As you know, Liverpool played their Week 26 game before Manchester City and Arsenal because of tomorrow's EFL Cup final just across the way at Wembley.

The shift of gear against Luton allowed them to open up a four-point gap, which has just been reduced by City at Bournemouth.

Over to Arsenal then to see if they can keep pace...

The Emirates is glowing as the television cameras pan out for the aerial view, with the bright lights of central London flickering in the background.

Home fans are streaming into the stadium, no doubt buzzing with excitement as Arsenal look to close the gap on the top two.

Cheers Gaz!

Not too often we have a Saturday night game in the Premier League but here we are.

Move over Michael McIntyre. We're at the wheel for the best part of the night.

Right, stick around for reaction to that result but I'll hand over to Jonathan Jurejko to build up to Arsenal versus Newcastle.

Pep Guardiola hardly looks delighted as he goes over to applaud the travelling fans but no doubt he will just be relieved that his side took three important points, despite not being at their best.

Manchester City fend off the late Bournemouth pressure to take all three points.

It wasn't a pretty display but they got the job done to move to within a point of leaders Liverpool.

Kevin de Bruyne is booked as he kicks the ball away.

Dominic Solanke tries his luck with an overhead but it goes well wide.

That will likely be that.

Into the final minute.

Manchester City have rode their luck at times but it looks like they've done just enough.

They're still so in this game! It was a wonderful bit of play, good ball into the box and you just think that was the moment for the substitute to score but he puts his header wide of the post.

So frustrating for the home supporters.

Oh everyone in the ground thinks it is 1-1!

Enes Unal is up to meet a cross. It is a free header and it has the net rippling, but it is the wrong side of the sidenetting as far as Bournemouth are concerned.

Was that their last big chance?

The 90 minutes are up and we are into the first of six minutes of time added on.

Time is running out for the hosts.

Bournemouth are going for it with some attacking changes. Luis Sinisterra and Enes Unal are on for Ryan Christie and Milos Kerkez.

Neto theatrically punches away a Kevin de Bruyne free-kick. Bournemouth then break but Bernardo Silva brings down Antoine Semenyo. Silva is booked as a result but it stopped the hosts countering.

Bournemouth have to maintain this kind of shake-up of City, keep getting in amongst them, keep the supporters with them for this last ten minutes plus any added time

They can't let City get into their pattern of passing the ball around and dominating the game.

Dango Ouattara shows good footwork to open up some space in the box but drags his shot wide.

Another chance wasted by Bournemouth.

Pep Guardiola turns to Kevin de Bruyne to try and inspire his side to a second goal. He's on for Mateo Kovacic.

Six minutes to go and Bournemouth will be disappointed now if they lose it.

They've been very good in this second half but wasteful in the final third and Dango Ouattara wastes their latest opportunity with a bad cross from a strong position.
