A magnificent goal from a brilliantly worked routine, capped with a lovely finish by Ryan Christie.

Arsenal have 18 minutes plus change to avoid defeat.

Kepa goes from zero to hero in seconds.

The Bournemouth keeper gives the ball away playing out from the back, Mikel Merino feeds in Gabriel Martinelli who is one on one with the goalie - but Kepa makes a superb save down to his left.

Both keepers have had error prone evenings, but neither has conceded yet.

Ben White is booked for taking too long over a throw.

Gabriel Martinelli almost makes an instant impact, a whipped cross from the left just flicked off the head of Kai Havertz by Marco Senesi.

Arsenal have won 10 of their 12 away Premier League games so far in 2024, with their only two failures both coming away against Manchester City.

That's the scale of Bournemouth's achievement so far, even against 10 men.

I'm slightly surprised that Dango Ouattara is coming off, he has looked very dangerous on the left hand side for Bournemouth. He created that chance for Antoine Semenyo at the start of the half.

Now an Arsenal change, as Gabriel Martinelli is introduced.

Leandro Trossard makes way.

We have a triple Bournemouth change.

Off: Dango Ouattara, Alex Scott and Marcus Tavernier.

On: Ryan Christie, Justin Kluivert and Luis Sinisterra.

Antoine Semenyo has been booked for getting into a needless scrap with Leandro Trossard.

A scrappy game will suit Arsenal.

If Arsenal win tonight, it will be their 2,000th victory in top flight league matches. Only Liverpool have more in English football history.

That's a big if, on the current evidence.

Arsenal are looking fairly comfortable. Yes Bournemouth had that chance early in the half with Antoine Semenyo but they have just had a good period of possession after it.

They are just looking to kill the game really. Even with 10 men the quality they have means they can keep the ball and keep it away from Bournemouth. Now they are just hoping for that one opportunity to nick the game.

Dango Ouattara is having plenty of joy down the left, another dangerous cross is headed away by Riccardo Calafiori.

Marcus Tavernier then guides a header narrowly off target.

This game was played at half-tempo in the first half, and the second period has not been much better.

Arsenal may be down to 10 men, but it has been a lukewarm display regardless.

David Raya is almost caught out by a Dango Ouattara cross, but his flapping fingertips just guide the ball away from the waiting Antoine Semenyo.

Gabriel Martinelli, who passed a late fitness test to be available for the Arsenal bench tonight, is warming up.

Bournemouth are winless in their last 11 against sides in the top half since beating Manchester United 3-0 in December last year.

They have a great chance to break that streak tonight.

Arsenal have a corner. Situations like these have been so fruitful for them this season, and with 10 men they need set pieces more than usual tonight.

This one is wasted, however, as Kai Havertz heads well wide.
