he do to change this game now? There's been such build-up from the supporters but we're still waiting for him to come on.
64
Yellow Card BOOKING: Andros Townsend kicks the ball away in disgust after he was denied the corner he felt he'd earned
Top Comments:
@NKhaole on Twitter says:
What's it gonna take for just one chance to be converted? Come on Gunners, make it happen!
63
THE OX GOES FOR GOAL! Good effort after fine build-up play from Ramsey. Lonergan gets a strong hand on it though and Leeds survive again
63
NASRI LOOKING ON: Suffice to say he wouldn't get the same reception Henry is going to get in a few moments
62
WAYWARD: Oxlade-Chamberlain gets in a great position to cross but that's an awful attempt. He went for pace but ended up skying it out of play
61
Substitution ON COMES BROWN: That's Michael Brown, and he replaces Vayrynen
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
It's been a much better second half from Arsenal to be fair. We criticised the first half but they have picked up the pace now.
60
SONG WITH THE TOE POKE: He's not really got forward much tonight, playing a disciplined game in front of his back four. But that's a half-chance for Song, and it rolls wide
Top Comments:
@fangunners on Twitter says:
Leeds playing the 10-0-0 formation I see.
59
HE HAS, YOU KNOW: But now he's returned to the touchline to continue his warm-up. We'll have to wait a little longer for his second debut
59
IS THERE A SUB ON THE WAY? Leeds are preparing someone, and has Henry just been called over?
Top Comments:
@w0rdup_ on Twitter says:
Can see a goal coming. Leeds must be shaking at the thought of Henry coming on...
58
THE OX CHIPS THE KEEPER... but that's headed over the bar by a defender. Arsenal piling on the pressure now and the home fans are much noisier in this second half

Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
Arsenal are showing a lot of class now, the goal is coming soon. The pressure is building and we have a cup tie on our hands now.
55
ARSHAVIN AGAIN! The Russian is so involved and he just needs the end product to cap an energetic display. This time Chamakh chests down and Arshavin screws his shot across the six-yard box
54
FINE SAVE LONERGAN! Chamberlain down the left, he cuts it back for Chamakh, he lays it off for Arteta and his side-footed effort is pushed aside. Excellent move and that's got the home fans going
Top Comments:
@Yessra_AO on Twitter says:
I'm wearing my #TH12 shirt waiting for him to come and score. #Arsenallive
53
ARTETA WITH THE KICK... Miquel gets up well to win the header and that's another corner. In it comes and Leeds clear this time
53
ANOTHER ARSENAL CORNER: Wonderful cross from Arshavin to Chamakh and a defender gets in just in time to clear
Top Comments:
@sumudigital on Twitter says:
I have to say that Chamakh holds up play very well!
52
ARSENAL BREAK QUICKLY: Miquel leads the charge and floats a perfect ball into Arshavin's path. He takes it on the volley but mistimes it and the ball bounces harmlessly wide. Pity
51
IN IT COMES... and Chamakh heads that clear at the near post
Top Comments:
Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
Football fans across England have really come out in force for the Third Round of the FA Cup this year.
50
TENACITY FROM ARSHAVIN: He bursts down the left, gets his shot away, it's blocked, he scurries back and makes the challenge... but Arteta loses out and Leeds break. Corner to the visitors now
49
CORNER TO ARSENAL: Arshavin collects Arteta's pass, his shot is blocked and kicked out for a corner. Arteta to take it... and this time Lonergan is decisive, punching clear and getting distance on it
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
There's a bit more pressure from Arsenal now. If we can keep the width then we should be able to make some space in that midfield area.
48
ARSENAL ON TOP: Good start to the second half from the home side. Leeds panicking at the back and Lonergan decides not to come... hacked clear just in time
47
CHAMBERLAIN ON THE MOVE: He cuts back inside and shoots left-footed but that rolls wide. Good positive play from the teenager though
Top Comments:
@Karleusaa on Twitter says:
THIERRY THIERRY THIERRY THIERRY!
46
WHAT A RECEPTION! Yossi Benayoun gets a standing ovation as he comes out to warm-up. And there's Henry just behind him. Oh, hang on...
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
A bit of pace injected into the game, that's what we need. It's a decent effort, so we'll see where this goes now.
Kick Off LEEDS GET US UP AND RUNNING: The visitors are attacking the Clock End, housing the travelling fans

@TairyHeskicles on Twitter says:
Bring Henry on. Enough said.

