Full Time ARSENAL ARE GOING TO WEMBLEY! My word it feels good to type that! Ipswich made it very tough but Bendtner, Koscielny and Fabregas finally found a way through at a jubilant Emirates Stadium
90
'QUE SERA SERA, WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE': Arsenal fans can make their plans for a first Cup Final in three years and a great chance to lift a trophy for the first time in five years
90
WICKHAM TRIES HIS LUCK: Good run from the teenager and he gets a shot away. It's blocked, Arsenal clear and we are seconds away from Wembley
90
SZCZESNY NEEDS TREATMENT: Meanwhile, some home fans parade a 'We're going to Wembley' banner. Nice
89
NORRIS TAKES IT... and Bendtner hacks it away. He got some proper distance on that. Norris goes through again and he catches Szczesy. That looked painful
88
MIX-UP! Szczesny comes for a cross but Djourou goes for it too. The Swiss gets there first and concedes a corner.
87
PITCH INVASION: A fan in a blue jumper has got onto the pitch and evades a couple of stewards before being bundled over. The away fans applaud. I don't think we'll see him here for a while
85
THE IPSWICH FANS SING UP: They've been tremendous tonight and their team has done them proud. But class will out and Arsenal deserve this.
84
Substitution SUB: Arshavin is replaced by Walcott
84
Substitution SUB: Off comes Van Persie and on comes Nasri
83
WALCOTT AND NASRI GETTING READY: And you don't want to see that if you're an Ipswich defender
82
NORRIS HEADS OVER: Ipswich try to fight back and a left-wing cross is nodded over the bar. Decent effort
80
ARSENAL IN COMPLETE CONTROL: The 'Oles' are ringing out as the home side keep the ball. I'm not a fan of that (the Ole, not the keep-ball) but there you go. It is surely game over now
80
THREE GOALS IN 16 MINUTES: And that has done for Ipswich. They have tired since the break, make no mistake. Hats off to them though, it took Arsenal 151 minutes to break them down in this tie
79
REMINDER: Stay online after the final whistle for our post-match show. Dan Roebuck and Stephen Hughes will be taking your calls as well as your e-mails so phone the studio on 020 7607 3200 (from inside the UK) or +44 20 7607 3200 (from outside the UK).
77
FANTASTIC COUNTER-ATTACK! Fabregas led the charge, he found Arshavin and the return pass is perfectly-weighted for the captain. He slips it under Fulop and jumps into the arms of sub Alex Song
77
GOAL! - Cesc Fabregas 3 : 0 FABREGAS WRAPS IT UP! ARSENAL 3 WIGAN 0
76
FABREGAS GOES ALONE: He comes in off the left flank and drifts past two men before firing past the near post
75
WILSHERE TRIES TO PICK OUT ARSHAVIN: Another wonderful, curved pass but that's just too far ahead of the Russian. Wilshere has been so creative tonight
74
Substitution SUB FOR IPSWICH: Healy is replaced by O'Connor
74
CLICHY WITH THE CROSS... and Van Persie with the header! He meets it well but Robin nods wide
73
BLACKPOOL 2-3 MAN UTD: Berbatov scores late on to turn that game around. More importantly, Arsenal have turned this tie around
73
REMINDER: Stay online after the final whistle for our post-match show. Dan Roebuck and Stephen Hughes will be taking your calls as well as your e-mails so phone the studio on 020 7607 3200 (from inside the UK) or +44 20 7607 3200 (from outside the UK).
72
FABREGAS IS ANGRY: The ref has given a free-kick to Ipswich and the skipper can't believe that decision. Delaney bumps into him too and that won't help his mood
71
THE GUNNERS PLAY KEEP-BALL: They try and take the sting out of the game. Van Persie flicks it through for Arshavin but the danger passes
70
ARSENAL SUBS STILL WARMING UP: And this tie is not won yet.
68
WILSHERE IS OK... but here come Ipswich. Scotland shoots and Szczesny is down well to save
67
WILSHERE IS DOWN: I reckon he's winded, he jumped with Edwards and landed badly. Good news though, he's sitting up now
67
KOSCIELNY FINDS ROW Z: Anywhere will do at the moment as Ipswich look for an instant riposte
66
TIME TO CONCENTRATE: Ipswich have a corner... but Wickham can't get his shot away and Arsenal can clear
65
WHAT A TURNAROUND: I don't know about you but I was screaming (inside, of course) for Nasri and Walcott about three minutes ago. Not any more.
