45+4'
Pace has gone out of Arsenal's play at the end of the half.
45+2'
Zouma sweeps up Luiz's searching ball forward for Aubameyang. Alonso collects the loose ball from Bellerin as Chelsea build from the back.
45'
WIDE! Free-kick is hit with venom from Alex Lacazette, but that is always flying wide. Fives minutes of time added on at the end of the half.
43'
Arsenal do not want half time to come. They are well on top at the moment.
41'
Pepe clips a cross to the back post, Caballero comes flapping, and gets just a fingertip to it to divert the ball behind for a corner.
39'
The moment that could have changed the course of this.

Not the reshuffle Chelsea wanted at this stage.

CHANCE! Another fine Chelsea move, with Mount pulling it back for Jorginho, but the Italian gets underneath his shot.

Pulling a Phil Jones face, too.

That's that for Azpilicueta. Not his day, so sure. Andreas Christensen is the man to come on.

Azpilicueta is the latest to stay down, and it does not look good for the Chelsea skipper.

David Luiz leaves Giroud in pain, holding his back. Didn't seem to be much in it.

Just what Arsenal needed that goal. After the drinks break they have been the better team.

PENALTY TO ARSENAL! Azpilicueta is all over Aubameyang, hauling the Gunners skipper to the ground. Anthony Taylor points to the spot.

NO GOAL! Pepe thunders the ball into the net, but the linesman had his flag up for some time, with Aubameyang straying offside in the build up.

Drinks break! Relief for Arsenal, really.
21'
Aubameyang chases one over the top, but Reece James is across to see the ball out for a Chelsea throw.

Maitland-Niles appears to be Arsenal's best outlet here. He is causing Cesar Azpilicueta problems.
