Chelsea against Arsenal

Chelsea waste the freekick though. Now Cole shows his stamina is second to none with a superb challenge to rob Melchiot

Gallas' progress down the right is halted by Wiltord's rugby tackle. Blatant foul but no yellow card from referee D'Urso

Stanic rises impressively to head Gronkjaer's delivery from the right, but Seaman has time to get across to claim

More tireless stuff from Toure, hurtling towards the Chelsea box before stumbling under Melchiot's challenge. Chelsea clear and Cole is forced into conceding a corner at the other end, with Hasselbaink lurking

Now a baptism of fire as Pascal Cygan makes his debut, coming on for Kanu, who has been anonymous for the last few minutes

Forty yards out and Toure fancies his chances with the free-kick blast. Not a bad effort either, but drifting just high and wide

Great teamwork from the Arsenal defence as Gronkjaer threatens. Cole and Toure combine before Parlour bursts away with the loose ball. They shift it forward where Melchiot chops into Wiltord

Gilberto finds Cole, who feeds Toure but Melchiot is fouled as the Arsenal substitute pressures

De Lucas stabs it to the edge of the box but Gallas is offside. Hasselbaink has still hardly had a touch

Stanic finds Gronkjaer with a long ball but the Dane's control is poor. Arsenal break and Parlour surges into an attacking position down the left. He tries to cut inside Gallas, but the ball catches the defender and the Arsenal man has no support

Ranieri gesticulating wildly as his team continue to struggle against ten men. Parlour covers back to rob Stanic brilliantly and then win a free-kick

Chelsea look like a team chasing the game. Desailly is miles up field as he is penalised for a catching Campbell late

Toure still causing problems - Cudicini has to stoop to gather a sharp strike from just outside the box

The final Chelsea substitution: Stanic on for the tiring Zenden

Lampard's lob releases Gudjohnsen to the left of the box. The Icelander looks to hook a looping shot over Seaman but it's across goal and out of play

Melchiot takes - headed clear and De Lucas immediately volleys from range. High over the bar

Wiltord looks for Parlour in the box. Desailly is back to guard the ball into Cudicini's hands. Chelsea break sharply and Cole is forced into conceding a throw

Finally the deomted Hasselbaink takes the field, coming on in place of Zola

Gudjohnsen looks to break away down the left now - but Cole and Keown do enough to dispossess him

First change from Ranieri as Melchiot replaces Le Saux. Gudjohnsen gets caught narrowly offside as Zola prods one through

But Gronkjaer bursts down the Chelsea right again, but this time the ball runs out of play

It's all Arsenal as Parlour volleys a sublime pass for Lauren out on the right. Desailly called into action as Wiltord lurks on the edge of the box

Asenal win another corner on the right. It's deep for Campbell but his header is straight down and Ferrer half-volleys clear

Gronkjaer finds space on the Chelsea right, but Seaman is out to claim the cross

No Adams these days, but typical ten-man Arsenal spirit coming to the fore

Arsenal rebuild as Toure and Cole combine. The fullback crosses and Toure is there to tap in after Cudicini palms Wiltord's shot at the far post. 1-1!

Strangely, Chelsea have hardly seen the ball since Vieira's dismissal. Now Kanu wins a corner down the right. Toure rises for it but too many Blue shirts are in the way

Arsenal come forward through Parlour. A cross from the right wing but Toure is two yards offside

D'Urso has lost control of this one. Both players are booked - Gronkjaer for an initial foul and Wiltord for retaliation

Wiltord hammers the free-kick into the wall but retrieves the ball near the touchline. Gronkjaer closes in and the pair clash, ending with the Demnark winger being hurled to the floor...

Cole breaks past Le Saux but loses control. Ferrer shields the ball but referee D'Urso deems that to be obstruction. More controversy

The Gunners even more up against it and they aren't being helped by missiles making their way onto the pitch from the stands

The Dane looks to play it in field but Vieira comes in late with studs showing. It's another yellow card and Vieira is off!

Scrappy opening to the second half. Cudicini volleys clear and Chelsea try to put some shape on play through Gronkjaer...

Wiltord overruns the offside trap, so Toure is forced to run with the ball himself. Chelsea shepherd it into the corner, where Cole - for some reason - snaps at Zenden's heels. Free-kick

No further changes for either side as Arsenal restart

Referee D'Urso blows for half-time, and the Gunners will be more than happy to be only one down after the last 15 minutes of that half.

