- 90'+6'Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
- 90'+6'Arsenal are next in action against Brighton and Hove Albion on Tuesday on the road. Chelsea face Aston Villa at home on Monday.
- 90'+6'Arsenal end their seven-match winless run in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. Alexandre Lacazette put them ahead from the penalty spot before Granit Xhaka scored a stunning free-kick. Bukayo Saka then added a third with a right-footed strike that may have been an attempted cross. Chelsea scored a late consolation through Tammy Abraham, while Jorginho had a stoppage-time penalty saved by Bernd Leno. The pressure eases on Mikel Arteta in the Arsenal dugout, but Chelsea lose their third away game on the bounce.
- 90'+6'FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 3-1 CHELSEA
- 90'+5'Pulisic twists and turns in the final third to carve out space for a strike, but he sends a tame effort straight at Leno.
- 90'+4'After scoring each of his first five PL pens for Chelsea, Jorginho has missed two of his last four.
- 90'+2'Mustafi replaces Lacazette to shore up the Arsenal defence for the dying minutes.
- 90'+1'SAVE! Leno makes a vital save to potentially secure the win for the Gunners. He gets down to his left to stop the strike with a firm hand.
- 90'+1'MISS!!! JORGINHO MISSES FROM THE SPOT!! The midfielder goes for his trademark stutter-step, but Leno reads it all the way. Jorginho sees his effort saved by the Arsenal keeper down low to his left.
- 90'PENALTY TO CHELSEA! Mari brings down Mount in the box with an outstretched leg. The referee points to the spot.
- 89'WIDE! Thiago Silva attacks a cross from Pulisic on the right flank. He rises above Holding, but directs his header wide of the right post.
- 87'Chelsea are throwing everything forward at the Gunners in the dying stages. However, there's surely too much for them to do now.
- 85'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! ABRAHAM GETS A GOAL BACK FOR CHELSEA!!! 3-1!!!! After a VAR review Chelsea back in the game. The linesman initially puts his flag up as Abraham chests a cross from Hudson-Odoi past Leno. However, Bellerin plays the forward onside as he converts to give Chelsea a glmmer of hope.
- 83'CHANCE! Mendy plays a pass straight to Lacazette in the box. The Frenchman get the ball out of his feet, but fails to fire it past the Chelsea keeper as Mendy turns it behind for a corner.
- 82'It's all working for Arsenal today as Willock times his challenge to perfection to stop a surge from Pulisic.
- 82'Tierney is booked for timewasting for a throw-in.
- 80'OVER! Chelsea still do not have an attempt on target. Abraham fends off Holding in the box to head Hudson-Odoi's cross towards goal, but his effort sails over the bar.
- 77'Abraham tries to turn Mari on the edge of the box, but he catches the defender on the ankle. The Arsenal man requires treatment before we can continue.
- 75'OVER! Chelsea win a corner on the right flank and Mount lifts a dangerous ball into the middle. Thiago Silva rises highest in the box, but he heads his effort over the bar from six yards out.
- 74'Kante is replaced by Havertz for the closing 16 minutes of the game.
- 73'Thiago Silva goes into the book for a hand to the head of Lacazette in an aerial duel.
- 72'Chilwell and Mount combine down the left flank, but the cross from the latter results in a foul by Abraham on Holding.
- 71'Martinelli is withdrawn by Arteta and is replaced by Pepe.
- 69'Chelsea are trying to push back into the contest, but the Gunners are displaying resilience at the back to repel crosses from both flanks.
- 67'OVER! Saka is played into space down the right flank and goes for a strike at goal that is blocked by Jorginho. Willock pounces on the rebound in the right inside channel, but blasts his effort over the bar from a tight angle.
- 65'Smith Rowe is withdrawn for Willock in the middle of the park.
- 64'SAVE! Tierney surges down the left flank after Martinelli robs James of possession. The full-back cuts the ball back for the Brazilian to fire at goal, but Mendy gets down well to deny the Gunners a fourth goal.
- 63'Saka is the youngest Englishman to score for Arsenal against Chelsea since Theo Walcott in 2007 League Cup final.
- 61'BLOCK! Arsenal are committed in defence. Mount offloads to Pulisic, who hammers a strike at goal, but Holding produces the block in the box for the Gunners.
- 61'SAVE! Lacazette nods a cross into the path of Martinelli, who attempts an acrobatic overhead kick from 12 yards. He directs his effort towards the right corner, but Mendy gets down to make the save.
- 60'Chelsea win a free-kick down the left flank and Chilwell launches a cross into the middle. It is headed clear as far as Mount, but the England man smashes his strike wide of the target.
