Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.

• Full Time ARSENAL 1-0 WEST BROM: What a day for Nasri. The Frenchman grabs the match-winning goal on his debut; the start of superb performance. Arsenal never really looked troubled by the Baggies, but will have to find that killer instinct further down the line this season. Certainly a satisfactory way to start the campaign

• 90

  Three minutes of injury time to be played

• 87

  What an effort from Van Persie who swivelled on a six-pence before prodding an effort just wide of the post. He certainly hasn't lost any guile on the touchline.

• 86

  But the cross is cleared easily at the front post

• 85

  Corner to West Brom who have certainly not given up hope of claiming a point from this game

• 81

  Substitution Another change from the visitors with Brunt replaced by Craig Beattie who will partner Bednar upfront.

• 80

  Cleared only as far as William Gallas who's effort ended up somewhere in row X

• 79

  Corner for the hosts, with Van Persie to swing one in...

• 74

  Substitution Now Tony Mowbray's turn to make a change. New signing Roman Bednar making his first Premier League appearance, replacing the largely frustrated Ishmael Miller.

• 73

  Substitution Another change from Wenger, Kolo Toure replacing Walcott. Johann Djourou is pushed into the middle of the park with Toure slotting into his familiar centre half berth.

• 69

  Substitution Arsene Wenger decides to shuffle his pack replacing Bendtner with Robin Van Persie to make his first home appearance of the season.

• 67

  Walcott crosses from the right for Adebayor to sweep home, only to be scuppered by the linesman's flag

• 64

  Eboue continuing to impress, but has unfortunately left his shooting boots at home

• 61

  Couple of half-chances here and there for both sides, but the goalkeepers have been largely redundant this period; except of course for that fabulous save from Almunia to deny Miller

• 57

  Arsenal still probing here, no chances of note though

• 53

  Adebayor released by Nasri with a sumptuous through ball, but the Togo interntional's effort missed Carson's left post by a matter of inches

• 52

  Ishmael Miller unleashes a fierce left foot strike, saved by Almunia with Djourou clearing off the line from Brunt's follow-up

• 50

  Adebayor with the Gunners' first real chance of the half, but his effort, albeit from a tricky angle, flashes well wide

• 46

  Arsenal get us underway in the second half...

• Half Time HALF-TIME - AFC 1-0 WBA: After a stunning start, Arsenal's patient probing reaped little more reward. West Brom deserve credit for digging deep, but it's Nasri's goal that separates the sides

• 42

  Nasri tests Carson from range. The Englishman needs a second chance to gather

• 39

  ...but headed away from the crowd of players

• 39

  Clichy tugged back just outside the box. An opportunity to fling one in from wide...

• 36

  Certainly a more even contest now, but Arsenal have rarely looked troubled. In fairness to the visitors, Scott Carson has had a great deal to do since he picked the ball out of the back of the net

• 33

  Eboue is impressing in the holding role so far this afternoon. The Ivorian has broken up play well and just weighed in with a testing shot from distance

• 30

  It has taken half an hour but Almunia has now made his first save of the afternoon. A smart stop round the post from Do-Heon Kim

• 28

  ...it fails to beat the first man

• 28

  A first corner of the afternoon for the Baggies...

• 27

  More tidy football on the right allows Walcott to cross, but it eludes everybody

• 25

  ..great leap from Bendtner but his header goes narrowly wide

• 24

  Having said that, in a flash Arsenal force another corner...

• 23

  West Brom are just starting to get into the rhythm of the game, although Almunia is yet to make a save

• 21

  Arsenal continuing to attack from all angles as Walcott and Adebayor combine nicely inside the area

• 18

  Defenders are making a habit of fierce shots from distance. Sagna this time, but his effort is deflected behind

• 15

  Slight dip in tempo on the field but the crowd remain in good voice. The sun is shining and those watching on are expectant

• 11

  WOW! What a strike from the captain. Gallas shuffles into the opposing half and unleashes a thunderous drive from fully 30-yards. It was only a matter of inches wide of the post

• 9

  The hosts are having all sorts of joy down the left side. They are popping the ball about at will - West Brom just don't know where to look

• 7

  One-way traffic here as Walcott has a header cleared off the line by Robinson. The Gunners are playing some great stuff already

• 4

  GOAL! - Samir Nasri 1 : 0 GOAL: Arsenal 1-0 WBA: Vintage Arsenal. Bendtner rolls in Clichy on the left flank who in turn slides the ball down the channel to Denilson. The Brazilian only needs one touch to set-up Nasri for a goal just five minutes into his debut

• 3

  ...cleared at the near post

• 3

  An early chance to swing one in from the corner...

• 2

  Early formation looks as if Eboue will play the holding role with Nasri on the left and Walcott on the right

• Kick Off So the Premier League is off and underway for 2008/09

• For the visitors, they field three new signings. Scott Carson is in goal, Marek Cech will be at full-back while Abdoulaye Meite is likely to anchor the midfield

• Big news on the teamsheet is that Samir Nasri makes his home debut in midfield. It appears that he will partner Denilson in the centre with Emmanuel Eboue and Theo Walcott on the flanks. Nicklas Bendtner starts up front with Emmanuel Adebayor

• Good early afternoon to everyone out there, and welcome to Arsenal TV Online's coverage from Emirates Stadium. The Gunners kick-off the Premier League campaign against newly promoted West Bromwich Albion