Into injury-time and Wiltord has no support as he flicks on Campbell's long free-kick. Kanu is off the field receiving treatment for a knock

Campbell and Zola tussle, with the bigger man coming off much the better

Seaman called into action again, hacking the ball out of play as he tries to prevent Cole's touch going out for a corner

Poor clearance from Le Saux gives Arsenal a throw-in, but Zenden (looking very busy) picks up the loose ball

Wiltord finally relieves the pressure, breaking out of his own third. De Lucas obstructs his progress up field and Chelsea get their third booking of the half

Arsenal's back four working overtime as De Lucas and Zenden combine down the left. Vieira is back to hoof the cross clear

The champions under the cosh as Lampard lurks at the far post, looking to latch on to Gudjohnsen's cross. Screams for a penalty as the former Hammer gets bowled over under Cole's challenge but nothing given

Another Blues corner. This time Seaman gets a hand to it and Vieira does brilliantly to block the follow-up header

Zola's delivery again - and Seaman flaps at thin air, but Arsenal can clear

Chelsea try to force their advantage, winning a corner down the left

Zola swings it in right-footed. Seaman is rooted to the spot as Gudjohnsen rises - but the ball just curls beyond both men into the far corner. 1-0 Chelsea!

A third yellow card. This time it's Vieira cautioned for a mis-timed tackle from behind. Freekick

And the substitute makes an immediate impression down the Gunners' left, jinking inside to force a smart save from Cudicini

Edu limps off, replaced by Ivory Coast man Kolo Toure

Lampard chases a ball over the top, putting Cole under pressure, but illegally so according to referee D'Urso

Seaman has to be sharp to clear as Keown underhits his backpass with Zola bearing down on the Arsenal box

Parlour penalised as he closes down on De Lucas near the Chelsea goalline

Gronkjaer giving Cole the runaround, bursting clear on the right. Campbell steps in smartly to intercept the cross and clear for the Gunners

Now Gronkjaer gets behind Cole, hooking a cross from the byeline, across the face of goal. Zenden controls at the far post but pulls his left-footer wide. Chelsea's best chance

Zenden sweeps it in from the left and Seaman lurches out of his six-yard box to claim. Arsenal break but Wiltord's offside again as Parlour flicks on

The Parlour-Le Saux saga continues - this time the Chelsea man wins the free-kick

Lauren takes it short and Chelsea are asleep as Parlour takes aim. A powerful drive, but wide of Cudicini's left post - he should have done better with that

Parlour fires in another low cross from he right and it's Gallas again clearing. Arsenal get a throw, and immediately a free-kick as Zenden dives in on Parlour...

... alleviated by Cudicini's clearance from his six-yard box

Arsenal rebuild and this time Gallas is called into action in the box. Chelsea under pressure

Kanu turns in the inside-left channel, looking for Wiltord but Le Saux is in bravely

Vieira looks to free Wiltord but the France striker has drifted needlessly offside

Lampard bursts clear of Vieira's challenge and crosses from the right but behind Gudjohnsen. Keown is there

Parlour, Lauren and Wiltord combine with swift passing down the Arsenal right but Zola hares back to interupt

Very little time for either side to settle on the ball. Now Kanu fouls Lampard. Le Saux looks long for Gronkjaer but the Dane fails to control as the ball sails over Cole's head

Now D'Urso produces another yellow card as Le Saux tries to exact immmediate revenge with a sliding studs-up tackle on the Arsenal stalwart

Howls of derision as Parlour raises an arm on Le Saux as the two rise for a header

Vieira's sweet one-two with Wiltord almost comes off but Gallas intercepts

Now Lauren dwells on the ball in his own box. Gudjohnsen seizes the chance to cross and Keown has to divert it behind. Zola's corner is cleared from the near post though

But Chelsea fluff the short corner routine and Parlour clears up

Now Keown is over-zealous in dealing with Gudjohnsen. Zola takes the free-kick from the left and Vieira hacks it behind

Strong burst from Vieira is brought to an abrupt end by Lampard's crude tackle from behind. Yellow card from referee D'Urso

Keown is quick to distribute from the back, but Kanu is closed down in midfield and his ball for Vieira is too short

Gallas called into action as Parlour whips in a low cross from the Arsenal right

Chelsea launch it forward, but Campbell does well to clear under pressure from Gudjohnsen

A hectic opening as Vieira, Lauren and Parlour are all quickly closed down in midfield. Now Wiltord is penalised is he harries Desailly

Chelsea kick off, immediately pressuring Cole into conceding a throw-in

The main team news... Kanu starts for the champions as Henry misses out after bruising a toe in training. Meanwhile, Hasselbaink is demoted to the bench with veteran Zola starting for the Blues
