xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
It was all too easy for the Gunners, they barely had to break sweat and advance courtesy of Thierry Henry's brace. Bring on Friday.
And that's full-time
One minute to be added on
Henry finds Vieira 25 yards out, he shapes for the shot, but it's a disguise to feed it through for Kanu - only the Nigerian is shying away from the shot and the ball runs through to Caceres
Velasco plays a neat ball over the top for Pinilla, he's unmarked and has a great chance for a consolation - but nods it inches wide of the post
Reyes brings down Vagner, free-kick in the centre circle
Lauren finds Kanu in the box, he gets it stuck under his feet a little and then drops t the floor rather easily under Valasco's challenge - never a penalty

ESPN has no formation for this match, so here are the line-ups as a list.
xG, big chances, touches and duels are ESPN's numbers; other sites' models can differ a little.
It was all too easy for the Gunners, they barely had to break sweat and advance courtesy of Thierry Henry's brace. Bring on Friday.
Arsenal now seem to be happy to play through to full time against the ten-men of Celta Vigo
Free-kick to Celta on the right, Jesuli takes only for Campbell to head to safety
It runs through to Kanu, who in turn finds Gilberto. The Brazilian sees the run of Ljungberg, picks him out - but the Swede heads wide when in an unmarked position
This time it's Henry, and Cavallero has to punch clear from under his own crossbar
Corner to Arsenal on the right. Reyes goes over to take and aims for back stick - Caceres heads behind for another corner
Mostovoi tries to chase a long ball - Toure intelligently guides it behind for a goal-kick
Cole's down injured, after being blocked off by Mostovoi, but Gary Lewin is on again. He'll be okay
A final change for the Gunners as Nwankwo Kanu is introduced for Dennis Bergkamp
Sergio took a crack on the back of the head in that move - Cavallero laying one on him! He needs some treatment
Corner to Arsenal on the right. Reyes takes, Cavallero punches and Jesuli hacks to safety
Reyes is cynically blocked by Contreras - he's already been booked and referee Collina has no option but to produce the red card. An early bath for the substitute
It only comes as far as Ljungberg 35 yards out, and he tries the first time lob over the top - but gets it all wrong. Goal-kick
Gilberto puts Henry through the centre, it looks as though he's going to have the chance for a third but Cavallero is out of his box smartly to clear
A final change for Celta, as Rogerio Vagner is on for Gustavo Lopez
Henry takes the corner, Gilberto wins the header but is penalised for a shove
Arsenal make a change before the corner. Edu is replaced by Gilberto Silva, and Jose Antonio Reyes is introduced for Robert Pires
Henry bursts foward and forces Sergio to put it behind for a corner
...but Lopez gets it all wrong and blasts way, way wide
The free-kick is central, just outside the D. Mostovoi plays it short for Lopez...
Edu gives it away to Pinilla on the edge of the box, he twists inside looking for space for the shot and is brought down by the Brazilian
Lauren is tripped by Pinilla, free-kick
Bergkmap needs a bit of treatment, but he'll be okay to return to the fray
Bergkmap got Cavallero's studs right in the throat there - it's an awful challenge and it should have been a penalty but, for once, Mr Collina missed something
It's flicked through to Bergkamp, he tries to lob it over the top of Cavallero - but it drops wide of the post
Henry shows great skill to hold off two challenges and keep hold of the ball
The 'Oles' ring around Highbury as Arsenal pass it around - finally some atmosphere
It puts Arsenal on the break, they come forward in that now familiar pacy manner. Edu gets it on the left and has Ljunbgerg and Pires in the centre - but it's a poor cross and out for a goal-kick
Lopez takes the corner from the right, it's poor and Bergkamp coolly clears
Mostovoi delivers from the right, Caceres gets up at the back stick and produces a good header only to see Lehmann palm it behind
..but that first touch is too strong, and by the time Pires can shoot Cavallero has made up ground to make the block
Henry suddenly bursts forward and see the late run of Pires, he plays in the Frenchman who takes a touch...
