In pictures – the best images of Leyton Orient v Arsenal
Leyton Orient fans are using every available vantage point to catch a glimpse of today's match – and the local housing block has come in particularly handy. They'll be hoping to see some famous names in the Arsenal line-up today ...Photograph: Stephen Pond/EMPICS SportPlayers like this one, whose name is, errr, Ignasi Miquel ... Arsenal's reserve team captain – of coursePhotograph: Nick Potts/PAAnd this one: Kieran Gibbs, perhaps? Whoever it is he's jumping with Leyton Orient's Alex RevellPhotograph: Toby Melville/Reuters

Arsenal seem intent on holding their opponents at bay rather than exercising their attacking skills.

A replay was a richly deserved reward for Orient, too, it should be saidPhotograph: Stephen Pond/EMPICS Sport
