Lovely story, Alex - got to love football for moments and connections like that.

Arsenal are continuing to control play in this game but are still not doing anything to hurt Everton.

Alex: My beloved Aunt Susie was a Watford season ticket holder. I remember her telling me about seeing Ashley Young's debut. She loved him and referred to him as lovely Ashley or little Ashley for the entirety of his time at Watford and would tell anyone who would listen about how he was the star of their promotion year in 07. She died 3 years ago this week and seeing him always makes me think of her.

Approaching the quarter-of-an-hour mark and there's not been too much to shout about so far, Fabio Vieira firing over the closest we've had to something resembling a chance.

The latest corner is played short before Fabio Vieira fires well over from just inside the area.

That was a bit of a let off for Everton as their defenders stood off him to give him the space for a shot.

Dwight McNeil is caught hesitating on the ball and Martin Odegaard tries to put in Bukayo Saka, but Jarrad Branthwaite reads the danger well to stab behind for a corner.

Saka sends it deep and the ball is knocked behind again for corner number three for the Gunners.

Beto hasn't had much chance to make an impression on his home debut yet, with all the play behind him. Everton have barely got out of their own half.

Nice idea by Eddie Nketiah as he flicks the ball into the box with the back of his heel but Jarrad Branthwaite reads the danger well and knocks the ball back to Jordan Pickford.

Good start by the visitors, however, whose passing has been crisp and confident.

Chelsea

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi to PLP: "A little disappointed because I think we deserved to win. We created so many chances but we didn't score so the feeling is a little bit angry. If we keep going this way and if we score, the future will be good.

"The Bournemouth defenders did a very good job in their box, so it's about us. We need to work more, we need to be more dangerous in their box, we need to kill our opponent when we have the chance to do it. We have to work to keep going and stay positive.

"I think game by game we improve, we work a lot during the week.

"Game by game we feel better together. It's my first year here and game by game I feel better with my teammates."

On some boos at full-time from the away end: "We understand the fans because they want us to win every game. We are Chelsea, we are a great club, an ambitious club. We have to keep going and, together, we will get wins."

Dwight McNeil heads behind a cross and Arsenal have their first corner of the game, but Bukayo Saka's delivery is headed away powerfully by James Tarkowski.

Some nice early passing by Arsenal as they look to work a quick opportunity. Ashley Young does well to cut out an attack and then tries to set Arnaut Danjuma away but Declan Rice intercepts the pass.

Everton may not have won a game yet in the Premier League this season but the atmosphere is good inside Goodison as Arsenal get this game under way.

The players are out on the pitch and there's a minute's silence to remember those affected by the earthquake in Morocco and the flooding in Libya.

Chelsea

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi speaking to Sky Sports: "[I feel] a little bit angry because I think we deserved to win. We missed so many chances so that's why the feeling is a little bit bad but I think we saw good movement on the pitch, good action. We don't score so we have to improve on this case. I think it will come in."

On his personal performance: "I'm happy with my performance. We didn't concede a goal so it's good for the confidence. I tried to give my best to help the team. I think Robert in goal did a great job this afternoon.

"I just try to do my best for the team. I feel better and better on the pitch."

On why Chelsea have struggled to score: "I don't know. I think we don't have luck but we have to keep going. I'm sure the goals will be coming."

On if he understands the booing from some fans at the end of the game: "I understand. They want us to win every game because we are Chelsea, we are ambitious. We have to win every game and I understand. I can say just to keep going together and I think in the future it will be good for the club."

On the current belief in the team: "We believe, the coach and team are always positive. If we keep going in this way, it will be good."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola to BBC Sport: "I'm really happy with the performance. The game was quite level. Both teams had their chances. Overall, we had very good individual performances and finished the game even better. There were moments later on where we thought the game could be ours.

"The tendency of the game went to our side, especially from 75-90 minutes. We were pushing a lot and had most of the chances. We have to respect they hit the post in the first half and the free-kick, so both teams had their chances."

