Arsenal v Bournemouth (12:30 BST)
Bournemouth
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola speaing to TNT Sports: "I think it is now the next level. We are going to play against a team that is fighting for the title but we know the level of the game is going to be very high. I hope we have a good performance."
On his relationship with Mikel Arteta: "It is really nice to see Mikel again. We played together and we lose the relationship over the years but then we remember a lot of things. It is nice to play against him. I respect him as a manager and for me it is going to be a challenge to beat Arsenal.
"We have improved. It was a difficult start and difficult schedule. Arsenal were much better than us when we faced them but I hoe we are closer now. You have to do your best and hope things go your way. I hope we can win."
On Antoine Semenyo: "He is so strong. We were really positively surprised. He has had good training and he is very ready and he will play with no hesitance."
On Lloyd Kelly's absence: "He is out. He has been ill. We have had a lot of illness in the squad in the past few weeks and now it is his turn. I hope it is nothing big but he is not ready for today."
On the task of playing Arsenal: "I know it is going to be difficult. I trust my players. We are in a good place but this is the next level. We have to be clinical when we have the chance and suffer when we have to suffer and be competitive."
