74' Close! The ball drops for Maanum in the area and her shot curls just over the crossbar. 0-0

74' Russo drives forward and Bright does well to clear her low cross. Can Arsenal just find a strong spell for five or ten minutes? 0-0

70' This second half has flown by without much really in the way of chances. A draw certainly suits Chelsea better, but will Arsenal gamble? 0-0

66' Correction, Beth Mead is off. 0-0

65' Mead breaks forward but is tripped by Charles cynically. Blackstenius replaces Russo upfront. 0-0

61' Another chance as Nusken drives forward and goes for goal, narrowly missing the far post. She scored with her backside in this fixture last season, I've only just remembered. 0-0

49' Macario's corner is flicked on by Nusken at the near post and behind for a goal kick. 0-0

46' The second half is underway. 0-0

Maika Hamano comes on for Mayra Ramirez at half-time. Interesting.

Can I just categorically say the music and entertainment here at Stamford Bridge is absolutely awful. Liquidator, Chelsea Dagger, Parklife, One Step Beyond, fair enough. But all of this remixed tripe blasted far too loud with Chelsea's announcers trying to get the crowd dancing is just dreadful.

An enthralling half with Arsenal surviving an early onslaught before creating some good chances. All to play for.

Half time: Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

45+1' Four added minutes. 0-0

33' Arsenal clear a Chelsea corner and Nusken and Little collide in doing so, both will be tended to by the physios. 0-0

30' Another chance! Mariona plays through Fox and Hampton makes a smart save. 0-0

30' Arsenal are looking to go a bit more direct now- long balls, crosses from wide areas, and having success with it. It's taken the pressure off their defence too, who were right up against it for 20 minutes. 0-0

29' Now McCabe gets onto a long ball in behind and Charles punts it behind for a corner. 0-0

22' Now Baltimore drags down Mead who defended really well there, and Arsenal do get a free-kick. 0-0

19' Mead is clipped by Charles as Arsenal break but there's nothing doing for referee Heaslip, angering the Arsenal bench. She's able to continue. 0-0

15' Arsenal's first real move forward as Cooney-Cross floats the ball in towards Mead at the back post, Bronze clears it off the England forward behind for a goal kick but the flag is raised anyway. 0-0

1' Williamson loses possession and Macario is able to dig out a shot, which van Domselaar gets down low to save. 0-0

1' Underway at Stamford Bridge! 0-0

Both sides have taken their team photos and gone into huddles, almost time for kick-off.

Here come the teams!

The Arsenal dugout is only a few rows in front of me in the press box at Stamford Bridge, and subs and coaches are taking their places ahead of kick-off. The teams are in the tunnel!

Arsenal have sold out their away allocation and occupy about half of the Shed End- they were given the full stand last season but it's just 3,000- odd tickets this time around. It'll be part of a record Chelsea Women crowd at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have unveiled new signing Naomi Girma ahead of kick-off in the pouring English rain! Reportedly the most expensive player in women's football history.

It's absolutely tipping it down at Stamford Bridge and the DJ and all of his equipment is getting soaked. That explains some of the appalling pre-match music. Cotton Eye Joe? Remixing everything? No thanks!

Emily Heaslip is today's referee. Arsenal fans have gone through enough this weekend, should I remind you, so let's hope for a much quieter afternoon for the woman in black.

There are never any half-measures when these sides meet, come to think of it. Arsenal won 4-1 and lost 3-1 in the league last season to the Blues, and came out on top after extra time in an emotional Conti Cup final. I wouldn't bet on a draw, although Chelsea probably wouldn't complain.

And to put any fears to bed, Arsenal are wearing their RED socks so there will be no repeat of last season's delayed kick-off, which saw the Gunners wear Chelsea's spare dark blue socks... bad memories!

Foord is crossing from the left wing and Mead from the right in Arsenal's warmups, usually a good indication of how the Gunners will line up in attack.

Arsenal fans sang Laura Wienroither's chant as Living On A Prayer is played at Stamford Bridge, Lotte Wubben-Moy joined in and made sure to point it out to the Austrian! Nice moment.

Chelsea go into the game seven points clear of Arsenal at the top of the WSL, so a win for the Blues will surely put them too far ahead of any title opposition. If Arsenal can close the gap to four points however, the remainder of the season will get a lot more interesting. There is so much at stake in South-West London.

Arsenal's last loss was Jonas Eidevall's final game, with Renee Slegers yet to taste defeat as interim or permanent head coach. If Chelsea's 2-1 win at the Emirates in October was the end of one era, this really feels like two giants colliding now, and that's testament to Slegers and her side.

So then, it's a clash between two unbeaten managers. Sonia Bompastor replaced Emma Hayes in the summer and has only dropped points in the form of a 1-1 draw at Leicester before Christmas.

Walti is fit enough for the bench after being withdrawn as a precaution in first half stoppage time away to Brighton in midweek.

Mariona starts in the number ten role with Mead and Foord on the wings.

Chelsea subs: Musovic, James, Reiten, Lawrence, Kaptein, Hamano, Mpome, Jean-Francois, Beever-Jones.

Chelsea: Hampton; Charles, Bright, Bjorn, Bronze; Cuthbert, Nusken; Baltimore, Macario, Kaneryd; Ramirez.

Arsenal subs: Zinsberger, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Wienroither, Reid, Walti, Maanum, Kafaji, Blackstenius.

Arsenal: Van Domselaar; McCabe, Catley, Williamson, Fox; Little, Cooney-Cross; Foord, Mariona, Mead; Russo.

Let's get straight to the team news...

A very good morning and welcome to our live coverage of Arsenal Women's crucial WSL trip to Chelsea!
