Team news

But the Bournemouth manager would have been delighted to get some minutes in the tank for summer signing Marcos Sensei despite being on the end of a 4-0 hammering by Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was able to give Emile Smith-Rowe and Takehiro Tomiyasu their first Premier League run-outs of the season.
