GOAL ARSENAL! They break and have two on two. Ozil gives the ball to Sanchez and then finishes the move, volleying home into the ground and over Courtois from the Chilean’s cross.
Goal
M. Özil
Looking good for Arsenal approaching the break. The Gunners are looking to record four successive Premier League wins for the first time since a five-match streak in October 2015.
The Blues have kept just one clean sheet in their last 12 league games, while they have conceded in each of their last six away league fixtures.
Walcott does brilliantly to keep the ball in play but Sanchez just takes it away from Ozil and loses the ball.
Willian’s cross meant for Matic is easily claimed by Cech. No saves to make yet for the former Chelsea man.
Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte could go three league games without a win for the first time since a run of four draws with Juventus in March 2012.
Xhaka on for Coquelin.

Xhaka gettig stripped off, ready to replace Coquelin.
Sanchez’s shot deflected over by Matic for another Arsenal corner. In it comes from Ozil, away by Kante.
Iwobi pulled down just outside the box by Ivanovic and he goes into the book. Another good chance for the Gunners.
Yellow card
B. Ivanovic
The last time Arsenal were 2-0 up against at Big-Four team or Manchester City in the Premier League within the first 15 minutes was against Manchester United on 4 October 2015, when they eventually won 3-0.
Chelsea just starting to warm to this task, you sense. It’s taken them a while to do so. An important block from Cahill to stop Bellerin’s shot. Carorla's corner headed behind for another.
Willian picks out Hazard and it’s a very important block from Koscielny to prevent it from going on target.
STAT: That was Walcott's sixth goal against Chelsea in all competitions. That is equal to his personal best against a specific team, as he has also scored six times versus Newcastle in all competitions.
POSSESSION: Arsenal 59%-41% Chelsea
The best passage of play yet from Chelsea ends with Willian flashing his shot just wide.
