90
NOT LONG LEFT NOW: Arsenal are throwing everyone forward. But Chelsea are defending resolutely...
90
BLACKMAN CLAIMS: Two minutes of stoppage time left...
90
ARSENAL CORNER: Everyone bar Martinez goes forward…
90
GOAL! - Milan Lalkovic 2 : 1 Goal for Chelsea. Lalkovic has scored right at the death
90
FOUR MINUTES OF ADDED TIME: Can either side win the game in the regulation 90 minutes?
87
NO-ONE WILLING TO TAKE A RISK: Neither side want to push too many men forward and they are both cancelling each other out at the moment
85
MEADE DOWN: This could be cramp. Meade is playing his first game for a while and has run his heart out today.
84
ANEKE AND AFOBE LINK UP: The pair play a great one-two on the edge of the area and Afobe is in on goal, but for a great last-ditch challenge from Pappoe
82
CAN EITHER SIDE FIND A WINNER?: Just under ten minutes to go now and it’s evenly poised. You feel a goal now would win the game..
80
Substitution ARSENAL CHANGE: Angha on for Hajrovic
79
OH, SO CLOSE FROM MIQUEL: Well worked from Arsenal, that one was straight off the training ground. Ozyakup cut the free kick back to to Miquel who had peeled away and his left-footed effort was deflected inches wide of the left post
77
MEADE WINS A FREE KICK: In a VERY dangerous position. He wins the ball off a Chelsea player before attacking Clifford on the left. Meade goes past him before being clipped right on the edge of the area
76
CHANGE IMMINENT: Angha is stripped, receiving a few instructions from Bould and ready to come on
75
CONTEH DRILLS A BALL ACROSS THE FACE: The left back gets forward well before hitting a fierce drive across Martinez and behind for a goal kick
73
Substitution Rodgers comes on to replace him
70
CHELSEA MAN DOWN: Kane is in a heap and he looks in a fair bit of pain after pulling up. There was no-one around him but he is forced to come off
68
MARTINEZ STANDS UP WELL: Saville bursts into the area and forces a good stop from the ‘keeper who beats the ball away
67
WHAT A LET OFF: A free kick is whipped to the back post and, unmarked, Devyne somehow missed the target from a yard with the goal at his mercy
66
AS I SAY THAT: Ozyakup feeds Aneke and only an expertly-timed challenge from Chalobah prevents the forward having a strike at goal
65
CHELSEA ON TOP: You have to say, since that goal the home side have enjoyed more of the play and Arsenal are on the back foot slightly now
62
CLOSE FROM LALKOVIC: The goalscorer has a go from distance and isn’t far away from the right-hand post. Martinez had that once covered though
60
AFOBE NEARLY POUNCES: Ozyakup whips in a great ball from the right and, when everyone misses it, Afobe tries to acrobatically divert the ball goalwards at the back post. With his back to goal the forward just can't get anything on it and the ball runs out for a goal kick
57
Substitution CHALSEA CHANGE: Nditi on for Sampayo
56
AFOBE CAN’T QUITE REACH IT: Ozyakup plays a fantastic ball over the top in search of the striker. On the stretch, Afobe can’t get anything on it as he looks to lob the ‘keeper. Very unlucky
54
MARTINEZ GATHERS: Lalkovic feeds a ball to the near post and goalkeeper is alert and falls on the ball
52
ALL A BIT SCAPPY: No chances to note, or even any sustained attacks at the moment
50
A REAL SHAME: Arsenal had started on the front in the second period but that error has let Chelsea back into the game. Miquel, Hajrovic and Martinez all left it to each other and Lalkovic pounced
49
A mix up in the Arsenal defence lets in the forward and he makes no mistake in slotting the ball under Martinez
49
GOAL! - Milan Lalkovic 1 : 1 Goal for Chelsea: 1-1..
47
INCHES OVER FROM ANEKE: That was so close! A free kick is lifted to the back post and Aneke’s looping header creeps agonisingly over the crossbar
Kick Off ANEKE AND OZYAKUP RESTART THE GAME: Arsenal attacking the goal away to the left, where the majority of Arsenal fans are situated
45
PLAYERS ARE BACK OUT: I can’t see any change from Arsenal. Nope, it’s as you were for the Gunners.
Half Time HALF TIME: Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal. Steve Bould will be very happy with his side so far. The Gunners lead at the break…
44
CHALOBAH CLEARS OFF THE LINE: Afobe makes some space on the left of the area but he seems to slip as he gets his shot away. He can’t really get enough power on the it and, although it beats Blackman, the Chelsea defender gets back to clear from under his crossbar
43
TEASING BALL FROM ANEKE: It only needed a touch! The forward gets to the byline on the left and slides the ball right across the face of goal. Unfortunately, there is no-one in a red shirt there to convert
42
FIRST REAL SIGN OF McEACHRAN: We have heard a lot about this kid and he nearly showed why is so highly throught of at Stamford Bridge. He shows great skill to get a shot away from just outside the area and his effort goes just wide of the far post
41
OZYAKUP HACKS AWAY: Chelsea are starting to enjoy more of it now. From a corner, the midfielder is forced the clear from under his crossbar
39
SO NEARLY 2-0: Great link-up from Rees and Boateng as the defender gets to the byline before cutting the ball across the six-yard box for the waiting Afobe. Just as the striker is about to tap into the empty net, Pappoe comes from nowhere to make a great sliding clearance
37
NEAT GIVE AND GO: Aneke and Rees play a decent one-two inside the area and it nearly creates a shooting chance for the latter. But Pappoe comes across to get his body in-front of Rees and clear
35
ANEKE RISES HIGHEST: Form that corner Aneke meets it at the near post but can’t get any power behind his header and Blackman makes a comfortable save
34
AFOBE WINS A CORNER: He spins away from his defender and is found by Boateng down by the right corner flag. Intelligently, he knocks the ball off the defender to win a corner
32
TEMPO: Since that long break in play neither side has managed to get back into their rhythm. Chelsea have created that chance from Lalkovic but Arsenal look strong in midfield
31
HAJROVIC SLIPS: At a crucial moment and Lalkovic steals in on the left of the area. The forward tries to bend an effort towards the far post and, let me tell you, he wasn’t far away there
30
AMBITIOUS FROM MEADE: The winger has a go from all over 30 yards and it sails harmlessly over the bar
29
TACTICS: Rees has come over the right and Ebecilio has moved in the void filled by Yennaris
27
LONG BREAK IN PLAY: The game was stopped for a good five minutes there but we’re back underway now
26
Substitution STANDING OVATION: Yennaris leaves the field on a stretcher and Rees comes on in place of him.
