Not long until Arsenal open their Premier League campaign at home to champions Manchester City on 12 August.

The Gunners are off to Stockholm next to meet Lazio on Saturday while Chelsea are at Wembley on Sunday to face City in the Community Shield.

Will Callum Hudson-Odoi feature? Let's hope so.

Until next time...

What terrific entertainment!

Chelsea should have been out of sight but Petr Cech's save from Alvaro Morata's early penalty proved crucial as Arsenal equalise with the last kick of normal time before winning the penalty shootout.

Who will win the penalty shootout?

It's about to begin.

GOAL - Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea

Last kick of the game!

It's been coming and Alexandre Lacazette diverts the ball over the line inside the six yard area after a super cross by Reiss Nelson.

Lacazette didn't know much about it but it means this thoroughly entertaining game will be decided by a penalty shootout.

Nine Chelsea players behind the ball. Arsenal are camped on the edge of the Blues penalty area. Three minutes additional time.

GREAT SAVE!

Arsenal should be on level terms but what a stop by substitute keeper Marcin Bulka to deny Alex Iwobi who cannot believe he has not equalised. The strapping Polish stopper sticks out a strong hand to deflect Iwobi's first time attempt away. The Gunners are getting closer and closer to an equaliser but they are running out of time.

It's coming up to man-of-the-match time. Stop the voting now and just give it to Callum Hudson-Odoi. The Chelsea kid has been terrific and he's getting a standing ovation as he is replaced in the closing minutes.
