Nasri's efforts are too little too late for Arsenal as Albion record a famous win here at the Emirates.
Full Time FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 2 WEST BROM 3
90
WILSHERE CROSSES... and Rosicky fires just over on the volley! So close to the equaliser. And that might just be that
90
ARSENAL STILL PRESSING: Cross into the box and it won't quite fall for Song. But Arsenal get a corner... Carson punches clear. Another corner
90
ARSHAVIN SHOOTS... but Carson dives to his left to claim comfortably
90
SURELY ARSENAL CAN'T RESCUE IT?! Still three minutes of stoppages left. Arsenal are throwing everything forward
90
NASRI DOES IT AGAIN! Arshavin passes to Nasri inside the box and the Frenchman slots past Carson to set up a grandstand finish
90
GOAL! - Samir Nasri 2 : 3 GOAL! ARSENAL 2 WEST BROM 3
90
FIVE MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME: And Arsenal keep coming forward
90
CHAMAKH WITH THE HEADER! But Carson saves. Flick on from Squillaci but Chamakh's effort lacked power.
89
SANSOM: 'It's just not happening. Arsenal have played as individuals today'. Have your say via www.arsenal.com/studio
89
SONG BURSTS INTO THE BOX: He tries to lift a cheeky pass over a defender's head but again the move breaks down
88
NASRI IN THE BOX... he chests down but can't get a shot away. Too many bodies in front of him. It goes out to Sagna, he crosses but Carson claims
87

86
ARSENAL FANS LEAVING: Lots are heading home early. They really were not expecting this today. A massive chance to cut the gap at the top is fading away
85
ARSENAL CROWDED OUT AGAIN: Song to Sagna to Nasri but he can't get his cross in quickly and has to check before trying again. Albion win another easy header
83
Substitution WEST BROM SUB: Thomas goes off and on comes Somen Tchoyi
82
VERY CONGESTED AROUND ALBION'S BOX: Arsenal can't find a way through the visitors' massed defence. They need some inspiration but Albion are well-drilled and very impressive. Hats off to them and their manager, Roberto Di Matteo
81
ARSHAVIN CROSSES... but like so much of Arsenal's play today it's half-hearted and Albion clear easily
81

80
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Rosicky goes in the book for a late challenge on Reid
80
TEN MINUTES TO GO... plus stoppages of course. Arsenal need something and they need it quickly
79
ALBION ON THE COUNTER-ATTACK: Odemwingie leads the charge but the flag goes up when Brunt finds Thomas with a crossfield pass
77
Substitution WEST BROM SUB: Dorrans comes on for Morrison
77
ATTENDANCE: 60,025 at the Emirates today. Most of them are desperate to see a famous comeback. Fabregas, Walcott and Vermaelen look crestfallen on the bench
76
CRAZY FIVE MINUTES HERE: The defending was terrible for Albion's third goal - basic mistakes were made. But Arsenal are not out of this yet thanks to Nasri. He has been the home side's best player today
76
LOVELY STRIKE FROM NASRI: He cuts inside two defenders and slides a shot past Carson. Quarter of an hour to go and Arsenal still need a couple
76
GOAL! - Samir Nasri 1 : 3 GOAL! ARSENAL 1 WEST BROM 3
75
NASRI HITS THE BAR! I think Carson got something on that. If he did it was a wonderful save
74
GREAT BALL WILSHERE... but Chamakh cannot quite get on the end of it.
73
WELL THAT WAS JUST DREADFUL: Arsenal give the ball away, Brunt breaks into the box, Almunia comes out but has to back-track and Brunt squares for former Gunner Thomas to score
73
GOAL! - Jerome Thomas 0 : 3 GOAL! ARSENAL 0 WEST BROM 3
71
Substitution WEST BROM SUB: Scharner is replaced by Reid
70
TIME RUNNING OUT: Chamakh bursts into the box and that's a good challenge. Nasri goes over to take the corner... good header out. Albion defending manfully
70

69
NASRI SHOOTS... but another deflection denies Arsenal. Albion break and Clichy is penalised for a tackle on Scharner.
68
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Scharner is booked for that challenge on Arshavin.
