been a lot of change in rotation at the back. There's
no Rudy get today. He's got a groin injury sauce starts,
which James can be
sent back or wingback. We have a Centre back here. So
azpilicueta. Alonso will be in the wing, but roles and locked.
His cheek gets to start. After coming on, to cover Church. You
picked up an ankle injury, so, he'll put in a country in
the middle of the field ahead of him.
Mason mounts in good form,
temporarily goals A Plumbing Leak or CFCs 100th Premier
League appearance today, but the big news is romelu Lukaku
gets a store. Or he's not started in the Premier League
since February, the 19th in. These managers says,
he gets the chance to spark and one man, who is barking.
Timo, Bernhard, three goals in his last three. Appearances in
all competitions over, on the other side, Arsenal trying to
avoid that four-game losing streak 13news. Rubber must.
Well, they've been a couple of changes on that and been white
number for that comes in to the side. Now. I've
got him down as a right back. There is a,
you know, a scenario where he could play. As one of three
centre-backs, you could see number 20, playing as
a wingback noon to virus and Sakura as well, but this for me
is more.
Likely, we know that arteta likes to kind of change system
depending on who's got the ball and cetera but it is away from
them. It is at Chelsea who play a five of the back. So it's
conceivable that they match up the system and then he's
an interesting switch in the middle of midfielder, Conga.
Not
I guess favor at the moment. Dropped to the bench as we
said, sack on the right hand side and kitty are continues,
as lacazette, as recovered from covid, but only good enough to
start on the bench
and Will Smith row gets to start on the left hand side
the perfect night for it, in West London, Chelsea sit
comfortably in third place and They can look forward to an FA
Cup, Final date with Liverpool next month
and also an imminent, take over the scenario a little more
frantic for Arsenal only a month ago. They were in fourth
spot for points. Clear of Manchester United,
six, clear of Tottenham,
but four defeats in five is severely dented their
Champions League hopes.
If they win their last seven games, they will secure
a return to Europe's top table. Which Mikhail arteta Clause
a game changer for the club.
Since it in click on is good. And if also owns owns it aside,
Mexican fire a deflection
and it's a corner kick
swinging by mount it on target. It would have been an Olympic
over his head. It off the line by Gabrielle
Ramsey struggled on both of those and he completely misread
the Flight of the ball on that corner as well. I was under
a bit more pressure, but
Twice, he's got underneath the ball
and Ben Wyatt has the
ability to come out the school board. By jacket. The cross is
intersected. World
Savino did Edouard Mehndi at the near post and he had to as
well, they were red and white shirts and during the six yard
box.
His cheeks too. Well,
here's the car to into the penalty area. Gets a shot away
and it flashes across God.
It's a little bit too easy for Chelsea there.
Conquer my able to finish, but
up to shoot winning the ball. Well, setting Lukaku, free to
take some down the side.
The Arsenal Defender is Zachary, was there to defend,
it does enough to force him
into Right Center back without asking to quetta of right-wing
back. Now. I've just cheek scored it Wembley at
the weekend, his first goal for Chelsea for three years, almost
14, and qetsiyah to chase.
That's going to be less shorts
and catch. It could be in for Arsenal at his school.
His first Premier League goal of the Season,
his first since April
of last year,
the mistake by kristensen. He scratches his head. He can't
believe it.
Our Arsenal's goalscoring, woes over what a gift for
the Gunners chelsina last in a while. That's a terrible
mistake, which is chases lost causes,
but that outside of the force, not Enough.
And this is what qetsiyah can do.
He is a goal scorer, former Arsenal goal scorer in right. A
big fan of his since give him a chance and he will score goals.
And this is a poacher's goal.
He gets on the end of it, keeps his head
low Ferb in the corner Mehndi.
No chance.
Christensen
looking to the skies.
That's first touch pass there by Lukaku.
It was all over. I think he
realized
burner. Once again. It's going to have a go takes
a deflection.
Helping to his right hand side. Teemo burner is getting
a little bit of luck at last. It is Chelsea Career.
To take him to deflection on his way, it in balls, into
the corner of the net and
Chelsea are level.
And these pulsating, London Derby
at Chelsea. Dominating possession and territory
again, Arsenal. Give give Chelsea a chance to come and
lick the ball. That's locked, his cheek there. And then
burner
confident, at the moment gets very lucky with that as he cuts
inside,
don't quite know what he's doing when he cuts inside here,
whether this is a shock.
Presume. It's a shot. But he certainly wasn't expecting
the deflections
Ramsdell had no chance in the Arsenal goal comes off the in
Unser underside of a leg and
ricochets into that corner.
With the byline,
it's the ball in, make sure Mouse. Is it why
the getting onto the edge
and just inside Arsenal's penalty area, a little bit too
easily, Chelsea, players
back to the goal. No one in front of the no screen.
That's set up there by Alonzo. That's dangerous territory.
Difficult technique for Mason Mount to finish their but
also, it's got plenty of time unopposed to set that back to
him. Yeah.
I just thought for a minute that on pencils. I did
just less, that
burner
mustard of footwork
holding, just manages to find jackar, and he nutmegs Alonzo
and somehow they get out of it astral.
And now they've got a chance on the counter-attack odegard.
Fine, shakka edge of the penalty area is in qetsiyah
is odegard and the shot, and he's passed into the corner.
It's beautiful from Smith row.
A Skull
again, Brave football from Arsenal
Smith row,
only the second 21 year old or under to hit double figures in
the Premier League for Arsenal.
What a game we have here,
this young Arsenal side undeterred not in the greatest
of form,
but they lead to, Once down for breach.
