Your support makes all the difference.Bournemouth host Arsenal in Sunday’s early kick-off – but the build-up to the match has been dominated by Alexis Sanchez.
The forward has not travelled with his team-mates to the south coast and is likely to complete a move to Manchester United in the coming hours, with City set to miss out on their man at the final hurdle.
Arsenal will still be expected to beat Bournemouth even without him in their starting XI and a win for the Gunners will take them a point behind north London rivals Tottenham. Bournemouth are meanwhile hoping to climb as high as 13th with a win.