68
NASTY CHALLENGE BY SCHARNER: Arshavin was the victim and that's a free kick.
67
CORNER TO ARSENAL: But it's a poor one, cleared at the near post.
66
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Wenger plays his last card - Vela comes on for Koscielny.
66
NASRI GOES DOWN THE LEFT... and his cross is met by Song but the header goes wide. Much better from Arsenal
64
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Chamakh gets a booking for that. Seems a bit harsh. It was a genuine attempt for the ball
63
CHAMAKH SLIDES IN ON CARSON... that was a nasty collision inside the box and Albion get a free kick
63

62
MORE SLOPPINESS FROM ARSENAL: Rosicky's flick doesn't come off and Albion will look to prosper on the break. Nothing doing there though.
60
PENALTY SHOUT! Nasri tumbles inside the box but the referee says no. Jara seemed to impede Nasri.
59
FINALLY ARSENAL ARE RAISING THE TEMPO: But Albion are happy to defend their penalty area. They have the goals they need, now they just need to keep it tight
58
ARSENAL ON THE ATTACK: Nasri jinks inside the area, shot is deflected to Chamakh. He finds Rosicky and his shot hits a defender and goes wide.
57
PLENTY OF TIME LEFT: Arsenal have 33 minutes plus stoppages to do something about this. A point is the very least they need to make up some ground on Chelsea.
57
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Rosicky is coming on too. Diaby goes off - he's looked rusty today after that injury
56
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: On comes Wilshere. He replaces Eboue
54
THE EMIRATES IS STUNNED: Vela, Rosicky and Wilshere are all warming up. And no wonder. And to be honest Albion are worth their lead. Don't forget they missed a penalty in the first half too
52
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Jara is booked for his over-zealous celebration but he won't mind that
52
OH MY WORD. Gonzalo Jara gets into the box on the right and gets a yard on Kosciely to fire in a low shot... and Almunia parries it into the net. Bad mistake from the keeper
52
GOAL! - Gonzalo Jara Reyes 0 : 2 GOAL! ARSENAL 0 WEST BROM 2
50
DAN ROEBUCK: 'What a signing Odemwingie has been from Lokomotiv Moscow'. He's right, the Nigerian international has caused Arsenal plenty of problems
50
YOU CAN'T SAY IT WASN'T COMING: Jerome Thomas skins Sagna on Albion's left and squares for Peter Odemwingie to fire the visitors into a shock lead
50
GOAL! - Peter Odemwingie 0 : 1 GOAL! ARSENAL 0 WEST BROM 1
48
GREAT CHANCE ALBION! The visitors break at pace and carve Arsenal open through the middle. But Morrison neglects to shoot and tries to find a team-mate. It's the wrong decision and Sagna clears
47
CORNER TO ARSENAL: The home fans get behind their team but Koscielny can't direct Arshavin's cross goalwards. Brace yourselves for some frustration
Kick Off ALBION GET US STARTED: Arsenal now attacking the Clock End and they need to step it up now.
45
Vermaelen, Fabregas, Gibbs, Walcott: all four seated together behind the bench. Arsenal could do with them now.
45
'Give It Up' by KC & the Sunshine Band is playing over the tannoy. Observant Gooners among you will know that is the tune for the new Nasri terrace chant. Altogether now: 'Na na na na na na na na na na now - Samir Naz-er-ree, Naz-er-ree, Samir Naz-er-ree'
45
No goals in the first half then. Arsenal have been a bit sloppy but Sagna and Chamakh have had half-chances while Arshavin hit the post twice in a matter of seconds. But Albion had the best opening when Brunt's penalty was saved well by Almunia. I'm off for a hot cuppa - see you back here for the second half.
Half Time HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 0-0 WEST BROM
45
FREE-KICK ARSENAL: Sagna is hacked down, that was reckless. Bit of anger from Albion there. Arshavin curls it in... and Sagna forces a great tip-over!
45
NASRI GOT SOME STICK FOR THAT: Ibanez was on the deck and Albion wanted the ball kicked off. Instead Arsenal have a throw and this will be the last action of the half
45
INTO STOPPAGE TIME... Wenger stands with his hands in his pockets in the technical area. Here's Nasri, he slaloms into the box but is forced wide and then wins a throw.
