To the Emirates, where a win for league leaders Arsenal will move them 12 points clear of Manchester City for a day at least, albeit having played two games more and with a mouthwatering clash between the two sides slated for next weekend. Today’s match against Bournemouth is Arsenal’s first League match in almost a month and they come into it on the back of a creditable but workmanlike away win against Sporting in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League.

The stalemate specialists from the south coast arrive at the Emirates on the back of five consecutive top flight draws (out of 15 so far this season), the most recent coming against Manchester United at the Vitality Stadium. In 13th place, with their head coach’s future clouded with uncertainty, Bournemouth remain in contention for European qualification, despite their mid-table position. Kick-off at the Emirates is at 12.30pm (BST) but we’ll have team news and build-up in the meantime.
