• 90

  GOAL! - Dirk Kuyt 1 : 1 It's in. 1-1. Heartbreaking

• 90

  KUYT HAS IT…

• 90

  PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL: The free kick gets blocked and then Eboue brings down Lucas

• 90

  SUAREZ LINING IT UP…

• 90

  Yellow Card And so is Lucas

• 90

  Yellow Card Eboue booked, for saying something to the ref

• 90

  Yellow Card FREE KICK LIVERPOOL: Right on the edge of the area. Shelvey fouled by Song. What drama, this is RIGHT on the edge of the area. By the way, RVP was booked for that celebration.

• 90

  GOAL! - Robin van Persie 1 : 0 And slots the ball into the bottom-left corner! As calm as you like! 1-0 TO THE ARSENAL

• 90

  VAN PERSIE STEPS UP….

• 90

  PENALTY TO ARSENAL: Fabregas goes down under challenge from Spearing and the ref points to the spot!

• 90

  ARSHAVIN CROSSES: But no-one in a red shirt can get on the end of it. The ball comes back across to the Russian and he wins a corner, which Reina claims

• 90

  VAN PERSIE GOES DOWN: But the referee doesn’t want to know. I think he just slipped over while going for Bendtner’s cross

• 90

  THIS IS ALL VERY FRUSTRATING: Reina takes an age over a goal kick. Liverpool are content, it seems, with a point.

• 89

  SONG GOES CLOSE: From a corner. And there will be 8 minutes of added time. EIGHT MINUTES

• 88

  STUBBORN DEFENCE: Fabregas has shot blocked and Arsenal just can’t find a way through

• 87

  ARSEANL PRESSING: But, at the moment, Liverpool are defending well.

• 86

• 85

  SUAREZ LASHES WIDE: From a tight angle when he might have done better. A bit of a let off there

• 84

  REINA SAVES LIVERPOOL: Twice in the space of a minute the away side have their keeper to thank. Van Persie’s quick turn forces Reina to palm away and then he saves Bendtner’s volley from the rebound.

• 83

• 82

  VAN PERSIE GOES CLOSE AGAIN: He forces Reina into a save from Clichy’s cross.

• 81

  END TO END: Meireles dallies at one end and Bendtner nicks in. He feeds Fabregas who tries to find Van Persie before Skrtel clears.

• 80

  Substitution FINAL ARSENAL CHANGE: Song on for Diaby

• 79

  NOW ARSEANL ATTACKING: Arshavin crosses dangerously from the left, Eboue delivers from the right. Both are cleared

• 78

  LIVERPOOL GROWING: They have enjoyed the better of the last five minutes with a number of attacks on the Arsenal penalty area.

• 77

  GREAT SAVE SZCZESNY: Suarez forces the Pole into a super stop low to his right.

• 76

  Yellow Card SHELVEY INTO THE BOOK: He goes through Koscielny as the defender shields the ball out of play. Silly boy

• 75

  TACTICS: Bendtner goes onto the right, Arshavin onto the left. Nasri into the ‘Cesc’ role and Fabregas back in place of Wilshere

• 74

  Substitution And Arshavin is on for Walcott.

• 74

  Substitution HERE COME THOSE ARSENAL CHANGES: Wilshere is replaced by Bendtner.

• 73

  VAN PERSIE INTO THE SIDENETTING: At the post, half the ground thought it was in.

• 72

  CHANCE FOR VAN PERSIE: Fabregas sets the Dutchman on his way down the middle. Reina saves, Arsenal corner.

• 71

  Substitution LIVERPOOL CHANGE: Shelvey on for Carroll. Djourou and Koscielny have dealt with him expertly this afternoon.

• 70

  CHANGES IMMINENT: Bendtner and Arshavin have both been summoned by Pat Rice.

• 69

• 67

  SZCZESNY SAVES SMARLTY: Carroll flicks the ball onto Suarez, who cuts onto his right foot before bending one towards the far corner. The Pole gets his body behind it and saves well.

• 66

  REINA PUNCHES: Van Persie keeps it alive but, with little support, can’t beat Spearing and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

• 65

  ARSENAL CORNER: Clichy’s cross hits Skrtel and goes behind.

• 64

  FABREGAS SEEKS OUT WALCOTT: As the England man scampers down the middle. But it’s over-hit and Reina gathers the loose ball

• 63

  BETTER FROM ARSENAL: Van Persie and Nasri link up and the latter feeds Walcott on the right of the area. First time, he sends a cross into the six-yard box but Reina claims.

• 62

  And, finally, play gets underway.

• 61

  Substitution KYRGIAKOS ON: As Carragher leaves the field on a stretcher

• 60

  KYRGIAKOS READY TO COME ON: Carragher has now got a neck brace and an oxygen mask on. Play has been stopped for well over five minutes. It was a clash of heads with Flanagan as the pair both challenged the same ball.

