Arsenal vs Bournemouth LIVE: Premier League latest updates as Declan Rice scores third in added time

The teams are in the tunnel. Bournemouth hunting an even more impressive end to the season, Arsenal hunting what could turn out to be a first Premier League title in 20 years.

The Gunners can do no more than win their last three games, and even then they may still lose the title by two points if City can win their last four. But that won’t be on the mind of Arteta and his players at the moment – they need to get through this potentially tough test first.

Just over 10 minutes until kick-off. Arsenal need a win to keep pressure on Manchester City, who play later today at 5.30pm. The defending champions host Wolves, and may be four points behind the Gunners (with a game in hand) if Mikel Arteta’s side can get the win today.

Bournemouth have just secured their highest Premier League points tally in the last week, but despite their impressive form, you wouldn’t bet against a home win today.

A reminder that last year’s fixture produced one of Arsenal’s most dramatic results of the season, with a 97th-minute Reiss Nelson winner capping a dramatic comeback from 2-0 down.

Just 15 minutes until kick-off now, and a reminder of how you can watch today’s early kick-off.

The game is due to kick off at 12.30pm BST at the Emirates Stadium, and viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 1. Subscribers can stream the action via discovery+.

A lovely day in the capital.

Bournemouth came close to denting Arsenal’s title ambitions last season, racing into a 2-0 lead at the Emirates Stadium, only for a 97th-minute Reiss Nelson goal to cap a remarkable second-half fightback by the Gunners.

Arteta and co will be keen to avoid a repeat of that nerve-shredding encounter and his team have shown enough control in matches over the course of the season to suggest they can secure a less dramatic victory.

This season, no side has kept more clean sheets than Arsenal (16), five of which have come in the last seven games. However, in their most recent outing at Tottenham, they did show some signs of vulnerability.

The home side are priced at 2/9 to get the win, while a draw is offered at 13/2. Despite Bournemouth’s impressive campaign, the Cherries are ranked at 14/1 to come away with a win.

As for title odds, Manchester City are still favourites at 4/9, with Arsenal priced at 2/1.

Bournemouth have made changes however, bringing Zabarnyi and Christie into their starting line up.

Bournemouth XI: Travers, Smith, Senesi, Zabarnyi, Ouattara, Cook, Scott, Christie, Kluivert, Semnyo, Solanke.

Subs: Neto, Mckenna, Faivre, Hill, Unal, Billing, Aarons, Kinsey, Sadi.

Arsenal have named an unchanged side, unsurprisingly, from their win over Tottenham in the north London derby last week.

Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Rice, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Havertz

Subs: Ramsdale, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Nketiah, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieria, Zinchenko.