64
A RARE BUT PRICELESS GOAL FROM THE CENTRE BACK! He celebrates in style and Ipswich will look to Fulop, who came but got nowhere near that
64
GOAL! - Laurent Koscielny 2 : 0 AND KOSCIELNY HEADS IT HOME! ARSENAL 2 IPSWICH 0
64
CORNER TO ARSENAL: Arshavin takes it...
63
Substitution SUB FOR IPSWICH: Priskin is replaced by Jason Scotland
62
SUDDENLY THE EMIRATES IS ROCKING! The home fans are up, scarves aloft, arms aloft, the songs ring out. It's all-square on aggregate
61
WONDERFUL STRIKE! Wilshere's big diagonal reaches the Dane, he brings it down brilliantly, cuts inside and bends a perfect shot inside the far post
61
GOAL! - Nicklas Bendtner 1 : 0 GOAL! BENDTNER HAS DONE IT! ARSENAL 1 IPSWICH 0
60
COME ON ARSENAL! Half-an-hour to go, but clear-cut chances are few and far between. Surely time for Nasri and Walcott?
59
MAN UNITED EQUALISE: Dear oh dear.
58
ARSHAVIN FINDS WILSHERE... he skips down the left and crosses but that's heaved away for a corner. Yet again nothing comes of it
58
MAN UNITED HAVE SCORED: It's 2-1 to Blackpool now.
57
IPSWICH WORKING SO HARD: Will they tire? Arsenal have yet another corner and Fulop climbs to claim it. He has done that so often tonight
55
VAN PERSIE TAKES IT... short to Arshavin, back to Van Persie, cleared away. Another corner. Come on! This one is wasted though. And the clock ticks on
54
IT'S ALL ARSENAL NOW: Can they find a way through though? More guile, more pace needed. They do have a corner, won by Eboue
53
REMINDER: Stay online after the final whistle for our post-match show. Dan Roebuck and Stephen Hughes will be taking your calls as well as your e-mails so phone the studio on 020 7607 3200 (from inside the UK) or +44 20 7607 3200 (from outside the UK).
52
GOOD PLAY ON THE LEFT: Clichy to Cesc to Arshavin and another challenge comes in. But Arsenal have a corner. That is cleared though
52
STEPHEN HUGHES: 'They need wave after wave of attack and I'm sure the opportunities will come'. Have your say at www.arsenal.com/studio
51
TOO INTRICATE AGAIN! Cesc and Van Persie try to link up but they are crowded out once more.
50
WELL PLAYED EDWARDS: His recovery pace is excellent and another promising attack is snuffed out. The groans are getting louder here at the Emirates
49
FABREGAS HOLDS HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS: Van Persie tried to play him in and he looked for Arshavin but it didn't work at all
48
NASRI STILL WARMING UP: But Ipswich still on the attack and Koscielny just about clears another cross into the box from Priskin
47
HERE IT COMES... and it flashes across goal, the shot from O'Dea. Nervous moments for Arsenal
46
POOR TOUCH WILSHERE: And he tries to make up for it but fouls an Ipswich player. Free-kick to the visitors and it flicks off Bendtner for a corner...
Kick Off ARSENAL GET US UNDERWAY: The Gunners are attacking the North Bank
45
HERE COME THE TEAMS: Hold on to your hats folks. It's do or die in the Carling Cup. Wembley or bust.
45
LOOK WHO'S WARMING UP: As our live pictures show, Walcott and Nasri are limbering up on the pitch. Looks like we'll see them pretty soon.
45
SPECIAL FEATURE: Keep listening for a special half-time audio clip. I'll be back in a moment with probably the most vital 45 minutes of Arsenal's season so far
45
SUMMARY: Ipswich are defending very well but Arsenal need to do more. As Stephen says they have to move the ball quicker. Walcott and Nasri cannot be far away.
45
STEPHEN HUGHES: 'I wouldn't be surprised to see changes early in the second half. There's a place at Wembley at stake'. Have your say at www.arsenal.com/studio
Half Time AND THAT IS HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 0 IPSWICH 0
45
FREE-KICK TO ARSENAL: Fabregas takes it... but it flies out of play and there's no time for the corner
45
STEPHEN HUGHES: 'They are not moving the ball well enough for me'. Have your say at www.arsenal.com/studio
45
WE'RE INTO STOPPAGE TIME: Just seconds left in the first half and Arsenal still cannot find a way through
45
DJOUROU IS DOWN: He clashed with Priskin there and both men need attention. Fortunately the Swiss defender is sitting up
45
WILSHERE DOES WELL... he plays it through to Van Persie but the Dutchman lets the ball run and that's enough for a block to come in
44
PINBALL! Bendtner beats Fulop, it's hooked away, Bendtner finds Van Persie, Fulop blocks, Bendtner again, Delaney clears. Dear me, it just won't go in
44
POOR FROM ARSHAVIN: He misplaces his pass to Fabregas and a groan goes up around the Emirates
43
BRILLIANT FROM DJOUROU: He has been outstanding again. So strong, so quick, good anticipation.
