29' - Jack Butland makes his first save of the match and it's an easy one as he catches Shkodran Mustafi's tame header after a good cross by Jack Wilshere.
36' - Stoke will surely be encouraged by how poor Arsenal have been in the first half. Their record at the Emirates is dreadful but today could be the day that they get that elusive first win at the home of the Gunners.
Mohamed Elneny has just collected a booking for a really late challenge on Joe Allen.
40' - Arsenal's Mohamed Elneny connects really nicely with a shot from distance but Bruno Martins Indi puts his body on the line and deflects the ball behind for a corner, which comes to nothing for the hosts.
Half-time - Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
And so ends one of the worst halves of football you're every likely to see.
All very boring stuff and a few boos can be heard around the Emirates as the players go down the tunnel.
51' - Unfortunately, Arsenal have picked up where they left off at the start of this second half. Still not really much worth telling you about has happened.
Meanwhile, at Stamford Bridge, Harry Kane is set to make his return in the day's late game between Chelsea and Spurs.
54' - A rare Arsenal attack involving Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck ends when the latter miscontrols the ball and it dribbles out of play.
Just about sums up the entire game.
