    Arsenal have one last opportunity but a ball towards Frida Maanum goes out of play. Mere seconds left.

    Nine shots on target they have score at least one of those. They will be relly disappointed with those statistics. The team has performed well but it is just about getting the goals sometimes and it is not all about the forwards.

    This is absolute agony for Arsenal. They're doing everything possible to try and break the deadlock but it just isn't working.

    Arnold claims a cross and predictably dives on it. She'll take her time with the clearance.

    Very loud shouts of 'OUT' whenever the ball gets near the West Ham box. They're clearing their lines at every available opportunity.

    The endeavour and commitment from West Ham has been great. Everyone knows what is expected of them and hopefully for West Ham it pays off for them.

    Arnold again!

    Leah Williamson launches an effort from range and Mackenzie Arnold dives into the air to touch it behind for a corner.

    It may not have been going on target but that was a well-timed stop. West Ham aren't taking any risks.

    For all those shots, Arsenal still haven't got the breakthrough. They're up to 20 as a team.

    A fun stat: Caitlin Foord has attempted 5 shots, the first time she has attempted at least 5 shots in a match in the Women's Super League since facing West Ham United on 8th May 2022 (5 shots).

    Abbey-Leigh Stringer and Emma Snerle make way for Lucy Parker and Kate Longhurst for West Ham.

    Can those changes help them to see this game out?

    Huge chance!

    Caitlin Foord is through but realises she probably won't be able to beat Hawa Cissoko. She attempts to chip from distance and the ball ends up a long, long way from the goal.

    West Ham 0-0 Arsenal

    We've reached the stage of the game where West Ham's approach is to get the ball as far away as possible from their penalty box.

    They've got everybody back to defend and Arsenal just can't find a way through.

    It is a lonely game up there for Thestrup, West Ham are panicking whenever they win possession back at the moment.

    There was a penalty shout in the 79th minute as Caitlin Foord went over in the box in a tustle with Hawa Cissoko. The referee waved the claims away and the replays show that was likely the correct decision.

    West Ham have a very rare attack but there's no way for Lisa Evans to get past Laura Wienroither. Arsenal return to normality after a momentary blip.

    Some of the sold-out away end think Arsenal have the lead as Katie McCabe sends a well-hit half-volley towards Mackenzie Arnold's goal but her effort brushes the side netting.

    Paul Konchesky will be rueing the fact that his team were denied that first-half penalty chance.

    This would be a very different proposition if West Ham were in front.

    Frida Maanum went with the wrong decision there. She goes with the front of her foot and it ends up like a lob and a scoop over the bar. They need to be more decisive, how many more chances are they going to get?

    Both sides look to their benches as we approach the final ten minutes.

    West Ham introduce former Arsenal player Lisa Evans for Viviane Asseyi.

    The visitors, meanwhile, hand a league debut to Gio, who replaces Stina Blackstenius.

    Ooooh! One of the best chances of the game as the ball drops to Frida Maanum after Catlin Foord heads it on but the Arsenal striker chips it over.