• 59

  HE LOOKS IN TROUBLE: The Liverpool skipper is still receiving treatment and has been now for a good three minutes.

• 56

  CARRAGHER DOWN: He seems to have taken a knock to the head from Flanagan. That could be a sore one.

• 55

  MEIRLES HAS A GO: From range, and that isn’t testing Szczesny.

• 54

  QUIET START: To the second half. No real chances for either side.

• 53

  NOW HE LOOKS OK: He has run that off pretty quickly and is back in the action.

• 51

  CARROLL WALKING OFF: Gingerly, to receive a bit of treatment. He looks in a fair bit of pain.

• 50

  CARROLL DOWN IN A HEAP: He seems to have rolled his ankle and his afternoon looks to be over.

• 49

  SUAREZ GOES CLOSE: Very close. He runs at Djourou and Koscielny before shooting inches wide of the left post with his left foot. Szczesny may have had that covered but a decent effort.

• 48

  VAN PERSIE CAN’T QUITE GET IT UNDER CONTROL: Neat interchange from Fabregas, Nasri and Wilshere nearly presents the Dutchman with an opening inside the area.

• 47

  ARSENAL START ON THE FRONT FOOT: The men in red keep the ball in the Liverpool half and Walcott wins a corner off Robinson.

• 47

  TACTICS: It's as you were for Arsenal.

• Kick Off Diaby and Van Persie get us back underway: Arsenal kicking from right to left in the second half.

• 45

  The Arsenal players are back out for the second half. It doesn’t look like any changes for Wenger’s side.

• Half Time HALF TIME: 0-0 at the break. Liverpool have, so far, frustrated Arsenal in the north London sunshine.

• 45

  ARSENAL BREAK: Szczesny punches and Fabregas knocks the ball over for Walcott to run into the space on the right. Robinson defends well but Eboue keeps it alive and flashes an effort just wide of the far post.

• 45

  LIVERPOOL FREE KICK: Koscielny on Suarez, in a good crossing position on the right. Meireles is over it..

• 44

  ROBINSON HEADS AWAY: As we tick into the final minute of the first half.

• 42

  ARSENAL ENDING THE HALF STRONGLY: Walcott wins another corner on the right

• 41

  DJOUROU DEFENDS WELL: Not once, but twice to deal with the threat of Carroll.

• 40

  WALCOTT LOOKING DANGEROUS: He attacks Robinson, who has played well since coming on, and wins a corner off the teenager.

• 39

  ARSENAL PRESSING: Eboue crosses twice from the right and, with the second one, picks out Fabregas 10 yards out. I don’t think he expected that to get through to him, his control is poor and the ball goes harmlessly through to Reina.

• 38

  REINA LUCKY: He confidently shields the ball behind with Van Persie in close attendance. The Arsenal man gets something on it but can’t quite keep it alive. The keeper breaths a huge sigh of relief there!

• 37

  WALCOTT SNATCHES AT IT: He has a go from the edge of the area, but that one goes horribly wide.

• 36

  It goes straight out of play: With Djourou, Koscielny and a few others all waiting. A bit of a waste that.

• 35

  Yellow Card SKRTEL IN THE BOOK: For hacking down Eboue, free kick Arsenal down by the corner flag on the right. Van Persie over it…

• 34

  What have you made of it so far? Get your comments to us via www.arsenal.com/studio.

• 32

  REINA CLAIMS: Ahead of Koscielny.

• 31

  THEO DOES WELL: He beats Robinson for pace and delivers into a dangerous position. Carragher is in the right place to clear for a corner.

• 30

  A BIT OF CALM: As Nasri receives treatment. Arsenal are on top but can’t find a way through.

• 29

  Yellow Card FIRST BOOKING: Flanagan goes right through the back of Nasri and is rightly booked.

• 27

  FABREGAS DRILLS WIDE: A stray pass from Suarez presents the ball to Cesc, who plays a one-two with Van Persie before shooting wide with his left foot.

• 25

  VAN PERSIE PUTS THE BALL IN THE NET: It won't count but what a finish! Fabregas seeks out the Dutchman with a wonderful ball over the top and, first time, he volleys past Reina. The flag, in fairness, went up early and correctly.

• 23

  REINA SHARP AGAIN: Cesc gets to the byline before hooking a bal back across. His countryman gobbles that one up through.

• 22

  SZCZESNY CLAIMS WELL: Suarez hits a deep cross to the back post and the goalkeeper gets there ahead of Carroll, who has been quiet so far.

• 20

  Substitution Here comes the 17-year-old at left back. Who will have the task of marking Theo Walcott.

• 19

  AURELIO IN TROUBLE: He is coming off, looks like a muscle injury. Youngster Jack Robinson is being readied.

