[quote author=sarzwizard] - Not quite the game that we expected from two teams boasting plenty of midfield and offensive quality, but there's still 45 minutes left to play. Willian has looked reasonably bright whenever he's been on the ball, with Hazard yet to really get involved. Giroud and Ozil have been too anonymous for Arsenal to have any staying power in the final third.
… - Vermaelen has looked a potential weak link for the home side, who settled into the game well, before petering out after the 20-minute mark. Chelsea have been well disciplined and sat smartly in their shape, committing men forward as quickly as possible once they have won possession.
… - Frank Lampard hitting the underside of the crossbar with a cushioned instep volley, is the closest that we've gone thus far. Szczesny has been forced into two comfortable stops to deny Torres and Willian, with Cech having very little to do in the opposite goal. The hosts appear unable to deal with the rather slick turf, misplacing plenty of passes.
… - HALF TIME! It ends goalless after a rather cagey first 45 minutes, where Mourinho's Chelsea have dealt with everything that Arsenal have thrown at them. Arsenal will feel aggrieved that they haven't been awarded a penalty following a trip on Walcott.
45′ + 1 - OZIL! Cahill gets in front of a firm half volley from the Germany international, as Chelsea continue to frustrate the hosts in this first half. Mourinho's side look to have the measure of their opposition.
44′ - WILLIAN! Great header from Ivanovic! Chelsea continue to weather the storm of a few Arsenal corners in quick succession, before breaking upfield with pace. The Brazilian is found in space on the left, before cutting inside and firing a comfortable strike into the waiting hands of Szczesny.
42′ - A good defensive header from Mikel prevents Mertesacker from meeting an Arsenal corner delivery, before Ozil is penalised for being offside. The former Real Madrid man looking to head the ball away from the flapping grasp of Cech, but was slightly beyond the visitors' last defender.
40′ - Five minutes until the break, and this game is in desperate need of a goal to force it into action. Arsenal continue to patiently probe, with Chelsea prepared to sit in shape and look to pick off their opponents on the counter. We're yet to see much of Hazard, however, whose involvement could prove key.
39′ - Chelsea are perhaps lucky to have eleven men still on the field, as Mikel's challenge on Arteta doesn't get any better after further viewing. Walcott could have easily picked up a penalty for the Gunners too, so it's no surprise to hear the home support chanting about the referee's decision-making.
37′ - Arteta is forced to pick himself up gingerly after being caught by a strong challenge from Mikel, after Arsenal fans claimed for a trip on Walcott by Azpilicueta inside the Chelsea penalty area. Things aren't quite going in favour of the hosts at the moment, who are second-best in this game despite seeing plenty of the ball.
36′ - Chelsea are beginning to look more confident by the minute, as Arsenal's possession continues to come to nothing. Lampard's strike has been the best chance of the game thus far, and the visitors' pressing is doing just enough to knock Wenger's men out of their stride.
34′ - TORRES! Szczesny is finally forced into a save, comfortably diving to his right to catch a strike which Torres hit on the turn. Moments later, the Spaniard is fed in behind the Arsenal defence, but an excellent sliding tackle from Mertesacker blocks his second effort.
32′ - LAMPARD! The England international cracks a brilliant effort off the underside of the bar, with Szczesny stood helpless, after a rather hopeful lofted ball towards the back post. That could be the warning shot that this game needs to kick-start it!
31′ - Just over ten minutes until half time, and this London derby is yet to burst into life. Neither goalkeeper has been tested, and the majority of long balls have been ineffectual due to their tendency to skid out of play courtesy of the recent weather.
29′ - Header away by Mertesacker! Willian does well to dance around a few Arsenal players, but is continually forced wide, until he eventually releases the ball to Azpilicueta, whose cross isn't good enough to find Torres. Chelsea are being forced to go long on occasion, given that Willian and Hazard are finding it difficult to find themselves in positions where they can either isolate their full-back or have a man to aim for in the box.
27′ - RAMIRES! The Brazilian finds himself on the edge of the 18-yard box, but can only divert a looping cross over Szczesny's crossbar! That attempt had to be absolutely perfect, given the distance from goal and the power he would have to generate, but it sadly wasn't.
26′ - Arsenal continue to see more of the ball, and are prepared to pass around patient .
