A few discussions are going on over who's going to take this, looks like the skipper will step up.

Martin Odegaard drops to the deck and Alex Scott has his arms out while pleading his innocence.
This is prime Declan Rice territory but he's sat on the bench.

Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's been stilted and really stodgy from Arsenal. You've seen how they've not managed to get at this Bournemouth side.

We've got six more minutes to play at the end of this one.

Martin Odegaard finds Ethan Nwaneri in the box but Milos Kerkez stands up well and wins his side a free-kick.
The Arsenal youngster was too keen there.

Arsenal’s forwards are terrible, no killer instinct. When one of your midfielders is your best striker it should say something to the manager.

Should imagine we'll have a decent chunk of stoppage time at the end of this one.
VAR had a lengthy look at the Evanilson goal.

If Arsenal fans were wishing for a handball they need to consider that Odegaard was trying to rugby tackle Evanilson and the alternative could have been a penalty and red card.

Bournemouth's time to make another change with goalscorer Evanilson making way for Daniel Jebbison.

Mikel Arteta has a roll of the dice and looks to his bench:
ON: Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling, Oleksandr Zinchenko.
OFF: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White.

Bukayo Saka shows great strength to hold off Dean Huijsen as he finds Mikel Merino.
The ball is then played backwards and groans can be heard coming from the home fans.

Nothing more than Bournemouth deserve. Countless times I’ve watched Arsenal this season and their front players always want one touch too many, to make one more pass than is needed.

Bournemouth knocking it about nicely in the midfield as they look for an opening to secure the three points here but the attack breaks down and Arsenal have the ball.

How is that not clear cut that it hits his elbow?? The way the ball drops down and that last camera angle shows it clearly hits the elbow.

We're into the final 10 minutes at the Emirates as Arsenal look for a way back into this game.
Remember, Champions League football for next season is not yet secured.

I wouldn’t even mind Arsenal losing to Bournemouth if we played the kids today and rested the key players for the crucial game on Wednesday but no we field our starting XI… absolute madness.

Match Facts
Arsenal have won all eight of their home games against Bournemouth in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and conceding just four.
Bournemouth have kept just one clean sheet in their 15 Premier League meetings with Arsenal, though it was a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture this season.
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 35 Premier League games on the weekend immediately following a midweek European match (W24 D10), going down 2-0 at home to Aston Villa in April last year.
Arsenal have failed to win nine Premier League games in which they led so far this season (D9), more than they had in the previous two campaigns combined (4 in 2022-23, 4 in 2023-24). They’ve never failed to win 10 games from ahead in a single season before.
Though they’re unbeaten in four (W1 D3), Bournemouth have won just one of their last nine Premier League games (D4 L4). It’s a run that has seen the Cherries drop from 5th to 10th in the league table.
Only Liverpool (1) and Arsenal (2) have lost fewer Premier League away games than Bournemouth (4) this season. However, the Cherries are winless in their last 11 league games in London (D6 L5), with each of their last five visits ending level.
Each of Arsenal’s three Premier League defeats this season have come against teams starting the day in the bottom half of the table, with the Gunners unbeaten in their last 18 against sides in the top 10 (W10 D8).
Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard has scored four goals in his last four Premier League games, as many as he had in his previous 31. Three of these four strikes have put Arsenal ahead in the match.
Only Mohamed Salah (120) has had more shots than Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo (118) in the Premier League this season. However, Semenyo has the fifth lowest conversion rate of anyone with 50+ shots this term (7.6%).
Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert has been involved in 13 goals in his last 10 Premier League away games (10 goals, 3 assists), while only Mohamed Salah (16) has scored on the road than the Dutchman this term (10).
