Last season’s drama

When Bournemouth visited the Emirates last season it threw up one of the moments of the campaign.

Arsenal had fallen two goals behind the Cherries and saw their season dangling by a thread.

Second half goals from Thomas Partey and Ben White levelled the scores before a dramatic finish saw Reiss Nelson score with virtually thew last kick of the game to make the score 3-2.

The 97th minute winner kept Arsenal in the title race before they slipped further down the road.

Will we saw even more late drama today?

Last meeting

Arsenal breezed past Bournemouth in the reverse fixture of this game earlier in the season, pulling off a 4-0 win back in September.

Fans will remember that Kai Havertz was given the chance to take a penalty to get his first Arsenal goal under his belt after a turbulent start to life in north London.

Things have changed since that day with the German now one of the Gunners’ most in form players.

Today’s benches

Here’s a look at the options available off the bench for both managers this afternoon…

Arsenal: Ramsdale, Jesus, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Nketiah, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Zinchenko.