@stelmarkou on Twitter says:
Time for @NicoY24 to shine! Good luck kid.
Half Time THAT'S YOUR LOT FOR NOW: Leeds have contained Arsenal so far at the Emirates and in fairness have created the best chance for Becchio. But Arshavin and Ramsey have had a sight of goal at the other end and the home side have controlled possession
45
HERE IT COMES... Koscielny rises to meet Arteta's kick but his header goes over the bar
45
INTO STOPPAGE TIME: Only one minute, despite Coquelin's injury. Ramsey gets a shot away and that's deflected wide for another Arsenal corner
44
ARTETA CLIPS IT IN... and Ramsey almost gets there. The rebound comes out to the Ox but he tries a trick and it doesn't come off. The Leeds fans love that
43
Yellow Card OH DEAR O'DEA: He goes in the book for a hack at Chamakh, who does very well to stay on his feet before the ref blows for the foul
Top Comments:
@Stoffelius on Twitter says:
To sum up: Arshavin's been good, Chamakh's doing okay. Big blow with Coquelin injured.
42
LEEDS GROWING IN STATURE: They have only had just the one chance - although what a chance it was - but the visitors are getting better as the match unfolds
Top Comments:
@samagona on Twitter says:
An #Arsenal win tonight would be the 300th home victory of Arsène Wenger's reign, in his 430th home game.
41
CORNER TO ARSENAL: But that one's a bit deep and Squillaci can't direct his header goalwards
Top Comments:
@iamMenzisto on Twitter says:
Final ball is poor so far. Come on boys!

