    FT: Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal!! All over at Stamford Bridge and the Gunners go back top! Arteta is ecstatic on the touchline and rightly so! The away side were the better team today and Gabriel's 63rd minute goal when he got on the end of Saka's corner proved to be the difference. Chelsea tried, but didn't really look like scoring. They are winless in their last four in the league and Potter has problems to solve. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    Arsenal are keeping the ball in Chelsea's half running out the clock.
  • 95'
    Sterling is caught offside and that should be that.

  • 92'
    A fight breaks out between Chalobah and Xhaka as the Arsenal man wants a corner and Kovacic comes in and pushes Xhaka as well! I think two or three yellows will be shown. All rather unnecessary.

    HT: Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal! Half-time at Stamford Bridge and a draw is very fair. Arsenal have been the better side, but Chelsea have also had opportunities. We've yet to see a shot on target, but Jesus' header wide from Martinelli's cross is easily the closest we've come to a goal. Let's see what happens in the second 45. Back shortly!

    T Silva is penalised for a tackle on Odegaard and the ref awards Arsenal a free-kick.
  • 29'
    Jesus is inches away from scoring! Martinelli puts in a ball for Jesus at the back stick and he is inches away from heading in! That was close.

    The home side were well beaten 4-1 at Brighton in their last fixture and haven't won any of their last three. They have slipped down to 7th (21 points) and need the points to go level with 4th placed Newcastle. As for Arsenal, Haaland's last gasp penalty yesterday means Arteta's side have dropped to second (31 points), but they will go two clear once again with victory here.
