Bournemouth vs Arsenal LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Arsenal travel down to Bournemouth in the Premier League later today eager to get back to winning ways. While the Gunners are so far unbeaten, two draws have allowed Manchester City to open up a gap at the top of the division, albeit a small one. Still, such are the demands the champions have set, dropping many more points could prove fatal.
Mikel Arteta is missing a raft of first-team players for the game. Both Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are doubts, along with William Saliba, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. Now more than ever, Arteta needs his squad players to step up, particularly with a Champions League game just around the corner.
The Cherries, meanwhile, have shown promising signs under Andoni Iraola but remain without a win in the Premier League. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Simon Collings will be providing expert analysis from the ground.

Mikel Arteta hails Aaron Ramsdale for ‘exceptional’ response to David Raya competition at Arsenal
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has praised Aaron Ramsdale for his “exceptional” character after losing his place to David Raya.
Ramsdale had been Arsenal’s No1 since joining the club in 2021, but Raya has overtaken him after arriving on loan from Brentford this summer.
The Spaniard has started the last three games in the Champions League and Premier League, but Ramsdale was handed a rare start in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday at Brentford.
The England international excelled, keeping a clean sheet as the Gunners booked a spot in the fourth round with a 1-0 win, and Arteta has hailed his attitude.
“He’s been exceptional around the place with the situation. Like everybody,” he said.
