    At the top of the table, Chelsea were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Leicester, while Harry Kane broke another record as Spurs ran rampant against Everton.

  3. Early team newspublished at 12:02 Greenwich Mean Time 14 January 2018

    Bournemouth v Arsenal (13:30 GMT)

    The team news will officially be announced in around 30 minutes but here's who is and isn't available for selection.

    Bournemouth pair Joshua King and Junior Stanislas face fitness tests, having been sidelined in recent weeks with hamstring injuries.

    Jermain Defoe and Tyrone Mings are back in training but remain unavailable.

    Former Bournemouth loanee Jack Wilshere could be involved for Arsenal as the ankle injury he suffered in the League Cup is not as bad as first feared.

    Mesut Ozil is a major doubt with a knee injury but Aaron Ramsey and Sead Kolasanic are both fit again.

    Adolf Zelig: Alexis Sanchez should head to Anfield, Jurgen Klopp would turn him into a world class player.

    Jamilu: I'd like Alexis Sanchez to join Man United. Not because he score more goals, but because of his playmaking skill. Something Henrikh Mkhitaryan lacks.

    Where do you think Arsenal's no.7 will end up come the end of the month? Let us know!

    Ready to go for today's lunchtime kick off in Bournemouth unlike Alexis Sanchez who hasn't travelled.

    FINALLY, the Alexis Sanchez transfer saga appears to be nearing its conclusion.

    The Arsenal forward had looked set for a move to Manchester City last summer - that didn't happen - and now it appears Manchester United may have jumped in to snatch the Chile international from under Pep Guardiola's nose.

    The Gunners take on Bournemouth in the first Premier League game of the day but, according to reports,, external Sanchez has not traveled with his team-mates to the south coast.
