Afternoon all, and welcome to Bournemouth v Arsenal!

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

Mkhitaryan picks up a loose ball and drives forward, assessing options and driving a low shot that Cook blocks at source.

Straight away, Daniels hits Wilson, who flicks down for King. Holding gets in the road, but already it looks like this'll be a testing afternoon for the Arsenal centre-backs.

Away we go!

There's a cochlea-perforating atmosphere at the Vitality ... ok, no there isn't. But this should be a good game anyway.

Out they come!

Another Bournemouth player I really like is Nathan Ake. I wonder if he's quite tall enough to get to the very top, but if he continues improving he'll have more than enough else.

Emery says his three at the back is 30% for Bournemouth and 70% for Arsenal.

Eddie Howe says his team are keen to get back to a good performance after two losses - they didn't get going at Newcastle. He's pleased to have King back, who gives them pace on the counter and thinks the differences between Wenger's Arsenal and Emery's Arsenal are subtle, but they're different in defence.

Strong nickname game.

Jermain Defoe, Jordon Ibe and Callum Wilson are with Alex Scott; they are really enjoying themselves. Defoe says that Eddie Howe's attention to detail is remarkable - though I doubt compares to Harry Redknapp's.

As for Arsenal, this is one of the many games from which I'd expect Henrikh Mkhitaryan to disappear. I imagine he's playing ahead of Ozil partly because Emery has set his team up to defend and counter - they'll not be bossing this in midfield.

I'm really looking forward to seeing David Brooks today, who looks a real talent. He'll start on the right, I imagine, but when he starts drifting is when he'll be at his most dangerous. With just Sead Kolasinac defending that flank, I'd expect Bournemouth to find joy on that side, and if I was betting on this, which I am, I'd stick my pennies on both teams to score and more than 2.5 goals.

on the other hand, with three centre-backs, plus Torereira and Xhaka in front of them, it won't be easy to get through the middle. My guess is that Bournemouth will look to get the ball wide and put crosses into what will be a crowded box.

Both sides have a good opportunity today. With Chelsea losing and Manchester United drawing, they can gain ground and widen gaps. I think it'll be hard for Arsenal though - that defence is not at all good, and Bournemouth have the players to have a go at it.

Gosh, the Wolves dressing room has football pitch carpet. It's a bit odd. Keith Andrews and Jamie Redknapp are in it - hopefully the former will do all the talking.

Exciting! He's got the key ...he's got the armbaaaand.

These trainers.

Hmmm - Fraser and Wilson, sure, but the others are not the key players in this team. I wonder how far Eddie Howe can go, though.