What a goal. That is we spoke about Liverpool's go yesterday
being
almost perfect team. Go. Look at this. How they get away with
this bit is beyond me.
Jack are going through, someone's leg on legs, on
the edge of his own penalty area, massively high risk, he gets
away with it
odegard, composed and aware very selfless and then breaking
forward and sacca in that one, be one situation.
Again, lovely link up play older God's simple passing,
great support by Smith row
and a lovely finish. How easy does it make that look just
Side. Putting it into that far corner.
by
summoning of Ben, Dwight
was just possessed here
and some out with the cry.
Says,
after the quitter
to the fabulous gold, and that's why he's right wing.
Back in this formation by slava's Suka,
you score. We score 31 minutes gone. Chelsea to Arsenal to.
You've got to be aware your left back to the IRS. Just look
at the top of your screen. That's been a quitter Gap in
between Tavares. You has to be first there. They give the ball
away again.
And when the ball comes in
is first to it, just pokes out his right foot.
Alyssa Defender, you always have to be the one in front of
the attacker
is simple
Tavares asleep at the far post. Not the first time
Chelsea, a bucket
that has been a brief VAR review and Jon Moss has
confirmed that the check is complete and the goal will
stand. Yeah and look like a
potential Challenge on Ben White who
went to the floor.
The desire to get to the ball anticipation. You can do that
as a forward in the Box as a Defender. You've got to be
pessimistic. You've got to think the forwards going to go
into that space and he did
you've got to get there. Let's cheer.
Wow, left footed inches wide.
Such an open game, isn't it?
My Applause from the
traveling supporters away to our left hand side. Just
delightful Again by odegard, is now all of that.
Really good football.
There he is again. There is options here.
To the Penalty area Smith. Row
wasn't far away from his second.
I'll just check his feet out. Don't really need to say
anything. Just watch the ability close control.
Talk about young English talent. What's this?
Absolutely fabulous. Just the Finish
missing,
quite rightly got number 10 on his back because he's a player.
Giving away
slot Ali Bhai until a quitter. A TIA.
It's a good turn. It was an excellent challenge of catching
still there.
Two sisters from heading catcha.
He scores his second of the game
and Arsenal in the lead again. And this extraordinary London
Derby.
He has been fabulous tonight. Leading that Gunners line,
Chelsea to Arsenal three, they are desperate for three points
to keep their Champions League hopes alive. And what
a performance, they're putting in here. Well,
when you see him like this, you wonder why it doesn't get more
goals.
So, it's about a poacher's goal. The first one, he was
away One V, one and kept his cool and put it away this time.
Just perseverance,
fight desire.
Chelsea. Give the ball away little bit. A look there.
Bounces back into him, but he just keeps going
the to
Chelsea Defenders get in each other's way.
And it's in Ketty as fault that finds the ball right in between
them there.
Mendicant react is quick ball, bouncing. They're all looking
for it. Only one finds it.
Brilliant pictures. That was on there.
Loftus cheek.
He's James. Oh, it's a lovely ball across chance of the edge
of the six yard box for a Lawns. Oh and it isn't cleared
yet and been white finally does. So
this is the Chelsea chance
delightful ball in from that right hand side by res James
and the balls ricocheting around.
I'm liking
the Arsenal, goal. It failed to fall at the feet of a Chelsea
player.
That's that and then I'll signal
it. A four-point lead and then they start to lose games.
That's a rash challenge but Advantage being played
and drink, but the cross is gone. All the way across
the face of goal too far is that he drags his shot wide, what
a chance,
what a chance on the counter attack there. For Arsenal, to
seal the points. What
opportunity for Cedric just to pick Martinelli out, just watch
Martinelli
middle of the pitch.
The title goes in and he comes out with a ball and he's just
their role in his. It just takes one more Touch
by that time. It's gone. The chance is gone.
Bass is gone.
Cedric.
As in the penalty area, being wrestled to the ground penalty.
I don't think there's any doubt about it says are a spill
equator wasn't even looking at the ball.
I think sack is holding as public WETA here. Given
the reaction because that was so blatant. Otherwise
Then we're just going to see. She's got a hold of his arm
there and he's pulling him a lot yellow for Hezbollah quit.
This is going to go. This is going to get turned. Can't be
at. That's not penalty. Is it? This is going to get
overturned.
He's got hold of his arm Sacco and he's pulling it.
It's not a penalty,
and it appears penalty.
Will be taken
to seal the points soccer scores
a famous night in West London
for the north London as of Arsenal.
They will draw level tonight on points with charm Hotspur.
They are back in the thick of the race
for Champions League football.
What a magnificent performance
by Miguel. Arteta has
young Gunners tonight.
Chelsea, to Arsenal for
a predator, Arsenal
Credit to the man, taking the penalty and credit for the way.
He fooled, the referee into giving a penalty. That wasn't
a penalty.
That's one of the most absurd. Asians it just shows that
officials don't understand
what players do.
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book
holding onto a player and
locking your arm into theirs.
They have the advantage of
being able to review it and they still can't come to
the correct position.
It's been an eventful night forces are as below quetta.
Let's take a look at the penalty.
I think he's exercised
or two demons with that
confidence, strike the Caius a cup and he scored 10 goals in
the Premier League. Now this season the same as m l Smith
row,
get likes on the sidelines,
the Miguel arteta and Captain
lacazette.
A magnificent performance by Miguel arteta as Arsenal.
They hold her and of three straight defeats. They are
right back in the thick of the top four. Race level on points
with Tottenham Hotspur
six games to go including an all-important
North London Derby.
Gentlemen, We Shall reconvene
at the weekend. Thank you for your efforts are Med what
a night here at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea to Arsenal for.
