    Palace twist first. They send on forward Jean-Philippe Mateta in a straight swap with Odsonne Edouard, who has done little this half after missing that golden opportunity in the first.

    Joe: A bag of nerves doesn't make that sort of save! Well done, Ramsdale.

    Wide!

    Martin Odegaard hits the free-kick but his radar is off.

    Saliba has had to bide his time for a chance at Arsenal. Looks the part, though.

    What a chance for Eze. That was brilliant goalkeeping - Ramsdale was out in a flash. White made a poor decision on the far side and it was a brilliantly threaded through-ball from Zaha as Odegaard found himself in the full-back position.

    Palace smell blood.

    They get forward again down the left and it takes a wonderful tackle from William Saliba to stop Wilfried Zaha finding room for a shot.

    It should be 1-1! Wilfried Zaha plays a defence splitting pass and puts Eze through on Ramsdale but he scuffs his finish and hits it straight at Ramsdale. Zaha has started this second half a lot better and the crowd are chanting his name

    Save!

    Palace with another glorious chance, but Aaron Ramsdale does his job once more. Wilfried Zaha's angled ball puts Eberechi Eze in on goal. he goes low with his shot and the Gunners keeper blocks. Should possibly have gone for a chip.

    Joachim Anderson has been good for Palace. He heads away the corner to set the home side away on the break...

    Arsenal win a corner. Fine work from Bukayo Saka initially and then Martin Odegaard's shot is deflected wide.

    Not sure about this Palace kit. It looks like what I'd get if I asked my young niece to draw their kit from last season.

    Oof, Aaron Ramsdale does love to dangle a chance out there for Palace!

    He comes for the corner and drops it before gathering at the second attempt.

    More handball shouts, this time against Ben White, who controls a Jordan Ayew cross and clears.

    Not even a hint that the ref is going to point to the spot.

    Palace come again, though, and win a corner.

    Robbie: It's been a really good watch, this game. Now for Arteta to make his team rub their hands and visualise the second half...
