    Why would we relegate four to promote four teams.... especially when three of the current top four in the Championship did so so poorly in the PL last season?!

    Re: Ian at 16:04 - Top-four shuffles at this stage are all well and good, but don't forget that City's usual 23-game unbeaten run is still to come.

    Dean, Dronfield

    Bharat, why on earth would you want that? You really want to get relegated two seasons in a row?

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Sander Berge is on to add some muscle to Burnley's midfield, replacing Josh Cullen.

    Bournemouth continue to press for the lead, but Marcus Tavernier is caught offside as he is found on the left for a volleyed cross.

    Just listen to that reception for Eddie Nketiah, and rightly so!

    This goal is all about the movement, he just steps off the defender Trusty, clears the ball out of his feet and smashes it in from 25 yards.

    Wow! A quite brilliant strike, the keeper had no chance of saving that.

  4. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    James Trafford comes out to try and gather a bouncing ball in the box.

    He fails to get there first time, with Dominic Solanke collateral damage. The Cherries striker goes to ground after contact with Trafford then gathering at the second attempt.

    Bournemouth want a penalty, but Solanke did as much to foul Trafford as the other way round.

  5. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Marcus Tavernier fires the free-kick to the near post for Antoine Semenyo to turn and fire an angled shot that James Trafford blocks with his chest.

    GOAL - Arsenal 3-0 Sheff Utd

    Eddie Nketiah (58 mins)

    WOW!

    NASA would be happy be with this strike from Eddie Nketiah... it's an absolute rocket.

    With little danger, Nketiah picks up the ball from Emile Smith Rowe about 25 yards out, takes a touch to turn under no pressure and blasts in to the top corner.

    A stunned gasp goes around the Emirates - few expected that to happen.

  7. Arsenal 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Now you're starting to fear for Sheffield United. We saw how they capitulated against Newcastle United...

  8. YELLOW CARD

    Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    A nailed on yellow card for Charlie Taylor.

    Marcus Tavernier beats him down the right byline and he wrestles him to the ground with two arms across his chest and shoulders.

  9. 'Goalkeepers are a protected species'

    Arsenal 2-0 Sheffield United

    Chris Sutton
    Former Chelsea striker on Final Score

    Your goalkeeper has to do much better than that. He's looking for the foul because goalkeepers are a protected species.

    That's weak goalkeeping.

    Sheffield United, I said they're down - nothing tells me watching this afternoon that they have anything near enough to stay in the Premier League.

    Sulaimon: One thing about Eddie Nkietah is that when Gabriel Jesus is absent and he is a very dependable replacement. Just the goal Arsenal needed for comfort

  11. Goal stands

    Arsenal 2-0 Sheff Utd

    There is the customary VAR check - not sure why - before Arsenal are certain they have doubled their lead.

    It was quite clear Ben White had stood his ground and Foderingham had simply made a hash of his attempted clearance.

    A waste of time really, but eventually the game kicks off again with Arsenal even closer to the three points.

  12. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Ryan Christie fires a ball over the top for Dominic Solanke, who gets his head to the ball but it doesn't come down quickly enough for him to sneak it past the charging James Trafford.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Arsenal 2-0 Sheff Utd

    Eddie Nketiah

    Eddie Nketiah scores second goal for ArsenalGetty Images

    That man again! How Eddie Nketiah is taking the opportunity given to him because of Gabriel Jesus' injury.

    The Arsenal striker slams in a half-volley from inside the six-yard box after Wes Foderingham flaps at the corner by Bukayo Saka from the right.

    The Blades keeper reckons he is impeded by Ben White as he tried to punch clear...

  14. Arsenal 1-0 Sheff Utd

    Free-kick for Arsenal in a promising position.

    Emile Smith Rowe thinks quickly as he looks to set Eddie Nketiah free in the area, but the Sheffield United players eventually react and concede a corner.

    Danger not over...

  15. 'Arsenal are trying score like they would in training'

    Arsenal 1-0 Sheffield United

    Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on Final Score

    Arsenal's quality in the middle of the third has been great, the final third... they are trying to score goals like you would on the training ground. Pass, pass, tap it in the back of the net.

    I think they need to be better in the final third but keeping the ball is their forte.

  16. Arsenal 1-0 Sheff Utd

    Not sure many of us would put our last pound on anything other than an Arsenal win this afternoon.

    The Gunners have started sharply in the second half, showing no signs of any danger of switching off.

    Mikel Arteta would not allow it, of course.

  17. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Marcus Tavernier has an early chance to deliver for Bournemouth with a free-kick on the right. He whips it in and James Trafford punches away.

    Tavernier then gets a chance to shoot soon after but fires his effort straight at the Clarets keeper.

    Loving the top four shuffles this season. If Arsenal win today and Liverpool and Villa also achieve (likely) home victories tomorrow, Man City will be starting the Manchester derby sitting outside the top 4 - and will stay there with anything other than a win.

    Iain, Wolverhampton

    This is the game that Smith Rowe and Havertz have been waiting for to show Mikel what they can do - neither have done enough in that first half

  19. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Chris Wise
    BBC Radio 5 Live commentator at Vitality Stadium

    Positives for both Bournemouth and Burnley, but have really been impressed by Antoine Semenyo. Fully deserved his goal, and it was a super finish too. He’s been lively and creative. Bournemouth have missed a bit of that in recent weeks.

  20. Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley

    Burnley have made a change at the break. Zeki Amdouni is replaced by Jay Rodriguez, who has scored five Premier League goals against Bournemouth, four of them at the Vitality.
