    "Just goes to show the importance of Mesut Ozil for Arsenal, he is the person to pick that pass. On the balance of play a draw will be fair."

    So close for Stoke. Joselu has a good bound effort cleared by Petr Cech's outstretched leg after Aaron Ramsey had headed off the line.

    Double change by Stoke. 

    Charlie Adam and Marco Van Ginkel are on for the closing stages with Marko Arnautovic, who hasn't been his best, and Ibrahim Afellay making way.

    "Both teams have gone long in the last few minutes, trying to find that killer pass, that long straight diagonal ball."

    Five minutes of normal time remaining. Joel Campbell is free inside the Stoke area but lifts another chance over the bar while trying to find the top corner.

    Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

    Arsenal are bossing possession but they can't find an opening. Clever one-touch stuff from Giroud but Aaron Ramsey loses possession just outside the area. Giroud flings his arms in the air. Frustration is creeping in.

    Arsene Wenger does not look happy. He wants three points. His side have 10 minutes to find a goal.

    Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

    Joel Campbell wins Arsenal a free-kick about 40 yards from Stoke's goal. It's floated into the danger area but gathered safely by Jack Butland, who sends Marko Arnautovic clear at the other end with a quick clearance, only for Petr Cech to come to his side's rescue.

    Fifteen minutes remaining. The tackles are flying, it's end to end action. Two fully committed teams going for it.

    Ryan Nicholl: All Arsenal needed all these years was a quality GK of Cech's class.

    Ian Funnell: Would love to nick 3pts but a point wouldnt be too bad a result given who we are missing today.

    Big moment for young forward Alex Iwobi who comes on for Theo Walcott with just over 15 minutes remaining. Arsenal need a goal. Can Iwobi put his name up in lights?

    One point will be enough for Arsenal to go back to the top of the Premier League. But they want all three. Here comes an attacking change.

  16. Cech's brilliant double savepublished at 71 mins

    Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

    How important could this double save from Petr Cech be for Arsenal? The keeper palmed away Joselu's shot before getting up quickly to block the follow-up from Bojan.

    Cech has kept nine clean sheets against Stoke in his Premier League career (for Chelsea and now Arsenal). Only against two teams has he kept more (Newcastle 12, Blackburn 10).

    Stoke are piling on the pressure. They are bombarding Arsenal's area with Marko Arnautovic and Jonathan Walters the targets. Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker are standing up to everything being thrown at them.

    Another save by Petr Cech as he just about scrambles Joselu's effort from the edge of the area away. This game is too close to call but I reckon one goal will be enough now.

    Stoke make their first chance. Mark Hughes clearly feels his side can nick this as he introduces striker Mame Biram Diouf for Bojan.
