37'
Benitez's is no stranger to CL comebacks and he's going to need another miracle here. It's been as one-sided in this first half as it was in the 2005 final.
36'
Hope for the visitors? STAT: Napoli have scored in all nine of the Champions League games they have played.
35'
Mesto teases a low cross inot the box that Flamini can't quite clear. Insigne flashes onto the loose ball but fires a tame shot at goal that Szczesny gathers with ease.
34'
Reina punches the corner clear. It's been a busy night for the on-loan Liverpool man who has found shut-outs against Arsenal hard to come by over the years.
33'
Ozil wins another corner after Camilo Zuniga just about managed to halt his run down the right.
32'
The Italians clear their lines but Arsenal reclaim possession and come again.
31'
More super play by Ramsey who leaves his man for dead with a clever turn before instigating another Arsenal attack that leaves Napoli resorting to some hasty, miscued clearances. Corner ball.
30'
It's whipped into the mix and there's a bit of pinball inside the area before Raul Albiol concedes a needless free kick to give the Gunners some respite.
29'
Better spell for Napoli. Another free kick down their left, 35 yards out.
29'
Flamini getting a severe talking to by the referee for a lunging challenge on Callejon. He won the ball but appeared to jump into the tackle.
28'
STAT: Napoli have won only 1 of their 4 away games in the Champions League (1 draw, 2 defeats).
27'
Callejon whips the free kick over the wall and well over the bar too.
26'
Kieran Gibbs shoves Insigne to the floor. Free kick to Napoli 30 yards out.
25'
Sagna's cross is totally misjudged at the back post by Giandomenico Mesto, allowing Ramsey to cut in and crash a thumping shot at goal. It's just about blocked but it looked like the net was about to bulge once more for the Wales hot-shot.
24'
STAT: Napoli have conceded 15 goals in their 5 and a bit away games against English sides.
23'
Ramsey sets off on a powerhouse run but is just about crowded out as he was about to weave his way into the box.
22'
And here's that first chance! A corner is floated in from the right and Miguel Britos arrives late at the back post to head a looping attempt over the bar. He should have at least got that on target.
21'
We've had a response from Napoli since that second goal. The Italians are enjoying a bit of possession but still look well short of testing Szczesny.
20'
LATEST: Chelsea lead in Bucharest. Ramires on target.
19'
Lorenzo Insigne lines one up from distance... way over the top. At least Napoli hjave had a sight of goal now.
18'
In tonight's other Group F match it is still goalless between Borussia Dortmund and Marseille.
