Chelsea vs Arsenal LIVE: Carabao Cup latest score and goal updates as Ben White strikes | Football

Gyokeres gets in an effort on goal…sort of. It was very difficult as he got to an Odegaard ball in. The striker was moving away from goal and tried to flick on a header, which looped out of play.

Unlikely man leading the a break for Arsenal, but Zubimendi wins a corner from Fofana. Rice delivers, but it’s easily defended by Chalobah.

Arsenal work the ball into the box with Timber, there is then some fiddling about on the edge of the area before Trossard has a crack but it’s a poor effort and it’s a long way over.

Estevao cuts in from the right and hits a good shot towards the near post which Kepa turns behind.

Corner is half-cleared before Gabriel is fouled. Free-kick Arsenal.

Trossard breaks into the box and his shot is blocked. Corner which Rice swings in and Sanchez catches confidently.

Nice intricate play from Chelsea in the box. Joao Pedro gets a shot/cross off. Probably a scuffed shot and no one can capitalise as it flashes across goal.

Acheampong breaks down the right, where he has been bright, and he fires a shot which is saved. Flag goes up, he was offside.

Odegaard whips in a low free-kick from the left. Not well dealt with but it’s an awkward one for Zubimendi when it pops up to him and he volleys over.

Foul from William Saliba as he shoves over Joao Pedro on Chelsea’s left flank. It’s been a fairly intense pace so far, but not any nastiness.

Robert Sanchez is being tested on the deck as well as in the air. Gyokeres pressing hard and the Chelsea goalkeeper will have a lot of passing under pressure to do.

Bukayo Saka takes this corner from the right, Sanchez paws at it and is given a free-kick for a challenge from Saliba.

Nice break from Arsenal as Zubimendi finds Gyokeres in an awkward position with his back to goal on the edge of the box. He spins and gets a shot away, deflected behind for a dreaded corner.

Chelsea have resettled after that early blow. Knocking the ball around quite well in Arsenal’s half, but the Gunners’ defence is so well drilled. Vague threat leads to nothing.

Enzo Fernandez gets in a strike on goal from outside the area, but it is very comfortably held by Kepa.

Mikel Arteta is reminded to stay in his technical area by the fourth official. Unlikely to be the last time that happens this evening.

There was a brief VAR check but no problem with the Ben White goal.

That will be a real concern for the new Chelsea boss because his goalkeeper had a shocker there in the face of Arsenal’s great strength.

Arsenal have their first chance to test Chelsea from a corner and the Blues cannot deal with it.

Declan Rice swings in a corner from the left and Ben White rises to nod in a free header after Robert Sanchez flaps and misses the ball.

Guiu tries to have a wrestle with Gabriel. Doesn’t feel like a battle he is likely to win. The Chelsea man gives away a free-kick in the Arsenal half.

Chelsea looking to press high and give the Arsenal goalkeeper and defenders very little time on the ball. Kepa will be put to the test on the ball.

An early corner for Chelsea won by Neto. Fernandez swings it in right-footed, but it is straight out of play.
