It's turning into a fiesty affair at the Emirates, with the referee letting the game flow despite some hard challenges. 

Meanwhile, Joao Pedro sees Raya off his line and tries to lob him from miles out, but doesn't manage to.

36' ARS 1-1 CHE

GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! Kai Havertz for Arsenal! The former Chelsea man cuts in from the right wing and then slams in a low shot, and Emi Martinez is beaten at the near post! The Chelsea goalkeeper should've done much better there. Arsenal are back level!

25' ARS 1-1 CHE

Arsenal come on the attack immediately after Palmer's effort. Tzolis cuts in and finds Kai Havertz, who chooses to lay it back for Odegaard instead of shooting himself. That seems to have been the wrong decision, as Chelsea manage to clear it away.

23' ARS 0-1 CHE

Cole Palmer takes a shot at the Arsenal goal after cutting in from the right wing. Decent curling effort and Raya does well to hold on. Had he spilled it, a Chelsea man was right there to take advantage.

21' ARS 0-1 CHE

VAR rules out Arsenal's goal! A set-piece for Arsenal on the right, the free-kick is whipped into the box, and then Riccardo Calafiori scrambles it in. But it's OFFSIDE! Ezri Konsa was offside during the move.

13' ARS 0-1 CHE

Arsenal with some urgency in attack after conceding the early goal. A good move in the third minute of the game, a low cross from the right and Calafiori tries to meet it in the box but fails to. 

Moments later, Saka goes down in the box, but the referee does not award a penalty due to offside.

8' ARS 0-1 CHE

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! What a start for Chelsea! Early set piece for the Blues, the ball is whipped into the box, the rebound falls for Rogers on the edge of the box, who fires it in! Lovely low finish from Chelsea's 117 million-pound signing! Rogers scores after just 80 seconds of play!

2' ARS 0-1 CHE

WE ARE LIVE! The Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea is underway at the Emirates Stadium! Arsenal attacking from right to left in the first half.

1' ARS 0-0 CHE

We are minutes away from the start of the match as Arsenal and Chelsea players are making their way to the middle of the pitch. A huge game for both teams and also for the Premier League. Whose unbeaten run will come to an end tonight?

"When I first arrived in the Premier League after signing for Chelsea in 2020, I did not overthink it. I was young and wanted a new experience. I wanted to leave Germany, test myself, and grow as a player. I thought it might be easier than it turned out to be, but then in my first few games, I realised how intense the league really is. It was during COVID, so without fans, the atmosphere was different, but the pace and physicality were still a shock. For the first few weeks, I questioned if I had made the right choice. I struggled to make an impact and doubted myself. The first four or five months were really tough," Kai Havertz said.

Both teams have not lost a single game in this year's Premier League till now. While Arsenal have not even conceded a goal in their two matches, Chelsea scored an impressive 7 goals.