44
ARSENAL NOWHERE NEAR THEIR BEST: They are fighting for scraps but can't find their rhythm. Worrying for Wenger and don't be surprised to see Wilshere and Rosicky after the break
42
SQUILLACI HEADS JUST OVER! Good ball in by Arshavin after his first cross was half-cleared. Chamakh was just behind Squillaci and should have called for it
41
FREE-KICK TO ARSENAL: Song is tripped by the right touchline. Arshavin will take it... Sagna gets his head on it and there's a shout for handball. Corner instead
39
ARSENAL ESCAPE... but Albion are still on top. They have a corner now and Arsenal really are struggling to impose themselves on this game. In it comes and Scharner heads over
38
WONDERFUL SAVE FROM ALMUNIA! Brilliant stuff from the Spaniard. He gets down to his right to stop Chris Brunt's spot-kick. 'You see, he is a good goalkeeper!' laughs Kenny. Redemption for Manuel after giving away the penalty
37
YELLOW CARD: Almunia goes in the book for that - but he has bigger concerns right now...
37
PENALTY TO WEST BROM! Almunia races out and brings down Odemwingie. No doubt about that.
35
FOUL ON ARSHAVIN: That was a push by Jara. Free-kick is clipped into the box by Nasri and Carson punches. But back in it comes and Nasri volleys over. Good connection but too high
34
EBOUE CUTS INSIDE FROM THE LEFT: The Ivorian gets a shot away and it deflects behind for a corner... but once again Albion are able to clear.
32
NO REAL PENETRATION FROM ARSENAL: This time Sagna's cross lacks accuracy. Fabregas and Gibbs look on from the bench with furrowed brows and Wenger looks concerned in the technical area
31
ALBION FORCING THE ISSUE: They are well-organised and good on the ball. Arsenal have a real game on their hands here.
29
SANSOM: 'He gets some stick but I think Almunia is a good goalkeeper'. Have your say at www.arsenal.com/studio
28
NASRI DAWDLING: Too casual from him on the edge of the box. Albion get it back and Morrison crosses only for Almunia to claim confidently
27
ALBION HIT THE POST! Odemwingie cuts inside and fires in a low shot which Almunia fingertips onto the post. Good break from the visitors
25
NASRI SHOOTS FROM DISTANCE... it goes two yards wide. Positive stuff from Samir though. He is doing a decent enough job in the Fabregas role
23
EBOUE BROUGHT DOWN: 'He does wander,' says Kenny as Eboue finds himself on the left flank and is fouled. Arshavin's in-swinger is cleared away though.
22
CRUNCHING CHALLENGE FROM SQUILLACI: It was a 50:50 and he won it against Thomas. Pure commitment.
21
KOSCIELNY GOES DOWN: He looks a bit winded but will be OK. Frank Skinner is here in the directors' box, in case you're interested. Big Baggies fan of course
20
SANSOM: 'If you've got a centre forward who likes to head the ball, that encourages others to cross it'. Chamakh certainly giving Arsenal something extra this season
19
CHAMAKH HEADS WIDE! Good ball in from Sagna and Chamakh shows great strength to get across his man and power in a header. It did take a deflection and Arsenal have a corner... which comes to nothing
18
SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT: Arsenal have a bit more fluidity now but still no breakthrough. Lots of crosses, no cutting edge - yet
15
NASRI SLICES OVER: Sagna has five to aim at in the box, his cross deflects towards Nasri and he gets it all wrong from 15 yards out
14
ARSHAVIN OFF THE POST - TWICE! Eboue crosses, Arshavin meets it and bundles an effort against the post. And his rebound does exactly the same before Albion hack it away
13
EBOUE ROLLS A SHOT WIDE: Nasri to Arshavin, Arshavin to Eboue, he spins and shoots but there's no power in that one. It's all a bit quiet here after Arsenal's underwhelming start
12
BACK COME ALBION: Scharner has two bites at a free-kick, hitting one effort into the wall and the second one wide. The visitors have plenty of ambition and confidence
11
KENNY SANSOM: 'I can't remember a 10-minute spell in which Arsenal have given the ball away so much'
10
SAGNA FIRES WIDE: Nasri's free-kick slams into the wall, the ball rolls to Sagna and he lashes a shot about four yards wide.
