Thistle are a little fortunate to escape from this fixture with a point. 

Gaston claims Turner's corner under pressure. 

Sneddon blocks McKenna's shot with his legs. 

Arbroath aren't able to profit from a gift of corner. Sneddon coming close to fumbling the ball into his own net. 

Thistle are lucky to still be level as the ball comes off Sneddon's post. Thistle hanging on for a point at the moment. 

The corner is poor but the pressure remains on the Thistle goal. 

Thistle can't get the free kick anywhere near the Arbroath goal. 

There is a tug on Graham and Thistle have a free kick. 

Fitzpatrick tries to run at the Arbroath defence but there is no way through for the Thistle sub. 

Linn tries to curl a shot wide of Sneddon from the edge of the box but he doesn't get anything like the required curl on the ball and it is an easy save for Sneddon. Thistle haven't been a threat at all since the restart. 

It's a near thing in front of the Thistle goal as Balde is close to bundling Linn's cross over the line. 

Sneddon nearly spills a Balde shot into the net at his near post with the ball bouncing off the post to safety. 

There's a hint of a chance for El-Mhanni but he can't squeeze the ball home at the back post. 

It's been a really scrappy, untidy start to the second half with neither side threatening the opposition goal. 

Milne fouls Balde and Arbroath will have a chance to test the Thistle defence with the free kick from the right handside. 

Thistle are getting set to make a change with Graham about to come on. 

We're back underway. 

All square at the break and not much between the teams. 

Thistle have, perhaps, been marginally the better side but it has been Arbroath that have been closest to a goal. 

Into first half injury time. 

Mullen is on the ground inside the Arbroath box looking for a penalty that he's never likely to get. 

Sneddon makes a great save low to his right to keep out El-Mhanni's shot. Arbroath having their best spell of the game so far. 

It's too far out for a direct effort on goal and Thistle deal with El-Mhanni free kick. 

Dow is caught a shade late and Arbroath have a free kick about 35 yards from the Thistle goal. 

Turner pushes the ball to Docherty to his right. Docherty shoots from outside the box. His shot is on target but it is a comfortable save for Gaston. 

It's a poor free kick from Turner though wasting a good looking opportunity for Thistle. The ball going out for a goal kick. 

Tiffoney is barged to the ground earning Thistle a free kick on the left handside. 

It's a decent corner from Turner but well defended by the home side. 

It's a good stop from Sneddon to deny Olusanya with Brownlie on hand to complete the clearance. 

No joy from Turner's corner as Muirhead tries to flick the ball on. 

Lawless picks the ball up in the middle of the park, finds McMillan to his right but he overhits his cross. Thistle are the better team but that isn't translating into chances so far. 

Turner whips the free kick in but straight at Gaston. 

Tiffoney is fouled wide on the Thistle left and Thistle have a free kick. 

The Arbroath fans howl for a penalty as Olusanya and Brownlie collide. It would have been a really soft award had it been given. 

Milne fouls Dow and Arbroath will have a free kick in a dangerous position. They aren't able to pressure the Thistle defence from the free kick though. 

Nearly an opener for Thistle. Turner's corner is cleared but he gets the ball back. When the ball is delivered back into the box it drops to Milne and his shot is saved by Gaston. 

Brownlie is able to flick Dow's corner away from the Thistle box. 

A low Mullen cross is cleared as Thistle mount their first serious attack of the afternoon. 

Arbroath get the game underway. Thistle shooting towards the away end in the first half. 

Kris Doolan brings his Thistle side to a distinctly chilly Arbroath in the search of another vital three points. 

His second team selection as Thistle 'gaffer' shows two changes to the side that started against Ayr United. 

Kevin Holt and Anton Dowds miss out with Danny Mullen, who played the majority of the game at Ayr scoring the winning goal, and Darren Brownlie coming in. 

Free from suspension, Brian Graham starts the afternoon on the bench.
