Afternoon all, and welcome to Bournemouth v Arsenal!

FGor all Bournemouth's decent play, they've not really created anything,and now Brooks is down after taking a whack in the back. He's quickly up though, and the game resumes.

Brooks backheels the free-kick for Fraser and Arsenal get it away ... but the whistle hadn't gone. So after a small row, Fraser plants it close to the post, and Leno parries behind. He gets a goalkick for that, but I'm not entirely certain why.

Daniels puts one forward and King gets to it before Sokratis, who eventually hauls him down just on the left edge of the box; he's booked.

I wonder if Emery prefers Aubameyang off the bench. He doesn't offer much in general play, as opposed to Lacazette, and his pace against tiring defences is very useful.

Mkhitaryan curls in the corner and Ake gets a flick which arrives at Aubameyang at the near post; he controls beautifully on his chest, beckpeddling, then lashes a shot over the bar. Arsenal are improving.

Kolasinac advances down the left and tries a cross that has Begovic tipping over.

Kolasinac barrels about the box, clearing space for Iwobi, who drags snapshot that Begovic saves easily at his near post.

Arsenal enjoy a spot of tepid possession but then find Iwobi down the left, and his cross is kicked away by Daniels.

Sokratis miskicks, but sending the ball spinning behind him, but Wilson can't quite catch up with it.

Daniels into Brooks, who runs onto the return and drills in a low cross; Sokratis sees it away, but Bournemouth are right on top here.

Wilson pulls right and finding himself boxed, drives a low cross into the nearest legs to win a corner. It's cleared by Xhaka and Aubameyang, who then goes too quickly for an out-ball to find him.

Fraser runs at Sokratis, who gets between him and the ball like a parent teasing his toddler.

Mustafi flies in and wins the ball off Fraser, then follows through to clatter the man. He gets a talking-to from the ref.

Arsenal have been a little bit better these last few minutes, but they're still ceding the midfield ground.

Fraser finds King down the left and he runs at Bellerin then crosses low; Mustafi clears.

But here come Arsnela, Torreira beating Gosling to the ball and bursting into the vacated space; with no one coming to meet him, he has a look and larrups a shot which crashes against the base of the post, on the bounce. Iwobi then swipes the rebound high.

Brooks runs at the Arsenal defence and finds King, who plays him back in; he finishes well, but went just too early and the flag goes up for offside.

Arsenal have barely strung two passes together thus far.

Bournemouth are finding space between and away from Arsenal's centre-backs without that much difficulty. Arsenal's line is pretty high, which is allowing King and Wilson to run in behind it.

Bournemouth look sharp. The understanding their attackers share is very evident.

Gosling finds King, in behind Holding, and he sprints down the right before overhitting his cross.