9
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Olsson goes in the book for that challenge on Eboue.
9
CHANCE FOR CLICHY! Great interception from Gael and he races through before shooting... it hits a defender... Arsenal keep the ball though and Nasri goes through but the ref calls play back for a free-kick. Foul on Eboue
8
SONG WINS A FREE-KICK: Forty yards from goal... Nasri takes it but it is easily cleared. Arshavin tries to recover possession but he can't find a team-mate
6
SLOPPY ARSENAL: Eboue gives the ball away yet again and the home side need to sort this out quickly. Complacent? Maybe
5
BRUNT LOOKING DANGEROUS: Albion come forward again - they have started well here - and Brunt's cross only just clears the head of Odemwingie
4
UNLUCKY NASRI: The Frenchman darts infield and tries to slip a pass through to Arshavin. A defender stretches to intercept
3
MISTAKE FROM EBOUE: Arsenal try to get going but Eboue's pass to Arshavin is overhit and behind the Russian.
2
TACTICS: Albion have lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation and the visitors get an early sniff of goal. Clichy hacks clear.
Kick Off HERE WE GO: Chamakh and Nasri get us underway at the Emirates. Come on you mighty reds
It's a good day for classic kits. Arsenal's 1970s-style shirt has gone down a storm and Albion's kit is a very authentic number too.
The home fans put their hands together for the team that put a great big smile on their faces in midweek. Almunia leads out the Gunners and unusually BOTH of today's captains are goalkeepers. Scott Carson wears the armband for Albion
Here comes the teams...
'The Wonder Of You' has just been given its regular airing and there's a chilly breeze blowing across the Emirates. The pitch looks in great nick, as does Kenny Sansom, positioned directly to my left. Login now if you're not already listening to his pearls of wisdom
Well, well, well. Chelsea have lost to a Carlos Tevez strike at Man City. If Arsenal win they will close the gap to just one point at the top of the table. The expectancy level just soared at Emirates Stadium
Into stoppage time at Eastlands: City still holding on as Chelsea push for an equaliser. Meanwhile our MatchDay Show is underway - login now for highlights of the midweek win at Spurs and much more before kick-off.
There's a familiar face in the Albion team: Jerome Thomas. His last visit ended in a red card in the Carling Cup last season.
This could turn into a very good weekend for Arsenal but Albion are no mugs. They beat Man City (albeit a weakened side) in midweek and have seven points from their first five Premier League games.
Going back to that team news, Wenger has made NINE changes from the XI which lined up at Spurs in midweek. Only Koscielny and Nasri keep their places while Diaby returns from injury
Big cheer in the press lounge here as Carlos Tevez fires Man City ahead against Chelsea. That will go down very well in the pubs around the Emirates
Arsenal team: Almunia, Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy, Song, Eboue, Diaby, Nasri, Arshavin, Chamakh. Subs: Rosicky, Vela, Denilson, Wilshere, Djourou, Fabianski, Emmanuel-Thomas
While we wait, a quick update from Eastlands where Man City and Chelsea are locked at 0-0 at half time. If it stays that way and Arsenal beat West Brom, the gap at the top of the table will be just two points tonight.
I'm Chris Harris and I'll be your text commentator for today. My first duty? To bring you the teams. They should be along very shortly.
The legend that is Kenny Sansom will be alongside Dan Roebuck for unashamedly Arsenal-centric commentary from 3pm (UK time). They'll be taking your e-mails during the game and fielding your calls in our post-match show. I'll give you those all-important numbers later. In the meantime get your comments to us via www.arsenal.com/studio
Welcome to Arsenal TV Online for another MatchDay Show. It gets underway at 2.30pm (UK time) with highlights of Tuesday's derby delight, the key moments from Arsene Wenger's pre-match press conference and all the breaking team news.
The sun is shining, we've just whacked Tottenham 4-1 and life is good. There's a spring in the step of 60,000 Gooners as they head to the Emirates and you've come to the right place if you want the best coverage of today's clash with West Brom.