- 58'Zouma tries to rise in the box to direct a cross from James towards goal, but he flicks his effort wide of the left post.
- 56'Smith Rowe works and offload to Saka in space. The winger does the rest as he finds the back of the net.
- 56'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! SAKA MAKES IT THREE!!!!! 3-0 ARSENAL!!!!! The home side notch a crucial third goal as Saka bends an effort into the net with the aid of the left post. Smith Rowe works the ball to the winger, who has acres of space and time on the edge of the box. He connects with a cross or a strike on his right foot - only Saka will know. The only outcome that matters is that the ball drifts over Mendy and into the back of the net.
- 55'Mount and Pulisic work in combination again down the left flank, but the cross from the former sails into the hands of Leno.
- 53'Abraham screams in frustration as he fails to keep the ball in play on the right flank. It has been that sort of game for the Blues.
- 51'Mount and Pulisic combine in the left inside channel, but the strike from the American fails to penetrate the wall of Arsenal defenders in front of their own goal.
- 49'Werner has struggled in the Premier League this term - the German has now failed to score in his last 10 games in all competitions, his longest drought since a run of 12 matches between March and September 2016 across spells at Stuttgart and RB Leipzig.
- 45'+2'Frank Lampard will be furious with his team. The Blues have been laboured all over the pitch and deserve to be two goals down. Chelsea need a massive response in the second half to avoid falling to a third away defeat on the bounce.
- 45'+2'Arsenal hold a 2-0 lead over Chelsea at the break of their Premier League clash. The Gunners have been outstanding in the first half, captalising on lacklustre display from the visitors. Alexandre Lacazette put the home side ahead from the penalty spot after Kieran Tierney was fouled by Reece James. Granit Xhaka doubled Arsenal's advantage with a stunning effort from a free-kick. The Gunners are 45 minutes away from a massive result.
- 47'Hudson-Odoi has a dart down the right flank and he sends a dangerous cross into the box. It just has too much height for Abraham before Bellerin heads over his own bar.
- 45'+2'HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 2-0 CHELSEA
- 46'Since a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea, Arsenal remain unbeaten in nine home PL games when scoring first (W7 D2).
- 46'We're back underway at the Emirates Stadium.
- 46'Kovacic is withdrawn for the visitors and is replaced by Jorginho.
- 46'Lampard responds at the break by hooking Werner and replacing him with Hudson-Odoi.
- 45'There will be two minutes of added time.
- 44'WHAT A GOAL!!!!!!! XHAKA SCORES A STUNNER!!!! 2-0!!!! Kante pays the price for his foul on Saka as Xhaka bends the resulting free-kick into the top-right corner. The midfielder bends his effort over the wall with power and beyond the outstretched hand of Mendy. A super strike.
- 43'Kante brings down Saka with a loose challenge and hands Arsenal a free-kick in a dangerous position.
- 41'WIDE! Werner benefits from a deflection off Bellerin, but he rushes his right-footed strike from the edge of the box, placing it well wide of the right post.
- 39'Chelsea have struggled to find their rhythm in the first half. Lampard needs more from his players to get a foot in the contest.
- 37'Arsenal are on the front foot and continue to pressure the Chelsea backline. Bellerin has space and time, but drills his effort straight at Chilwell.
- 36'Arsenal have scored their first penalty goal against Chelsea in the Premier League since May 2007 (Gilberto Silva).
- 35'GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! LACAZETTE CONVERTS!!! 1-0 ARSENAL!!!! The Gunners take the lead as the Frenchman converts from 12 yards. Lacazette hammers his effort low and hard wtih his right foot away from Mendy into the bottom-right corner.
- 33'PENALTY TO ARSENAL! James brings down Tierney in the box and the referee points to the spot.
- 31'WIDE! Pulisic makes a good run down the left flank before he offloads to his right for Mount. The England man strikes at goal, but swerves his effort well wide of the right post.
- 30'OVER! Arsenal clear the danger from the Chelsea corner as far as James. He goes for a drive from distance, only to blast his attempt well over the bar.
- 29'BLOCK! Xhaka miscues a clearance and Werner nods the ball down to Abraham on the edge of the box. The forward lines up a strike at goal, but Mari throws his body in the way of the strike to divert it behind.
- 27'Smith Rowe collects down the left flank and he angles a cross towards Lacazette in the box, but Thiago Silva does well to beat out the forward in the air to clear.
- 25'CHANCE! Kante and Thiago Silva give away two fouls in the final third, but the referee plays advantage. Bellerin capitalises and surges into the right inside channel. He cuts the ball back for Smith Rowe, but he cannot connect on the slide. Martinelli gathers, but Kante diverts his left-footed strike behind for a corner.
