Jurrien Timber latest - Arsenal injury news and return dates for Bournemouth clash

Occupying the lunchtime slot in this Saturday's Premier League action, Arsenal welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates Stadium just over a year on from their pulsating 3-2 comeback success over the Cherries.

Mikel Arteta's men appropriately bested North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur by the same scoreline on Sunday afternoon, although they were the ones who had to stave off a Spurs fightback after entering the half-time break with a 3-0 lead.

By earning the bragging rights over their bitter adversaries, the Gunners remain one point clear at the top of the division, but Manchester City still have a game in hand and therefore remain in control of the title race.
