'Arsenal, Arsenal' chant the fans in red and white in the far right-hand corner.

Is this the big moment? Ann-Katrin Berger makes arguably her best save of the night yet!

This time she keeps out Vivianne Miedema at the far post from about three yards, after the Netherlands striker chested down Caitlin Foord's right-wing cross.

We all thought that was going to be the equaliser.

Arsenal are ramping up the pressure now, with Vivianne Miedema suddenly at the centre of everything in attack.

There are 10 minutes of the 90 to go...

The first change of the match sees Maria Thorisdottir replace South Korea's Ji So-yun for Chelsea, who are now less than 15 minutes away from winning this cup for the first time.

There's a new record crowd for this competition of 6,743 here at the City Ground.

Caitlin Foord's teasing cross to the far post is headed across goal by Vivianne Miedema but it's touched just wide by Ann-Katrin Berger. It's a third really top save in this game from the German keeper.

With 20 minutes to go, the lively spectators here at the City Ground continue to make plenty of noise with their clapperboards, under the lights.

I think the ball was just running away a little bit from her for Sam Kerr to get the contact she wanted.

Only one goal for Chelsea so far but if she keeps getting into those positions, she will get more.

Here's Sam Kerr with the chance to double Chelsea's lead... Through on goal, she tries to touch it past keeper Manuela Zinsberger and then slot home, but she can't quite provide the finish. It's blocked. Arsenal defend the situation well.

Chelsea will want another goal, you would be naive to try to hold on to a 1-0 lead in a cup final with the calibre of players that Arsenal have.

This is a good period for Arsenal now, they are getting bodies into the box and Vivianne Miedema looks like she has come alive.

Almost right on cue, Vivianne Miedema drills low and just wide of the far post with a powerful strike. She's still a huge threat.

You have to say, Millie Bright and the rest of Chelsea's backline have done really well to keep Vivianne Miedema fairly quiet so far this evening.

Now Guro Reiten feeds Beth England with a through ball down Chelsea's left but England is arguably a touch greedy this time and goes for goal herself when others were waiting in the middle and her shot is saved.

Chelsea's Guro Reiten fires just over the bar from just outside the box after meeting Sophie Ingle's ball.

I think the Conti Cup is more important to Chelsea this year because they aren’t in the Champions League.

It’s the opportunity to win another trophy without having that Champions League focus – a focus Arsenal will have.

The territory is all Arsenal's at the moment as they go in search of the equaliser.

The Blues get the second half under way.

To remind you, Arsenal are bidding for their sixth Continental League Cup crowd. Chelsea are in this final for the first time.