23
BREAK IN PLAY: And this doesn’t look good for Yennaris. He goes in for a 50/50 with Saville and comes off worse. No blame attached to the Chelsea man but Yennaris looks like he can’t continue. The stretcher is on and Rees is stripped and ready to come on
21
GOALMOUTH SCRAMBLE: Chelsea attack and Hajrovic and then Miquel are forced the desperately clear
20
OH MY WORD: Martinez has just pulled of a wonder save from Pappoe. The Chelsea captain rises highest from a corner and his effort is heading into the top-right corner before the ‘keeper somehow manages to get his left hand to the ball. That was incredible, what a save!
19
BOATENG WEAVES HIS WAY THROUGH: The defender goes forward and beats three men before hitting a weak shot straight at Blackman from a tight angle
17
ARSENAL LOOKING SOLID DEFENSIVELY: The midfield and defence are looking decent at the moment and Chelsea are being forced to play long ball over the top. Arsenal won’t mind that
16
GREAT PLAY FROM MEADE: Aneke feeds his team-mate on the left and Meade then leaves two Chelsea defenders for dead. He bursts into the area and, just as he is about to shoot, Kane gets back to make a wonderful sliding tackle
14
YENNARIS AND OZYAKUP: That pair are doing really well in the centre of the park in breaking up the play
12
IT’S IN THE NET: But the flag had long-since been up and Chelsea’s celebrations are cut short. Clifford is wheeling away at the far post but the goal won’t stand
10
OFF THE LINE FROM MIQUEL: What a clearance from the skipper! Clifford is free on the right of the area and he drills the ball low at the far post. Miquel sicks out a leg right under his crossbar to divert the ball over. That was vital
9
TACTICS: Arsenal are playing their usual 4-2-3-1 with Ebecilio on the right, Aneke through the middle and Meade on the left. All in support, of course, of Afobe
7
THAT HAS TO BE A PENALTY: Surely, how has he not given that?! Afobe races clear before being clipped by the sliding Chalobah who was the last man. I can’t believe the referee hasn’t given that, he is saying the defender touched the ball but I was right behind that and he was nowhere near it!
4
WHAT A START: The home fans are stunned, Arsenal have started really rightly here
3
MARTINEZ SHOWS GOOD REFLEXES: Lalkovic latches onto a ball over the top and tries to loft an effort over the ‘keeper. But Martinez stands up well and makes a good save high to his right to tip the ball behind
2
Ozyakup whips in a corner and it comes last off the head of Clifford before going into the far corner. Hajrovic was claiming that but, make no mistake about it, that is an own goal. But Arsenal won’t care. 1-0!
2
GOAL! - Billy Clifford 0 : 1 GOAL FOR ARSENAL! Hajrovic wheels away. What a start….
2
FIRST TOUCH FOR AFOBE: And he wins a corner away to left
1
AND WE’RE OFF: Chelsea get us underway and Arsenal will be kicking from left to right in this first half
THROW BACK TO THE OLD DAYS: Arsenal in red shirts, white shorts and red socks. Chelsea in all blue. Red v blue, Arsenal v Chelsea. COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
HERE THEY COME: Arsenal led out by skipper Ignasi Miquel…
‘Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal….’ The Gooners in here are making some noise to my left
The two teams are just being announced and the last few people are quickly getting to their seats, including Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti who is here. No word on whether Arsène is in the building. I will keep you up to date…
Let me remind you that there must be a result tonight. So that means we could face the dreaded penalties…
By the way, for our opponents tonight, the highly-rated Joshua McEachran starts
The players have made their way back down the tunnel and kick off is now just ten minutes away
Stamford Bridge is starting to gradually fill up and, from what I gather, there will around 7,00o fans in here tonight. The lower tiers behind both the goal and the dugouts are being used and you can see scatterings of Arsenal red all over the place.
So the big news is that Benik Afobe has been passed fit and will start the game for Arsenal. He’s warming up away to my left with the rest of the team and, more big news, the young striker is wearing PINK boots
The Arsenal subs tonight are: Rees, McDermott, Angha, Bihmoutine, Monakana
Steve Bould's starting XI is: Martinez, Boateng, Brislen-Hall, Yennaris, Miquel, Hajrovic, Ebecilio, Ozyakup, Afobe, Aneke, Meade
I’m Giuseppe Muro and will be bringing you unashamedly Arsenal-centric coverage of tonight’s game. My first job is to bring the Arsenal line-up, I have a team sheet in my hand so here goes…
Welcome to Stamford Bridge for minute by minute coverage of tonight’s FA Youth Cup Fourth-Round tie. For the boys out there tonight, it doesn’t get much bigger than this.
Arsenal against Chelsea, no matter what the level, is ALWAYS a massive game.
