Why Kim Kardashian is at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal vs Sporting Europa League tie

American socialite Kim Kardashian is at the Emirates Stadium this evening for Arsenal's Europa League match against Sporting. The personality has arrived in north London to film a documentary at the Gunners' stadium.

This comes after her son Saint was seen in Arsenal's third kit for his birthday party in January, sparking suggestions that the household are keen fans of the north London outfit.

Kardashian has already shared images from behind the scenes at the stadium, including snaps of Prime, Arsenal's official sports drink supplier and pictures of William Saliba who adorns the matchday programme.
