    The tempo of this game has doubled since the re-start. Chances at both ends, both keepers frustrating their opponents, and there's everything to play for with half an hour of normal time remaining.

  5. GREAT DOUBLE SAVE!published at 59 mins

    Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

    Petr Cech has had little to do in this match but he earns his corn with a brilliant double save to keep Arsenal on level terms. After denying Joselu with a superb one-handed stop, Cech scrambles to his feet to keep out the rebound which falls to Bojan.

    Luke: Butland or Hart? Butland for me.

    Kurt Booth: Stoke is one of the most difficult away days in the League season but Arsenal need to be winning these games to win the title.

  8. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 54 mins

    Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

    Arsenal shouts for a penalty as Giroud is bundled to the floor by Philipp Wollscheid. It's clumsy at best by the Stoke defender but, crucially, no penalty!

    Then Theo Walcott goes down inside the area and again no penalty.

    The temperature of this match has just shot up.

    That's three excellent saves by Jack Butland. He's heading for a bottle of Man of the Match champagne. Terrific stuff by the 22-year-old.

    Arsenal are straight out of the blocks. A corner is whipped in by Aaron Ramsey and the umarked Olivier Giroud meets it full on. It's heading for the net before Jack Butland sticks out a hand to keep it out.

    "The worry for Stoke is that without Xherdan Shaqiri they do not have much pace or a real outlet.

    "Arsenal are missing Ozil. In a game like this magic players do something different.

    "There has not been much quality in the first half. Giroud should have scored from an excellent ball but for a great save from Jack Butland."

    Arsenal players are regularly getting into some advanced spots, particularly right-back Hector Bellerin (24) whose average position has him up on the halfway line.

    That Joel Campbell (28) is the Gunners' most advanced player shows how they are looking to attack down the right.

    More replays of Jack Butland's save to deny Olivier Giroud. It gets better and better and is in keeping with the young keeper's outstanding season. Giroud looks certain to score after Joel Campbell's lovely pass but Butland spreads himself to block as the Arsenal striker tries to lift it over him.

    This is not a classic. Neither was the opening 45 minutes of Chelsea against Everton yesterday before bedlam and six goals at Stamford Bridge.

    Jack Butland's saves from Olivier Giroud and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have been crucial for Stoke, who are missing the pace of Xherdan Shaqiri

    Lots of hot air from the fans but the temperature is plunging at the Britannia. Arsene Wenger is out of his seat, arms folded, shivering on the touchline, urging his players on. Referee Craig Pawson has his work cut out. The first half has seen a catalogue of fouls and little action in front of goal.