Is David Beckham at the Emirates because his son is a Gooner? #correctdecision
38
ARTETA TRIPPED: Arsenal take the free-kick short. Can they fashion a decent chance before the break?
37
MOMENTUM LOST: Arsenal are not as cohesive going forward at the moment, their rhythm has been interrupted by that stoppage
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
That's good play from Oxlade-Chamberlain, we just need to see more of that from him this half. Arsenal have lacked that injection of pace so far.
36
HENRY WATCH: The camera pans to Henry again. He's sitting watching the match. More later
35
FIRST TOUCH FOR YENNARIS: And it's a positive one as he bursts down the right and finds Ramsey, but Arsenal lose possession
Top Comments:
@BashyUK on Twitter says:
Wow. How many defenders down are we? *laces up boots*
34
THE CURSE OF THE ARSENAL FULL-BACK: Santos, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Sagna and their replacements Vermaelen, Djourou and Coquelin are either injured or suspended. I'd be worred if I was Iggy Miquel!
33
Substitution HERE COMES YENNARIS: Nico replaces Coquelin and goes to right back. He can play there or as a defensive midfielder.
Top Comments:
@marc_ayres110 on Twitter says:
Can't believe how many injuries we are getting, even the midfielders that play at the back are getting injured!
32
NOW ARSHAVIN HAS A KNOCK: He's hobbling around and looking anxiously at his leg. At this rate Henry might have to come on earlier than expected
31
ARSHAVIN TRIES HIS LUCK: That's a curling effort and it appears to hit an arm... tentative shout for handball... nothing given
30
COQUELIN GOES DOWN THE TUNNEL: What a pity. He was playing really well and deserved his place in the side, FA Cup or otherwise
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
I might get a game soon! But I'm not sure my veterans team would be too happy with that...
29
YENNARIS IS WARMING UP: And he'll have to come on. Coquelin pulled up while making a typically lung-bursting overlap down the right. There was no one around him
28
BUT HERE'S THE BAD NEWS: Coquelin is down with what looks like a hamstring problem. The full-back curse continues. Dear oh dear
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
This doesn't look too good, it looks like a hamstring to me.
27
THE OX LOOKING STRONG: He's coming into the game more and more. That's good news
26
CONTROVERSY! The Ox races down the right and seems to out-muscle his marker but the ref says he fouled him. Chamakh poked the resulting cross over the bar from close-range but he knew play had stopped
Top Comments:
@TheRobertBlack on Twitter says:
Is this ref getting paid extra for every time he blows his whistle?
25
CORNER TO ARSENAL: Arshavin wins it and Arteta trots over to take it... it's headed clear
24
OOH, GREAT CHANCE LEEDS: It all came from Townsend's inswinging free kick. Arsenal couldn't clear, Vayrynen got to the byline and cut the ball back for Becchio and he lashed his shot over the bar.
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
This was the best chance of the game so far. Arsenal didn't deal with the free-kick and a bit of composure there would have seen him hit the target.
23
HERE COMES THE ARTETA: Captain Mikel is on the move, he finds space for a shot and fires low to the keeper's left. That's just past the post
Top Comments:
@kts_gunner on Twitter says:
Arshavin working hard today. Good to see that!
22
MORE ARSENAL PRESSURE: Chamberlain is tripped but the ref waves play-on, Arshavin scampers past his man and crosses, it's laid back for Ramsey and his shot is deflected over. A goal is coming, you feel
21
CHAMAKH LOOKING FINE: He's had his critics but you can't argue with his link-up play so far
Top Comments:
@heresBucky on Twitter says:
I don't think Leeds are used to such a fast pace!
20
GOOD RESPONSE! Ramsey to Arshavin, who tricks his way past two defenders and then slides a cute ball through to Ramsey... but he takes it inches over the byline and that's a goal kick
19
ARSHAVIN IS DOWN: Poor decision from the ref there. Andrey made inroads down the left channel and was bodychecked but nothing is given. The Russian eventually gets up, holding his jaw. He took a right whack there
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
That was a foul. Arshavin's just taken a shoulder right in the mouth there.
18
RAMSEY GOES FOR GOAL! Chamakh lays it off and that's a surging run deep into Leeds territory from Ramsey. He drops a shoulder and fires left-footed but the ball is just high and just wide
17
TOWNSEND TRICKS: This time he finds space for a cross and Szczesny gathers comfortably. That's the first time I've mentioned Wojciech - sums it up really
Top Comments:
@sexcMimz on Twitter says:
Wow!!! Ramsey that was such a good play before!
15
SQUILLACI! Strong header from Sebastien at the back post following an excellent delivery from Arteta. Half-chances for Arsenal but nothing gilt-edged as yet
Top Comments:
@pjvanrooyen on Twitter says:
Leeds are hitting us on the break - Townsend looking rather dangerous.
15
ARSENAL IN CONTROL: Leeds don't really have an answer to the home side at the moment, they are just trying to contain them
14
GOOD FROM RAMSEY: A lovely flick takes him past his marker on Arsenal's right, he cuts inside and finds Chamberlain... but the block comes in as the Ox looks to pull the trigger
Top Comments:
Dan Roebuck on Arsenal Player says:
Leeds haven't had anything much in the way of a settled side for a while now. They've perhaps not got the quality of last year and have a few injuries at the moment.
12
WELL IN COQUELIN: He's a bundle of energy on the right, the young Frenchman. This time he chases down a pass from the Ox and gets the challenge in to keep Leeds penned in their half
11
TOWNSEND A THREAT: Andros Townsend, a Spurs player on loan at Leeds, gave Arsenal problems during the 2009 Youth Cup Quarter-Final. Trust me on that one. He'll need to be watched - very quick, very nimble
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
I expect that we may see Henry for 20-25 minutes. But you don't want to go into the latter minutes of an FA Cup tie like this still level.
10
FINAL WARNING: Coquelin goes in hard and Mr Clattenburg is not happy. Just a word in his ear though
Top Comments:
@kts_gunner on Twitter says:
Henry chatting with Walcott. How adorable! Hope Theo will learn a bit while he is here.
9
PASS PASS PASS: Arsenal keeping the ball and looking for that decisive final pass. Arshavin almost finds Chamakh but that's a decent challenge
8
CHAMAKH TO RAMSEY... and the little flick almost finds Chamberlain's run. If Arsenal can unlock the Ox's pace they can carve Leeds apart
7
HENRY WATCH: The camera returns to Thierry. This time he's chatting to Theo Walcott. We'll keep you posted
Top Comments:
@TheMATTaclysm on Twitter says:
Come on @Arsenal, it's clobbering time...
6
CHAMAKH WORKING HARD: He's started pretty well. The Moroccan has in fairness done plenty of good work linking play when he's had the chance - but he's struggled in the penalty area
5
ARSHAVIN AGAIN! This time Chamakh plays him in and that's another wayward effort, skied over the bar. Three shots for Andrey already - of the footballing kind of course
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
Let's just say he should have hit the target. I have to say that was perfect for Arshavin but he hit that miles wide.
4
ARTETA PENALISED: He clips his man on Arsenal's right and Leeds want a card for that. Mark Clattenburg settles for a stern word or two
3
CHAMAKH ON THE RUN: He goes down the right and wins a throw. High-tempo start from the home side. The Ox crosses... but there's no one to meet it
Top Comments:
@mkbernz on Twitter says:
Happy to see "The Ox" @Alex_OxChambo on the pitch tonight!
2
HENRY WATCH: Less than two minutes in and the camera pans to the new old boy. Lots more of that to come I'm sure
2
ARSHAVIN WITH THE SHOT: That's blocked but it sets the tone. The Russian tries his luck again... but that one goes miles high
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
We're obviously expecting Arsenal to have a lot of possession and Leeds will sit back regularly. I think they'll be happy to see Arsenal play it across.
1
WE ARE LEEDS: The visitors made a hell of a racket on their last trip to the Emirates and they are doing so again
Kick Off ARSENAL GET US UNDERWAY: Six wins and we'll win the Cup. It's as simple as that. Come on Arsenal!
WOW, WHAT AN OVATION: Henry's name is greeted with a huge roar at the Emirates. Legend. Arsene Wenger looks on in a sharp suit on what is a pretty mild winter's night in north London
Top Comments:
@JohanNyman on Twitter says:
The return of the King.
HERE THEY COME: Mikel Arteta leads out Arsenal for the first time and Andy Lonerghan leads out, er, Leeds. The visitors' colours? Black with neon yellow trim. Eek!

Henry's still got that touch, still got that intelligence. I just wonder whether we might see him and Van Persie together at some stage this season. I for one can't wait to see it.
IT'S ALMOST TIME: The lower tier is pretty much full, the upper tier is filling up fast and Arsenal's latest road to Wembley is about to begin

GOOD OLD ARSENAL: The fans filing into the Emirates get a quick blast of our 1970s smash hit. The production values aren't great but it still works
AND THERE HE IS! Thierry Henry shares a word with Emmanuel Petit in the tunnel and then emerges to rousing applause for his warm-up. He's got a great big smile on his face