Mostovoi is far from happy after being penalised for a trip on Edu
Mostovoi floats it in, and Lehmann manages to collect after the ball spun off the side of Toure's head
Free=kick to Cetla 35 yards out and the chance to create something
Even the atmopshere is dead at Highbury - even though their side are cruising into the last eight
This game is going through the motions now, Arsenal are looking to conserve energy while Celta are beat
It's really stop-start now, very little fluency to the game and endless little niggly fouls
Now Campbell is the offender - getting too close to Pinilla
Mostovoi trips Campbell, free-kick to Arsenal
Arsenal start the second period at a high tempo, looking to thwart any initial impetus from the visitors
Celta kick-off the second period
Celta need another three to take an away goals advantage, but there is little sign they have the quality to produce such a startling comeback.
It's been a stroll for the Gunners, now 5-2 to the good on aggregate, and Henry could have had a hat-trick
And there goes the half-time whistle
Ljungberg's cross is deflected behind for a corner. It's take short, Pires delivers, Sergio heads clear
It comes back to Lauren, but his effort it weak and wide
Ljungberg sets Pires through on goal, he gets the ball stuck underneath his feet and he opts to square it to Henry for his hat-trick, but Cavallero does well to palm the shot away
Three minutes to be added on for stoppages
Celta have had a few sniffs at goal, but in all honestly Arsenal have rarely had to move out of first gear
Velasco and Pinilla show neat control on the edge of the area, but in the end it gets too intricate and Toure intercepts
Jesuli fells Edu, free-kick in the Arsenal half
Bergkmap gets it on the right and plays a find ball to a completely unmarked Edu at the back stick - the Brazilian gets his jump wrong, ends up underneath it and can't direct it on target. Goal-kick
It comes back in to Lopez, this time on the left, he smashes it first time and Lehmann again has to push it behind. Arsenal then clear a poor corner
The free-kick is taken short, it's a waste and Celta have to retreat to deep
Pires trips Velasco with a late tackle, free-kick just outside the area on the right. Lopez shoots from an acute angle and Lehmann has to palm it over
Contreras goes into the book for a late challenge from behind on Ljungberg
All of a sudden Pinilla finds space at the back post but fires wide with the goal at his mercy - he should have headed that one
Ljungberg's cross was good, Caceres good only get the slightest of headers on it leaving Henry completely unmarked eight yards out - and he doesn't miss from there
GOAL!!!!!
Ljungberg finds Bergkmap inside the box, who lays it back out wide for Ljunbgerg to play in a first time cross...
Celta are stuggling to impose themselves on the game. They have already lost two of their stars and now Lopez is hobbling - surely it's beyond them
Campbell trips Pinilla in the centre-circle, free-kick
Cole brings it forward and plays in Bergkamp, Cole continues his forward burst into the box and takes the return ball - only to drag his shot wide
Edu goes down looking for a free-kick after being blocked, but Collina waves play on
Arsenal are very comfortable, they still only have that one shot to mention - but it ended up in the back of the net
Peter Luccin, one of Celta's main attacking threats, isn't going to be able to carry on with that injury and he looks frustrated. On comes Mora Nieto Jesuli
Luccin is down needing treatment after a clash of legs with Edu - it looks as though he may have twisted his knee but he's back up on his feet
Bergkamp and Ljungberg link-up, but Henry fails to read the idea of the through-ball and the Swede only manages to play it through to Cavallero

Pinilla clatters Campbell - he goes down in pain and needs some treatment from Gary Lewin
The corner is played in and it drops to Ignacio, who fires wide when he had the whole goal to aim for. He wants another corner, it never was and he hangs his head
Ignacio gets away down the right, his cross is cleared only as far as Luccin. He chests it down and produces a fine volley which Lehmann has to palm over the bar
Celta now need to score three goals without reply, surely no hope for the Spanish outfit
Henry was sent clear courtesy of the skill of Dennis Bergkamp. He created the goal superbly and when he put Henry in, the French master was never going to miss and beat Cavallero with ease. 1-0 Arsenal
GOAL!!!!!
Bergkamp does brilliantly on the ball to turn his defedner and shake off the challenge. Henry's unmarked on the edge of the box and he slips it through...