42
HERE IT COMES... Koscielny jumps but Fulop jumps higher and claims well
42
VAN PERSIE WINS A CORNER: Arshavin trots over to take it...
41
ARSENAL PROBING: But Ipswich closing them down well in midfield. Arshavin tries to pick out Van Persie but Delaney clears this time. Excellent defending
39
HERE COME ARSENAL: Wilshere to Arshavin to Fabregas, Edwards does well though and Ipswich survive again. Then Bendtner skews a cross out of play
38
END-TO-END STUFF: Priskin is stopped by Koscielny, Arsenal break and Arshavin can't quite find Clichy. It's breathless at times
37
TENACITY FROM WILSHERE: He bursts past two players and chases down a third. No lack of effort from Arsenal, they just need a finishing touch
35
'SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT': The away fans barrack Cesc with a rugby-related chant. Don't be surprised if he has the last laught
35
WONDERFUL PASS FROM WILSHERE: Superb from Jack but Cesc shoots inches wide. Best chance of the match
35
ARSHAVIN INTO THE BOX: He tries to square it but it goes out for a corner. Taken quickly... and Fabregas shoots just wide! Ooooh, that was close
34
GOOD BALL IN FROM NORRIS... but there's some pushing and shoving and Arsenal get a free-kick.
33
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Koscielny goes in the book. He caught Norris there. Poor challenge
31
BLACKPOOL GO TWO UP! Man United in trouble at Bloomfield Road. Blimey. Anyway, back to business here... Arsenal have another corner but it comes to nothing - again
30
THE FLAG GOES UP... as Van Persie goes through to meet Fabregas' pass. Brave goalkeeping anyway as Fulop threw himself at the ball
29
WE JUST NEED A LUCKY BOUNCE: Holes are starting to appear in the Ipswich defence. I think we can still be confident, folks
28
FREE-KICK TO ARSENAL: Fabregas will take this one about 50 yards from goal... Fulop drops it but Bendtner's shot is blocked! Arshavin returns it but Fulop claims
27
WELL DONE EBOUE: He shrugs off two challenges to keep Arsenal moving. But once again that final ball isn't there and Ipswich snuff out another attack
25
DELANEY HEADS CLEAR: The Ipswich centre back is winning so much in the air. The visitors break but Djourou snuffs that one out. He is playing well too.
25
Yellow Card YELLOW CARD: Wickham goes into the book for a late challenge on Djourou
24
VAN PERSIE OFF THE CROSSBAR! Good cross from Bendtner, quality header but the woodwork saves Ipswich. Then Fabregas slips when well-placed inside the box!
23
IN COMES THE CORNER... but it beats everyone after Bendtner's flick-on. More frustration for the home fans.
22
LOVELY TOUCH FROM ARSHAVIN: He kills a lofted 40-yard pass stone dead, and wins a corner off Edwards
21
ARSENAL GET A FREE-KICK: Foul on Wilshere. It's all a bit stop-start, exactly as Ipswich would want. The guile of Nasri has been missed so far.
20
DENILSON CRUNCHES INTO PRISKIN: Free-kick to Ipswich but it bounces harmlessly out of play
19
GREAT CHANCE FABREGAS! Bendtner slips it into the box for Fabregas after a lucky bounce off a defender but Cesc can't beat Fulop.
18
Substitution SUB FOR ARSENAL: A groggy Sagna goes off, a sprightly Eboue jogs on
18
VAN PERSIE ALMOST GETS THROUGH: Good build-up involving Arshavin but Ipswich clear
17
ARSENAL MAKING NO INROADS: Bendtner can't get the ball as far forward as he'd like, Van Persie is well-marshalled and Ipswich are working extremely hard. This will be tough
16
EBOUE PUTS HIS TRACKSUIT BACK ON: Looks like they are giving Sagna a bit more time to clear his head. That was a nasty clash with the keeper
15
SAGNA IS IN A BAD WAY: It looks like he's coming off. Eboue is stripped and ready.
