90 mins: There will be four minutes added on... and Arsenal have a corner. But it comes to nothing.
89 mins: It's real end-to-end stuff now with both sides going for the win... Van Persie very nearly slides Santos in.
88 mins: Good challenge! The ball breaks to Sturridge six yards out but Koscielny launches in just in time to nick the ball away.
86 mins: Close! Santos does brilliantly to break the play up and set Gervinho away. He runs at the Chelsea back four at pace and slides in Van Persie, but he can't wriggle out a shooting opportunity on his left foot and is eventually tackled. It's not been his day.
83 mins: Chance! Memories of Stamford Bridge as Terry slips trying to intercept the throughball, leaving Van Persie running through with a tight angle to beat Cech. His right foot shot slices horribly wide though.
80 mins: Penalty shout! Not given. Van Persie went down under the challenge of Cahill as Song clipped in a decent ball. It would have been harsh were it given.
