Hello and welcome to our LIVE minute-by-minute coverage of the Premier League clash between Arsenal and Crystal Palace.

The siege of the Palace goal ends with a foul by Gabriel on Dann. It was actually Dann that kicked Gabriel and the referee probably got that one wrong.

Sanchez takes and it deflects just wide for a corner. Ward does enough but it's another corner for Arsenal.

Welbeck goes to ground after a foul from Dann and this is another very encouraging position for Sanchez…

Palace force a corner. In it comes but the whistle goes for a foul in the box.

Space for Sanchez but he doesn’t make the most of it and his ball into the box is cleared by Souare for a corner. Ozil whips it in and Koscielny heads wide.

Better around the box from Arsenal. Nice interplay between Ozil and Sanchez but again the final ball is wanting and Delaney hacks clear. Still we await the opening goal. It's coming surely...

The man to unlock Palace? Mesut Ozil has assisted just twice in his last 12 Premier League games, this after providing 16 assists in his first 18 games of the season.

If it’s still 0-0 at half time, the mood around The Emirates could take a turn for the worse…

Palace knocking a lot of long ball but it’s got to be more accurate. They must at least give themselves a chance of creating something in the opposing half.

Arsenal win a third corner. In it comes from Elneny, cleared off Jedinak’s shoulder! Effective enough…

Bizarrely, a shock Palace opener against the run of play might jolt Arsenal into action. Bolasie’s shot on goal is saved by Cech.

STAT: Giroud has now gone 11 Premier League games without scoring, his longest drought without a goal in the competition (606 minutes in total). But he has scored in three of his four Premier League starts against the Eagles.

If Palace are content to let Arsenal have so much of the ball, it’s hardly a decent Wembley rehearsal, is it?

Decent ball from Coquelin finds Sanchez in on goal but the flag is up. Half a yard offside but close.

Poor ball from Jedinak. Bolasie is quick, but not that quick! It’s out for an Arsenal throw and the siege begins again.

Lovely turn from Sanchez. He gets away from Jedinak but his final ball is very poor and out for a Palace goal kick.

Ozil dinks it in but Delaney clears fairly comfortably. Elneny shot deflected well over the bar.
