No penalty! David Luiz is pressed by Kante as Arsenal surrender possession in a dangerous area. Abraham switches it to Willian who forces a corner. Abraham is pleading for a penalty and replays show he had a coming together off the bal with Guendouzi inside the box, but Craig Pawson isn't interested.
34'
Yellow card! A third yellow card in four minutes for Chelsea as Rudiger is late on Torreira.

Chelsea sub: Emerson is hooked after just 34 minutes with Jorginho his replacement. Chelsea have been well and truly awful so far and Lampard is accepting that he has got his tactics wrong with this change.

Yellow card! Mount is late in his tackle on Maitland-Niles and subsequently appears to stamp on his foot. He deservedly goes into the referee's book.

Chelsea will be hoping the lengthy stoppage as a result of the injury to Chambers will halt Arsenal's momentum and work in the visitors' favour. The Blues appear to have stepped up their pressure, at least.
26'
Another injury blow for Arsenal...
25'
Arteta will be absolutely thrilled with how Arsenal have played so far. With one-touch passing and the movement of the forward players, it's much more like the Gunners of old.
23'
Arsenal sub: Chambers is able to walk off the pitch to be replaced by Shkodran Mustafi, so hopefully it's not as bad as first feared.

Injury! Chambers is down and will have to leave the pitch on a stretcher. This doesn't look good.

Chance! Another brilliant move from Arsenal - they have confidence rushing through their veins. Nelson races down the right, sweeps a cross to Aubameyang at the far post, his cushioned pass sets up Lacazette but the Frenchman wants too much time which allows Kante to make a crucial intervention.
17'
No penalty! Lacazette drives into the Chelsea penalty area and then appears to have his heels clipped. The referee Craig Pawson has the whistle in his mouth but opts to wave play on.
16'
That was Aubameyang's 13th goal of the season.
15'
Arsenal are playing really aggressively, they sense blood.
14'
It's a disaster from a Chelsea perspective. Emerson lost Aubameyang - he was caught sleeping. The Blues haven't earned a single point from a losing position this season.
13'
GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea (Aubameyang): Arteta has his first home goal as manager! Ozil swings in a corner to the near post, Chambers flicks it on and Aubameyang wriggles free at the far post to power a header past Kepa.

Save! Willian takes it quickly, playing it short to Mount whose shot is spilled by Leno but gathered on the second attempt.

Yellow card! Guendouzi bundles Willian over just as the Chelsea flanker was about to burst into the Arsenal penalty area, earning himself a yellow card and conceding a free-kick in a dangerous area.
