    But here's the danger for Sheffield United - they have to go from attack to defence in the blink of eye.

    The free-kick from Gustavo Hamer is too close to David Raya and the Arsenal keeper springs Gabriel Martinelli off on the counter.

    The Brazilian has got the legs on Jayden Bogle - no shame there as the same applies to 99% of the Premier League - but the visitors regroup well to squeeze out Martinelli and Bukayo Saka when the ball breaks to him.

    Has to score!

    Marcus Tavernier is found in all the space he needs at the back post by a ball across the face of goal from Antoine Semenyo. He just has to tap the ball home but instead hits his effort into the turf and over the bar.

    A massive moment for the Cherries.

    The rain is falling and the wind is whipping around the Vitality. It's not making this greatest spectacle. Bournemouth are looking for a way back in to the game but Burnley are being stubborn.

    Luke Thomas seems like an astute signing for Sheffield United.

    The on-loan Leicester left-back shows super anticipation to cut out a pass intended for Bukayo Saka and races forward, winning a free-kick in the Arsenal half in a promising position.

    Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom applauds what he sees.

    The adjustment between the Championship last year and the Premier League so far this season has been very tough for Sheffield United.

    The gulf in class between teams of each level has been difficult for them, the signs don't look too promising for them.

    Does this count as an attempted shot at target? Please no.

    Sheffield United's Gustavo Hamer goes for a spectacular effort from the halfway line but it dribbles out, only just, for a goal-kick near the corner flag.

    All eyes on how Bournemouth respond now.

    They needed to give everyone a lift here, to make people believe they can get out of the mess their early-season form has created.

    Sheffield United have protected their goal well but their organisation will be tested as Arsenal send the big boys up from the back for a corner.

    One of them, Jakub Kiwior, tries to fling himself at the delivery from Gabriel Martinelli but can't quite reach it.

    Charlie Taylor

    Oh, what a hit!

    Charlie Taylor doesn't score goals, but when you see this you wonder why? A Clarets corner is half cleared and the full-back is found on the edge of the box for a lashed shot he sends past Andrei Radu.

    It's his first goal for Burnley, who he joined in 2017. His last goal came for Leeds against MK Dons in 2015.

    Arsenal 0-0 Sheffield Utd

    All Arsenal in the opening 10 minutes, as you would expect.

    The Gunners have bossed possession, almost 80% of it in fact, while Sheffield United have managed just eight touches in the home half.

    That number increases when Gustavo Hamer, a summer signing from Coventry, tries to make nuisance of himself in the Arsenal third, but the home defence closes the door quickly.

    Re 14.57 as a Blades fan it would be very harsh if Hecky went. Done a great job. Better to keep him and hope for a resolution to the ownership mess and for a good campaign next season.

    Straight away in this game you can see that Arsenal are getting plenty of space on the flanks.

    Saka and Martinelli have already had a few opportunities each to go one versus one against their fullbacks. Sheffield United need to make sure to double up in those areas or it could be a long afternoon.

    The ball almost breaks for Kai Havertz in the box, but a quick-thinking lunge from Jack Robinson stops the Arsenal player getting a shot in.

    If he had then the Gunners would probably have been ahead.

    A reference for the 80s kids there.

    He's seen plenty of the ball in the opening stages as Arsenal look to their full-backs to start their attacks.

    Arsenal have uncharacteristically made four changes in their first home game since beating champions Manchester City before the international break.

    A different approach needed here today against one of the favourites for the drop.

    Arsenal straight into their stride, on the front foot and dominating the ball.

    Having two world class goalkeepers in the same squad was always going to be a problem. Both offer different abilities, but at a club like Arsenal, you need one or the other. This could shape up to be a rather embarrassing public Punch and Judy show for Arteta if he's not careful. I have great respect for him, but he and Arsenal need to manage this situation carefully.

    The Cherries are almost in early on as Philip Billing nicks the ball off a Burnley man and charges forward. His pass to Dominic Solanke allows Dara O'Shea to make a tackle and end the attack, though.

    Bournemouth owner Bill Foley has flown in for this game. The club have described it as a "routine visit". It wouldn't have anything to do with them having gone their first nine games without a win then?