• 18

  NASRI: Has drifted across into the centre and over to the right at times. He seems to have been give a license to roam here. This time, he pops up on the left and delivers a teasing cross than Reina deals with really well.

• 17

  IT’S ALL ARSENAL: Eboue wins a free kick down the right, which is headed away. Then Walcott beats his man before crossing into the box. Liverpool need a break here, but Arsenal aren’t giving them one.

• 16

  KOSCIELNY CRASHES THE BAR: Van Persie delivers and the defender thunders the crossbar with Reina beaten. Walcott keeps it alive and his goalward effort seems to hit a Liverpool hand. But the referee doesn’t want to know. What a couple of minutes for Arsenal!

• 15

  CESC WINS A CORNER: On the right, off Lucas

• 14

  ARSENAL FANS IN FULL VOICE: The home crowd are really getting behind the boys today. Fabregas has a shot from range blocked.

• 13

• 12

  WALCOTT STINGS REINA’S PALMS: With a vicious drive from outside the area. That one was too hot for the Spaniard to handle and he can only steer the ball back into the danger zone. That was dipping and swerving, a horribly one for the keeper.

• 11

  MEIRELES DELIVERS: To the back post and Carroll is there again. But there is no power behind his effort and the header goes wide.

• 10

  DJOUROU DOES REALLY WELL: Suarez attacks the box and the defender times his challenge perfectly to put the ball behind. Another Liverpool corner

• 9

  LIVERPOOL CORNER: Suarez feeds Lucas inside the area and his centre is diverted behind. The cross comes in, Carroll gets on the end of it but can’t get any power on his header and it goes over.

• 8

  The away side have started well so far, but that Diaby chance is closest either side have come.

• 7

  FRENETIC PACE: End-to-end here. Carragher heads away a cross and then Liverpool are on the attack straight away.

• 6

  FIRST SAVE FOR SZCZESNY: Suarez hits a tame free kick towards the bottom-left corner and the keeper saves comfortably.

• 5

  ANDY CARROLL: The £35 million man is making a nuisance of himself. But Djourou defends a cross into the box well and Eboue clears the danger.

• 4

  FIRST CHANCE: And what a chance. Nasri delivers a free kick from the left and Diaby rises above Carroll before glancing a header inches wide. Reina was beaten all ends up there.

• 3

  EVEN STEVENS: Aurelio does well to stop Walcott on the right and Liverpool win a throw in down the other end.

• 2

  PERFECT CONDITIONS: The sun is shining, the pitch is in immaculate condition. This should be a cracker.

• 2

  DJOUROU WINS AN EARLY HEADER: The Swiss defender out-jumps Suarez to win a long ball.

• Kick Off WE’RE OFF: Liverpool get us underway with Arsenal kicking from left to right in this first half

• The silence is ended by referee Mariner and both sets of fans break into song.

• There will be a period of silence before kick-off in respect of Danny Fiszman and the Hillsborough disaster.

• HERE THEY COME: Emirates is a cauldron of noise. I think everyone knows the importance of this afternoon.

• The teams are in the tunnel, Fabregas and Carragher leading their men into battle.

• This really is a huge week for Arsenal - and it starts here.

• Ten minutes until kick-off and the Wonder of You rings around Emirates Stadium. One to get everyone in the mood for watching the Arsenal. A win today, three points at Tottenham on Wednesday and we will be just one points behind Man United.

• Jack Wilshere has just been presented with the Arsenal.com EA SPORTS Player of the Month award as the two sets of players make their way back into the dressing room.

• Emirates is slowly filling up as Wojciech and Jens warm each other up in front of the North Bank. Alex Song is among the substitutes kicking a ball around on the edge of the penalty area, another one returning to the squad today.

• Having Djourou and Szczesny back out there is a great sight for all Gooners. Especially with the threat Andy Carroll poses. As if we need reminding, he scored the winner here for Newcastle earlier in the season.

• The Arsenal players are all in white as they get put through their paces away to my left.

• I’ve made my way up to the press box and Emirates Stadium is bathed in north London sunshine. Short sleeves is most definitely order of the day as the two teams warm up in front of me.

• And the subs today are: Lehmann, Song, Squillaci, Arshavin, Gibbs, Chamakh, Bendtner

• The Arsenal team is in, and here it is: Szczesny, Eboue, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Diaby, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, Van Persie

• My first job will be to bring you the team news. I will give you the Arsenal side as soon as I have it.

• Former Gunner Stephen Hughes will be alongside commentator Dan Roebuck and 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 3.30pm (UK time) with the best bits from Wenger’s pre-match press conference, an exclusive interview with the boss plus all the breaking team news. By the way, I'm Giuseppe Muro and I'll be your text commentator today.

• Seven games left, one game in hand and seven points behind Manchester United who still have to visit Emirates Stadium. This Premier League title race is just getting started, I fancy.
