Arteta calls for Arsenal stars to show passion and enthusiasm in 'most beautiful part of the season’

Substitute Justin Kluivert bagged a late winner as Bournemouth beat shot-shy Crystal Palace 1-0 to claim a third straight win and fourth in five matches.

The game was played in torrential rain and swirling winds, which made it difficult for either side to get the ball down and play.

Palace thought they had taken the lead in first-half stoppage time when Eberechi Eze fired home at the far post via a deflection but their celebrations were cut short after a VAR review deemed Mateta was just offside in the build-up to the goal.

Palace’s stubborn resistance was finally broken in the 79th minute when Semenyo got the better of David Ozoh down the right wing before cutting the ball back for fellow substitute Kluivert to rifle home from 12 yards.

As for Palace, Sam Johnstone, Cheick Doucoure, Rob Holding, Marc Guehi, Matheus Franca and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi will again be on the sidelines through injury, while the match has come too soon for Michael Olise, but the attacker is close to making his return. Joel Ward is making his 300th appearance for Crystal Palace this evening and will provide that valuable experience beside the excellent Adam Wharton, a player that has excelled since coming into the side from Blackburn Rovers in January, and he will again feature in the middle of the park.

Bournemouth will again be without the services of Ryan Fredericks, Luis Sinisterra and Marcos Senesi for the contest due to injury problems, while Ryan Christie remains unavailable due to a knock. The Cherries did not pick up any fresh fitness issues against Everton. But there is change at left-back, as Lloyd Kelly provided the assist for Solanke to make the breakthrough on Saturday, has now come into the side.

Crystal Palace are in contrasting form to their hosts as they are winless in their last three games. Oliver Glasner seemingly had an immediate impact when he joined the club in late February, guiding the Eagles to a 3-0 victory over Burnley in his first match, but the Austrian has failed to win with the London club and will be hoping their fortunes change tonight with a victory over Bournemouth before they face Manchester City and Liverpool in their next two fixtures after tonight.

Bournemouth will enter the game at the Vitality Stadium full of confidence as they look to extend their unbeaten run to five games. The Cherries will be confident of their Premier League status following their 2-1 win at the weekend against relegation candidates Everton. And having won the reverse fixture 2-0 at Selhurst Park, Andoni Iraola will be looking to lead his Bournemouth side to a league double over the Eagles.