- 24'Xhaka opts to launch a strike at goal from distance, but he can only smash his effort into the legs of Thiago Silva.
- 22'OVER! Zouma rises highest in the box to connect with Mount's cross from the right corner, but the Frenchman nods his effort over the bar.
- 21'Saka fails to control the ball on the left side of Arsenal's defence. It allows James to coast in behind and fire dangerous cross into the middle. Mari has to react to slide and knock it behind and away from Abraham.
- 20'BLOCK! Elneny gives the ball away and Werner surges into the left inside channel. Holding does enough to keep the German at bay, diverting his left-footed strike behind for a corner.
- 18'James and Pulisic combine down the right flank, but Holding is alert in the middle to head a cross from the full-back away from Abraham.
- 16'Mari wipes out Kovacic on the charge and goes into the book.
- 15'Chilwell sends a cross into the box from the left flank. Holding goes to clear, but sends it straight to Werner. The German fails to control it first time and spurns an opening in the final third.
- 11'Pulisic runs at the Arsenal defence once again and wins a free-kick as he is brought down by Xhaka. Chelsea are awarded a free-kick in a dangerous position.
- 9'Chelsea almost unlock the Arsenal defence as Pulisic raids into the final third. He offloads to Werner, who backheels towards Abraham. However, the ball just does not fall for the forward before Mari clears.
- 7'James presses forward down the right flank in response for the Blues, but he overhits his cross for Werner to the back post out for a goal-kick.
- 6'Xhaka launches a cross into the box from the left flank. Thiago Silva goes to clear his lines, but the ball deflects back off Lacazette. However, it falls nicely into the grasp of Mendy.
- 5'Xhaka has space down the left flank on this occasion and he keeps the pressure on the Blues by winning a corner.
- 4'Chelsea clear their lines from the corner, but Arsenal regroup and Tierney leads a surge down the left flank. He cuts back on to his right foot, but Zouma repels his delivery.
- 2'Tierney is played into space down the left flank and he wins a corner off the legs of James.
- 1'CHANCE! Saka sends Bellerin down the right flank and he floats a dangerous cross into the box. Thiago Silva fails to clear his lines and Martinelli reacts at the back post, only to steer his effort wide of the right post.
- 1'We're underway at the Emirates Stadium.
- -Arsenal lost this exact fixture 1-2 last season, despite being 1-0 ahead until the 83rd minute. They’ve not lost back-to-back home league games against Chelsea since November 2009.
- -Chelsea have made two changes to their side that beat West Ham last time out. Kovacic returns to the middle of the park in place of Jorginho, while James comes into the team in the back four to replace Azpilicueta. Both Azpilicueta and Jorginho drop to the bench.
- -The Gunners have made eight changes to their side that was beaten by City during the week. Leno comes back between the posts, while Tierney, Holding and Mari all return to the back three. Saka and Bellerin start in the wing-back positions. Xhaka is restored to the line-up after serving his three-match suspension. Smith Rowe joins Martinelli and Lacazette in the final third. Aubamenyang is fit again following a calf injury, but starts the game on the bench.
- -CHELSEA SUBS: Kepa Arrizabalaga, Antonio Rudiger, Jorginho, Olivier Giroud, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Billy Gilmour, Cesar Azpilicueta, Kai Havertz, Emerson.
- -CHELSEA (4-3-3): Edouard Mendy; Reece James, Kurt Zouma, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell; N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount; Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham, Timo Werner.
- -ARSENAL SUBS: Dani Ceballos, Runar Alex Runarsson, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Cedric Soares, Nicolas Pepe, Shkodran Mustafi, Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah.
- -ARSENAL (3-4-3): Bernd Leno; Rob Holding, Pablo Mari, Kieran Tierney; Hector Bellerin, Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka; Emile Smith Rowe, Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel Martinelli.
- -Chelsea put a run of back-to-back defeats behind them by easing past West Ham on Monday. The Blues lost pace in the title race by suffering losses at the hands of Everton and Wolves. Frank Lampard needed a response from his team and they duly responded courtesy of a first-half header from Thiago Silva and a brace from Tammy Abraham. They have to take that momentum back on the road where their form has been shaky of late.
- -The Gunners are in a downward spiral in the Premier League having failed to win in their last seven matches. Matters were made worse during the week when Manchester City dumped them out of the EFL Cup with a 4-1 hammering. The pressure is well and truly on Mikel Arteta, who can ill afford another defeat at the hands of a city rival. Arsenal begin the day only three points clear of the relegation zone. A positive result is imperative tonight.
