Hello and welcome to LIVE text coverage of the Premier League meeting between Arsenal and Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are on an 18-match unbeaten run and will be aiming to close the gap on leaders Chelsea to three points. Bournemouth arrive in the capital on the back of their first away win in the league at Stoke, and hoping for a surprise victory that would move them into the top eight. They will have to do without Jack Wilshere, however, as the England midfielder is ineligible for the match with his parent club. Kick off 2.15pm GMT.

End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FT: Arsenal 3-1 Bournemouth. Sanchez's double and a Walcott header move the Gunners back to within three points of top spot and secure a first win in four. It's also a first league success in November, the month they are said to struggle historically in terms of results. Wilson's penalty had levelled for the Cherries who played well for long periods.
