Arsenal vs Chelsea LIVE: Result and reaction from London derby as Gunners go back top of Premier League

24 mins: Save! Finally there’s a response from Chelsea. Enzo Fernandez flicks the ball over the top and plays in Ben Chilwell. He bursts past Bukayo Saka to recover the ball then drives it into the penalty area.

Ben White sprints back to challenge him but Chilwell gets off a shot and forces Aaron Ramsdale to push the ball wide of the far post.

Great save!

21 mins: This is just the start that Mikel Arteta and Arsenal would have been hoping for. Chelsea have to respond somehow but they’re been forced further and further into their own half.

Can they wrestle some momentum away from the Gunners?

18 mins: There’s the opener and it has been coming!

Granit Xhaka is fed the ball out on the left side. He brings it to the side of the box before squaring a pass into the feet of Martin Odegaard.

He’s positioned just inside the penalty area and rolls a left-footed shot towards the near top corner. Kepa Arrizabalaga gets a hand on the shot and pushes it onto the underside of the crossbar but it bounces in off the woodwork!

15 mins: Close! A quick corner from Arsenal gets worked to the edge of the box where Jorginho slips it back out wide to Leandro Trossard.

Trossard whips a cross into the middle of the box and finds Bukayo Saka who leaps highest and turns a headed effort towards goal. Kepa Arrizabalaga jumps over to the left and turns the ball wide of the far post.

12 mins: Granit Xhaka makes a run into space down the inside left channel and is slipped the ball by Gabriel Jesus. Xhaka’s first touch is poor which allows N’Golo Kante enough time to nip back and recover the ball.

As these opening minutes have developed it’s been Arsenal pushing their weight around and trying to get into Chelsea’s final third. The Blues are slightly under pressure here and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks increasingly isolated up top.

9 mins: There’s been a few physical tackles throw in from both teams already in this game. The referee is letting most of them go and allowing the play to flow.

Thiago Silva shepherds a loose ball out for a goal kick and Bukayo Silva gives him a nudge sending the defender into the advertising boards.

6 mins: Save! A long ball up the pitch from Jakub Kiwior comes to Gabriel Jesus inside the box. The striker does enough to nod the ball down to the left side of the penalty area where it bounces up for Cesar Azpilicueta.

The Chelsea captain attempts to nod the ball back to Kepa Arrizabalaga but underhits the header, Granit Xhaka bursts past him then pokes the ball towards goal but can’t get it around the goalkeeper who drops low to keep it out!

3 mins: Noni Madueke is given the ball on the right wing for Chelsea. He’ll want to impress tonight but his first real involvement sees Oleksandr Zinchenko press up quickly and poke the ball out for a throw in.

Chelsea get the match underway at the Emirates stadium. They send the ball over to Cesar Azpilicueta before the Blues switch the play.

The try to find a way into the Arsenal box through Raheem Sterling but the Gunners recover the ball and send it up to Bukayo Saka who flies into space on the right side.

He carries the ball into the final third and goes for goal but his effort gets blocked. Some start this.

Mikel Arteta’s side have won a top-flight record nine of their 11 London derbies this season, drawing the other two. Will they add another victory to the tally tonight?