14
SZCZESNY AND SAGNA BOTH DOWN: They need treatment after a clash of heads. James Shea is warming up. Just seeing that Cesc penalty shout again and no way was it a spot-kick in my opinion
13
FREE-KICK TO IPSWICH: Here it comes but that goes over. McAuley got his head to it
13
STEPHEN HUGHES: 'It's very important for the players and fans to be patient. The fans cannot get on the players' backs'. Have your say at www.arsenal.com/studio
12
MAN UNITED LOSING! Blackpool lead in tonight's big Premier League game. That's a pleasant surprise
11
DJOUROU ON THE MOVE... he goes past one and tries to find Fabregas but the ball runs through to keeper Marton Fulop
10
CESC GOES DOWN IN THE BOX! Shouts for a penalty, Mark Halsey waves play on and the away fans and players are angry about that. Throw to Arsenal
10
IPSWICH HOLDING FIRM: Arsenal struggling to make an impression so far. Van Persie easily their most dangerous player in the early stages
9
DENILSON DOWN THE LINE: Van Persie latches onto it and gets a cross over but it's blocked
7
CESC TRIES TO THREAD A PASS THROUGH... but that is well overhit. Good banter between the home and away fans. 'Who are you?' ask the Arsenal supporters
6
LEADBITTER TAKES IT... and Van Persie heads away powerfully
6
'ONE-NIL TO THE RUGBY TEAM!' sing the Ipswich fans in reference to Cesc Fabregas' comments after the first leg. Cheeky. Meanwhile, their team have a corner
5
VAN PERSIE! Sagna crosses and the Dutchman hits it first time - but wide. Good pressure from Arsenal, Wilshere also had a sight of goal in that passage of play
4
VAN PERSIE CURLS IT IN... and Djourou can't quite reach that. The Ipswich fans roar. They are going to enjoy this, whatever happens.
3
FOUL ON WILSHERE: Jack was checked there and Arsenal can have a look at this 45 yards from goal
2
TACTICS: As expected it's Bendtner on the right, Arshavin on the left and Van Persie through the middle. Van Persie is dropping very deep to collect possession
1
BENDTNER TRIES TO NIP IN: Ball into the box just eludes the big Dane. Excellent atmosphere, the Arsenal fans are well up for this
1
LEADBITTER GOES FOR GOAL STRAIGHT FROM THE KICK-OFF! And he wasn't far away. Szczesny had it covered though
Kick Off AND OFF WE GO! Ipswich get the game underway, defending the Clock End and a precious one-goal lead
The away fans release balloons to welcome their team. 'A Time For Heroes' banner is also on display in the Ipswich end. They travel in expectation as well as hope but Arsenal surely have the quality to see them off.

Szczesny stands in the tunnel, staring straight ahead. Focused. Cesc stretches, the final few fans stream in. Flags wave, scarves twirl, my ice cream melts... and here they come...
Crackling atmosphere at Emirates Stadium. There's talk that Ipswich will 'park the tractor' and Arsenal will need patience and poise to break them down.
The scene is set folks. Arsenal fans to the left of me, Ipswich to the right. The players are in the tunnel and a place at Wembley is up for grabs
Feeling better now? I am. No messing about from the boss there and I bet the likes of Fabregas and Van Persie were banging on his door asking to play tonight.
Here's the subs: Shea, Nasri, Walcott, Song, Eboue, Gibbs, Chamakh
Stop the press, here's that Arsenal team. And it's strong: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Denilson, Wilshere, Fabregas, Arshavin, Bendtner, Van Persie
That 1-0 defeat in the first leg was, by common consensus, Arsenal's worst display of the season. They won't play like that tonight though, will they? Will they?!
Have you ever driven to Wembley? It's a simple enough journey until you get near the place and then there's traffic as far as the eye can see. Arsenal's road to Wembley has followed the same pattern: cruise control against Spurs, Newcastle and Wigan before a road block in the shape of Ipswich. Arsene Wenger's team will need some nifty driving, and plenty of patience, to secure their parking space at the famous old stadium.
But the star of the show, as ever, is you. Make sure you have your say on tonight's proceedings - and all things Arsenal - via the website at www.arsenal.com/studio. You can speak to Dan and Stephen during our post-match show by calling the studio so look out for the phone number later on.
Former Gunner Stephen Hughes joins Dan Roebuck behind the mic tonight, Richard Clarke will bring you a comprehensive match report and Chris Harris (that's me) is on text commentary duty.
Our live coverage gets underway at 7.15pm (UK time) and we'll be limbering up with highlights of Saturday's win over Wigan, the best of Arsene Wenger's pre-match interview and plenty of banter from our commentary team.
Welcome to another MatchDay Show on Arsenal TV Online. But this isn't just any old MatchDay Show - at the end of it, Arsenal could (and perhaps should) have booked their place in the Carling Cup Final.
