KEY EVENTS
COMMENTARY
It's been a relatively even game so far, although Arsenal have arguably been the better of the two sides and should head down the tunnel happiest. They started particularly well and caused plenty of problems for a Chelsea back line that looked slightly off the pace, resulting in Lacazette hitting the post with a wonderful curling effort. At the other end, the reigning league champions have created little, with Batshuayi struggling to get into the game despite some good play by Pedro and Willian on a few occasions.

HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 0-0 CHELSEA
45' + 3' A chipped cross in from Oxlade-Chamberlain is met by Azpilicueta, who can only head it behind for a corner. Xhaka steps up and curls a deep ball into the box, but it's slightly too heavy and fails to find a team-mate.

45' + 1' Chelsea are unable to fully clear the danger over on the left flank and gift the ball to Bellerin. The wing-back quickly moves it over to Welbeck just outside of the penalty area, but the forward brings a promising attacking move to a disappointing end with a wild shot that flies well wide of its intended target.

45' The fourth official has indicated that there will be three minutes of added time.

44' Space opens up in the middle of the pitch, allowing Iwobi to burst forward. He plays a quick one-two with Oxlade-Chamberlain and then manages to get a shot away from inside the box, but it lacks the power needed to trouble Courtois in the middle of the goal.

42' Beautiful defending by David Luiz! A bouncing pass flies into the Chelsea penalty area and towards the Brazilian, who is immediately put under pressure by Welbeck. He does really well to knock the ball over the forward and up into the air, and he then coolly and calmly pulls off a backwards header that sends the ball into the hands of Courtois. The crowd loved that!

41' Another attempted Chelsea attack breaks down, allowing Arsenal to fly forward over on the left flank. Kolasinac charges deep into the Chelsea half of the pitch on a wonderful run and then sets up Oxlade-Chamberlain, who fires a low cross into the box that fails to find a red and white shirt in front of goal.

40' N'Golo Kante and Willian link up really well on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area before the latter tees up Batshuayi. The striker initially holds off his marker before spinning and getting a shot away, but, under pressure, he can only fire it straight into the chest of Holding.

39' Poor play by Chelsea gifts the ball to Xhaka, who then quickly works it forward and out to the left wing. Oxlade-Chamberlain is unable to take advantage of the error, however, as a loose pass can only find a blue shirt in the middle of the park.

37' Big call by the referee! Willian skips into the Arsenal box and takes on Bellerin before throwing himself to the ground. He immediately screams for a penalty, but the referee isn't at all impressed with the Brazilian's antics and shows him a yellow card for diving.

35' After Arsenal's attempted attacking move fails to come to an end, Chelsea counter quickly. Willian fires a wonderful cross-field pass over to Pedro, who controls it well and unleashes a thumping strike that Cech comfortably saves. Arsenal then try to break forward on a counter-attack of their own, but they're unable to do so due to a crunching challenge from Alonso on Bellerin.

34' Arsenal are able to get back on the ball as they patiently work their way from one flank to another. Oxlade-Chamberlai is eventually set up just outside of the Chelsea box, but he's quickly outnumbered and fails to get a shot away before being dispossessed.

32' Kolasinac has indeed come on to replace Mertesacker in what is his official debut for Arsenal.

31' The game gets underway once again after a groggy looking Mertesacker departs the field. Chelsea try to make their numerical advantage count as they pile forward, but Moses' thumping low cross in from the right is deflected away by the outstretched limbs of Petr Cech.

30' This doesn't look good for Mertesacker, who is losing a lot of blood as he receives medical treatment inside the Arsenal penalty area. Sead Kolasinac is getting ready on the substitutes' bench, and it looks as if he's going to have to come on and take the German's place.

28' Victor Moses gets the better of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain deep down the right flank before trying to skip past Welbeck, who pokes the ball behind for a corner with an excellent sliding tackle. The set-piece is swung into the box and almost finds Cahill, but he ends up smashing into the nose of Mertesacker as the two battle for the ball, leaving the Arsenal defender in a heap on the floor and covered in blood.

26' Holding charges deep into the Chelsea half of the pitch and does well to carve out a pocket of space for himself just outside of the box. He looks set to pull the trigger, but just as he's about to, Pedro dispossesses him with a well-timed tackle.

24' Azpilicueta tries to pick out Alonso with a lofted pass over the top of the Arsenal back line and into the penalty area, but it's overhit and fails to pick out the wing-back near to the byline.


