Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal | HIGHLIGHTS - Extended | Premier League 24/25

It's Chelsea versus Arsenal, Blue versus Red, West versus North, however you package it, simply one of the biggest games of the season for both of these clubs. All change again from Europe to the Premier League as Enzo Maresco makes 11 alterations to the side that started against Noah. The big news is that Cole Farmer is fit after taking a whack at Old Trafford last weekend. The only change from the game against Manchester United sees Mark Kukerea come in for Rhys James, so Malo Gusto will switch to right back. Jadon Sancho remains unavailable. Otherwise, it's a fully fit squad. Martin Odegaard starts for Arsenal for the first time since August after an ankle injury. Declan Rice has also made it, despite a rumoured broken toe. Those two in for Mourinho and Trossard are the changes from the XI that started Tuesday's defeat away to Inter. Kai Havertz is in against his old club, but Jorginho has to make do with a place on the bench. He's starting at breakneck speed, as you would expect. This has been the team's side this day. He was going to try his luck from distance. My word. Anybody else, you would have said that was speculative. He stung the palms of Raya with it. Well, he was involved in the previous move and he's passed to Madhuake. As simple as it was, it was executed perfectly with the pace. Onside, Madhuake far post. Palmer edge of the box and same to Madhuake, who got some contact. We couldn't steer it on target. Really promising counterattack from Chelsea, though. An example of where they can hurt Arsenal in this game. Oh, it's a brilliant cross. Gusto's headed over from inside the six yard box. The best chance of the game by a mile. Excellent work from Neto. Gusto hurt in trying to score, but score he surely should have. This is at both ends. It's a great touch from Martinelli, you've got to say. Yeah, he stays up rather than going to ground. But I think Martinelli on his weaker side just doesn't get that close enough to the corner. They keep taking quickly. Havertz trying to get the shot away and he's squeezed it in. Chelsea switched off and Havertz returns to Stamford Bridge to haunt them. You'll see furious and protesting to Michael Oliver. But now at least the goal is good. The first question to be answered is whether Havertz is onside or not. No goal. Offside is flashed up on the screen. And Kai Havertz, who was shushing the Matthew Harding stand a second ago. Well, he's the one who's got to be quiet now. Leckie fending it, really good ball from Wesley Pofana. Decent attempt that from the defender. Danger here, Martinelli scores and the flag stays down. And Arsenal are ahead on the hour. ...celebrates a goal, just flipped over the top. And Arsenal had two men over on the left hand side. Is he quiet anywhere near? Initially. He's going to have a go, Jürgen Timber. 20 minutes plus, Aaron Neto, nobody tracked him. He's going to have a goal! Defensively, always a good ball and Moreno just onto the pitch. If he could get a toenail to that, would have made it 2-1. Moreno got his head to it. Oh, Sanchez, just for a moment. He's spooked by the presence of Havertz in front of him. He'll wait for a moment. That was close. A little lucky there. All of a sudden, Chelsea are in the ascendancy. No problems here, though. Moreno waiting for a cutback. Great save. What about the follow up? He's blazed over. The flag went up anyway. It wouldn't have counted. Sanchez didn't know that, though. Feels like another enormous save. Mossad, face for Odegaard. And for Saliba. Saliba across the face of goal. Arsenal could, should have won it. But the flag was up, so it wouldn't have counted. And that's the last act of a fascinating game. A really close match between two teams you can't be separated by much in the Premier League table. Chance right at the end. Tell you what, I'm not sure that was offside. What an opportunity to win it. Pedro Neto, the hero for Chelsea. A thunderbolt from him to take a point that was the least that Chelsea deserved on the day. They go into the final international break of the year. Third in the table, still above Arsenal in it.