On Lewis Cook: "Lewis was amazing. He had a tough job covering Enzo (Fernandez), who is an amazing player. Without the ball he was very aggressive and on the ball he was very calm. Even at the end, he was overlapping like a winger. He showed great energy. It's very good news."

On Lloyd Kelly: "I had no doubt, he has been training really well. He performed really well in the centre-back position and he helped us see out the game at the left-back position."

On still being without his first Premier League victory: "Today was our best game, I would say overall. We still didn't score but we were close to beating a very, very good team like Chelsea. We have to continue but the plus three points is much more important. We have to keep pushing and believing in what we are doing."

Everton could lose four of their opening five games in a Premier League season for the third time, after 1994-95 and 2005-06.

They have lost five of their past six Premier League home fixtures, including both games this season by a 1-0 scoreline.

But they often fare well when Arsenal roll into town. The Gunners have lost four and drawn one of their last five matches at Goodison Park.

The big team news here is obviously David Raya taking over from Aaron Ramsdale in goal for Arsenal. This will be quite the test for Raya because last season, in Sean Dyche's first game as Everton manager, The Gunners were put through a severe physical and aerial examination, especially from set pieces, which resulted in James Tarkowski's winner.

Big day for Arsenal as they try to keep pace with Manchester City - and for Everton as they chase their first win of the season in the Premier League.

Chelsea

More from Pochettino, on if he felt he had enough options in the team: "What the numbers say in the end is that it wasn't enough. It's always about the game. We should win 1-0, 2-0 today easily because in the first 30 minutes we had the chances. If we didn't score and didn't win the game maybe you need to say to the people that it wasn't enough."

On Mykhailo Mudryk: "He is improving. He still needs to learn in the Premier League, it's very fast. He needs to understand the game better, try to be more connected sometimes with the team. We need to give the time and tools for him to improve during the season."

On Marc Cucurella's absence: "He was ill. He arrived yesterday before training with a fever."

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to Sky Sports: "I cannot say that I am happy but it was a very competitive game. I think we deserved more, we deserved to win. We created good chances and in the first half after 20, 30 minutes, we created many chances and didn't score.

"With 12 injuries and only three players that started today who were with us for these two weeks, I think I need only need to say it was a really good effort from the team."

On why they didn't convert their chances: "We need to be tough in the way that we are trying. We need to prove our efficiency in front of goal. We need to be calm also but these circumstances are not always easy for the players. We cannot blame anyone.

"In the last 10 minutes, our full-backs and some defensive players wanted to do the jobs of the offensive players. Sometimes we couldn't risk the point.

"I prefer that to being relaxed and calm. They care a lot about the game and situation. The effort was really good.

On the lack of numbers in the squad: "The fans are disappointed because of the situation but I am not worried about that because we really know what we are doing and when we start to have players that can be an impact from the bench and also be very competitive in every training session, with more numbers in the squad, it will be a team that will win many games."

Everton head into this game on the back of the news that they are set to have new owners after Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake to American investment fund 777 Partners.

The takeover would bring to an end the tumultuous tenure of British-Iranian Moshiri, who first invested in 2016.

The sale is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, subject to Premier League, Football Association and Financial Conduct Authority approval.

777 Partners is an investment platform based in Miami that has branched out into sports clubs over the past few years.

Football clubs it has invested in include Vasco de Gama in Brazil, Standard Liege in Belgium and Hertha Berlin of Germany, but it has faced protests from supporters about the way its clubs have been run.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth defender Max Aarons to Premier League Productions: "Coming straight off the game we're disappointed not to take all three points. They had some chances but I think we played our best game of the season so far. We can take a lot of positive from the game and it's what we now have to do every week."

On the improvement defensively: "We've been working on it, the manager did say over the international break we have to work on it because we know how good we are going forward. We have a young backline so it's about us gelling. You can start to see the real positive and everything is coming together defensively as well as in attack."

On keeping Mudryk and Sterling quiet: "You're coming up against top class players so it's about knowing who you're up again and their strengths. The manger wants us to be front foot and aggressive and that's what I tried to do. Players like Mudryk and Sterling are always a handful but we had a great game."
