    Hakim Ziyech strikes at goal for Chelsea but it is well over the bar. Into injury time.

    If Chelsea are to make the Arsenal fans nervous, they really need to score again soon.

    Anon: I'm a Liverpool fan, but I've also enjoyed - and endured - watching Arsenal this season. But I don't think they'll do it.

    Nick: As an Argyle fan we could be playing Southampton, Everton and Chelsea next season.

    Martin Odegaard is on a hat-trick - and nearly gets it.

    He shifts the ball on to the left foot and strikes low and hard but Kepa Arrizabalaga is equal to it.

    Gunners centre-half Gabriel has been through the wars today, repeatedly needing medical treatment over the past 20 minutes and he can't go anymore as he limps off with Rob Holding coming on.

    There's another change too for Arsenal with ex-Chelsea man Jorginho being replaced by Thomas Partey.

    Wesley Fofana is replaced by Trevoh Chalobah for Chelsea.

    Chelsea did score from nothing, but they seem a long way from getting back into this game. Arsenal seem relatively comfortable.

    Anon: Chelsea are by far the worst team in the league but at least if we get a point against Bournemouth then we won’t get relegated. Otherwise it’s QPR next year!!

    Jules: As a Tranmere Rovers fan I'd happily take any of this Chelsea starting 11 next season. Mid-table certainty in league 2 if that were to happen!

    J-Rich: Arsenal always making every finish nervy when it shouldn’t. They really miss Saliba at the back. Some new depth is needed to win trophies next season

    Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea

    Mykhailo Mudryk and Conor Gallagher have added a bit of zip to the Chelsea attacking options. Mudryk sprints down the left, before Gallagher gets it and is fouled.

    Mudryk to swing the delivery in close to the touchline. Thiago Silva gets in a header and it is deflected away for a corner, which Gabriel heads clear.

    Steven: I think lack of true depth at centre back has cost Arsenal the league. Having to rely on Rob Holding at the business end of the season. Not sure Kiwior was an aggressive enough signing.

    Ryan: Just as I was about to say Madueke is the only player who cares tonight, that happens. Finally the youthful energy we need.

    Pixie: Chelsea have 25 minutes to get 2 more goals. It took them 695 minutes to get the last 2

    Noni Madueke (21 years 53 days) is the youngest Englishman to score in the Premier League for Chelsea since Callum Hudson-Odoi in October 2021 vs Norwich (20 years 350 days).

    David: Well, beginning to fear Arsenal completely choking here.

    Anon: Yet again, conceding a goal that makes a game where we were coasting uncomfortable and nervy. MC wouldn't do this. This naivety has been evident for the past few weeks and is the difference between the top two. Be interesting to see if we can kick on again next season and eradicate these type of mistakes.

    Arsenal 3-1 Chelsea

    Changes for both sides.

    Mykhailo Mudryk on, Enzo Fernandez off, Conor Gallagher on, Raheem Sterling off for Chelsea.

    "You should've signed for the Arsenal," is the chant aimed at Mudryk after constantly being linked with a move to the Emirates before going to Stamford Bridge.

    Arsenal bring on Kieran Tierney for Oleksandr Zinchenko with Reiss Nelson on for Bukayo Saka.

    Chelsea have got a look in. It depends now how Arsenal react. It was Chelsea's one good chance of the game and they've taken it. Fortunate with the finish but it doesn't matter. Chelsea have a glimmer of hope.

    It depends how Arsenal react now.

    Hope for Chelsea out of nowhere.

    Mateo Kovacic plays a lovely ball through the middle of the Arsenal defence, Noni Madueke takes a touch to set himself with his second seeing the ball go past Aaron Ramsdale for Madueke's first ever Premier League goal since his £29m move from PSV Eindhoven in January.

    Grant: Re: Nick at 21.09. Chelsea players might want to put down the bucket and spade and avoid relegation first!

    Mark: As it stands, Chelsea on 39pts, are only 39pts behind Arsenal.

    Arsenal 3-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea lead a counter-attack and have a four-on-two chance with N'Golo Kante zooming forward.

    But the Blues make a mess of it. It nearly rebounds into Noni Madueke's path but he can only square the ball from a tight angle and only finds a red, not a blue, shirt.