23' Lacazette hits the post! Another swift counter-attack causes all sorts of problems for the Chelsea back line. Welbeck does really well on the left-hand side of the penalty area before setting up Lacazette, and the Frenchman then beats Courtois with a wonderful curling strike that smashes off the woodwork.

21' Pedro embarks on a wonderful run as he darts through a sea of Arsenal shirts and into the penalty area. He heads towards the byline and then tees up Alonso, who tries to fire a cross into the box but sends it sailing out for a throw-in on the opposite flank.

20' Fabregas knocks a lovely pass into the box and towards Willian, who is quickly closed down by Rob Holding and has to settle for a corner. It's sent short before Fabregas eventually unleashes a cross, but it's poorly hit and easily defended.

18' Michy Batshuayi, who has been quiet so far, is eventually brought into the game after a deflected shot from Fabregas loops into his path. The Belgian is able to control the ball under pressure from Per Mertesacker but does so with his hand, resulting in Arsenal being awarded a free-kick.

17' Slightly sloppy play by Chelsea deep inside their own half of the pitch almost results in David Luiz being closed down by Lacazette, but just as the Frenchman's about to poke the ball away from him, the defender is able to knock it back to Courtois.

15' Ouch! Bellerin quickly becomes the second player to enter the referee's book after catching Alonso with a late sliding challenge as the Chelsea wing-back tried to break down the left flank.

14' The resulting free-kick is sent short before Monreal fires a great cross into the heart of the penalty area, where it looks set to find Lacazette but is well dealt with by Gary Cahill under pressure.

13' Victor Moses cuts inside and tries to take on a group of Arsenal players, but he loses out and allows the Gunners to counter quickly. Lacazette bursts through the middle of the pitch on a great run before being closed down by Cesar Azpilicueta, who cynically drags down the Frenchman and gives away a free-kick before being booked.

12' After a tough opening 12 minutes, Chelsea are finally able to string together a decent string of passes. Cesc Fabregas then fires a long ball forward and into the path of Pedro, who manages to get a boot on the pass but can't control it fully before being flagged offside.

10' It's been a really good start to the game by Arsenal, who are comfortably bossing possession. Once again, they move the ball around quickly before Iwobi skips towards goal, but he's closed down by both Courtois and
Marcos Alonso before he can get a shot away.


8' And now Danny Welbeck goes close! A lovely lofted pass from Granit Xhaka flies over the top of the Chelsea defence and into the penalty area. It picks out Welbeck, who had made a great run forward, but his header lacks the power needed to beat Courtois.


7' Alexandre Lacazette goes close! Alex Iwobi dances his way into the left-hand side of the Chelsea box on a wonderful run as he easily gets the better of David Luiz. He heads towards the byline and then fizzes a pass across the face of goal, where it deflects off Courtois and just behind Lacazette.


5' Good play by Mohamed Elneny sees him muscle his way down the left wing and into a promising position. He then does well to work the ball over to the right wing and into the feet of Hector Bellerin, who swings in a low, bouncing cross that's easily collected by Thibaut Courtois.

3' After a patient start to the game by Chelsea, it's Arsenal who push forward on the first real attacking move of the game. They work the ball around nicely before Oxlade-Chamberlain tries to pick out Nacho Monreal deep down the left flank, but his chipped pass is overhit and bounces behind for a goal-kick.

1' We're off! Chelsea get us underway, attacking from left to right.

The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
Meanwhile, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has made just one alteration to the team that featured in their final pre-season friendly, with new signing Alvaro Morata making way for Pedro, who has recently returned from injury.
Arsene Wenger has decided to make four changes to the Arsenal side that started the 2-1 defeat against Sevilla last weekend, with Rob Holding, Per Mertesacker, Granit Xhaka and Alex Iwobi coming into the starting line-up to replace Laurent Koscielny, Aaron Ramsey, Joseph Willock and Mesut Ozil, respectively.

Chelsea substitutes: Caballero, Christensen, Rudiger, Scott, Musonda, Boga, Morata.

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill; Moses, Fabregas, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro.

Arsenal substitutes: Ospina, Kolasinac, Willock, Nelson, Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Giroud.

Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Cech; Holding, Mertesacker, Monreal; Bellerin, Elneny, Xhaka, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Welbeck, Lacazette, Iwobi.
