Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal (half time)

Once again, referee Michael Oliver and VAR have combined to rob Arsenal.

Although Havertz thought he'd put the Gunners ahead, poking in Rice's free kick after Chelsea switched off. It was a borderline offside. In the old days, it would have counted, as Havertz looked level; he must have been a mosquito wing's breadth offside, but that's 'clear and obvious', according to VAR,

Martinelli also had a chance, but sidefooted his effort rather than putting his laces through the ball. It was a bouncing ball and not as easy to score as pundits are making out, but it was still a missed opportunity.

At the stage, it looks like one goal could decide this game and it could go either way. While it's good to see Ødegaard back, Saka has been quieter than usual thanks to the attention of Cucurella.

The question is how long can Ødegaard last in his first game back after injury.
