Arsenal vs Bournemouth LIVE updates, team news and score from Premier League clash

Arsenal take on Bournemouth in what some are describing as the Gunners’ most important Premier League match for nearly 22 years. A win here would move the North London side 12 points clear of their title rivals, Manchester City.
