Follow live coverage as Arsenal face AFC Bournemouth today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Arsenal vs AFC Bournemouth

The point for Bournemouth - as things stand - could change quite a bit in midtable, with the Cherries jumping ahead of both Fulham and Brighton (who play tomorrow) into eighth position. The Seagulls, as well as Brentford, have the opportunity to go back ahead of Iraola’s side with results on Sunday, though a tie at the Emirates will ensure things remain tight.

Odegaard has the time to take a touch before shooting from 20 yards away but the captain takes a little too long setting himself, which prompts Cook to step forward and press. Hoping to keep the move going, the Arsenal captain looks to step past his opponent but he trips on the ball clumsily and gives Bournemouth the chance to clear.
