Kaya KaynakTom Canton and Updates to follow…

Nwaneri has finished his contribution, very bright and enjoyable performance. Jimi Gower comes on for him.

Lovely ball by Odegaard again to Trossard on the left. He cuts inside and fires a low shot which Neto manages to stop and Bournemouth clear.

Josh Nichols, an exciting young full-back, comes on for Ben White. Great moment for him.

Odegaard has been unreal since coming on. A great touch and then backheel to White who tries a cross but it is cleared.

Sagoe Jr then looks through on goal but is brought down. Referee says nothing doing.

Rekik has gifted a goal to Bournemouth, he has been very poor since coming on.

Losing the ball in the defensive third. Semenyo strike deflects and Zinchenko's touch loops it over Hein.

Great strike by Odegaard, whipped across the keeper. Neto parries out for a corner.

Jesus is bundled over unnecessarily by Cook and a little scuffle breaks out. The Bournemouth defender is booked and a free-kick in a good position for Arsenal arrives.

Hein has saved Arsenal's lead here. Brilliant flick passes Rekik and Ouattara is in and can finesse but the Estonian is equal to it.

Jorginho, Zinchenko, Jesus, Rekik, Kiwior have come off.

Partey, Timber, Vieira, Lewis-Skelly and Heaven are off.

Sagoe Jr has also come on too. Nketiah making way. Trossard also on for Nelson.

Striking a frustrated figure now. Hein watches as the striker fires another sighter over the bar.

Ouattara then gets in behind down the right, fires in a cross which Vieira does well to clear.

The one change has meant not a huge change in the run of the game so far. A great touch to play in Partey has already been seen and then a chance follows but Odegaard's cross is deflected into Neto's hands.

Trying to spot the changes here. Martin Odegaard has definitely come on here.

Looks like just the one change with Salah Oulad M'Hand coming off which will raise the level significantly.

A good half of pre-season action here. The Gunners are the better side but Bournemouth have had chances.

Fabio Vieira with the only goal of the game so far. A great volley but Nelson has stolen the show with both his assists and the driving runs. Some great pieces of skill and perhaps a reminder to Arsenal who they might be losing after reported talks with Leicester City have begun over a summer move.

Another chance for Nketiah who cuts inside to the middle of the box and then tries a low shot to the right corner. However it is comfortable for Neto who dives low and denies the centre-forward.

Brilliant from Nelson in the corner. Oulad M'Hand and the winger combine and Arsenal's winger nutmegs his opponent before starting a counterattack that's sadly led to very little.

Such great confidence and execution of the moment.

Solanke cannot find the target having turned the Arsenal defender with ease. Too many touches again from the Arsenal defenders and they are nearly punished... he had to score.

Another good chance for the opposition. Faivre gets it on to his left foot but fires wide of the goal.

Great finish from Fabio Vieira! Cross from the left as Nelson bursts down the flank again, falls at his feet at a nice height and he volleys past Neto.

Nelson and Nketiah combine. Nelson feeds the forward into space, he tries the cut-back, Zabarnyi slides in and the forward goes down. Nothing really in it though.

Faivre closes down Partey and wins the ball, feeding Solanke. The forward however blazes his striker over the ball, something of a let-off there.

Arsenal then come up the other end with a free-kick. Vieira fires it into the box but the Cherries deal with it.

Arsenal cannot quite get the ball into the right areas at the moment. Bournemouth working hard to keep the ball and press the Gunners when out of possession. They have seven starters from their last Premier League match compared to the Gunners' two.

Brilliant from Nwaneri on the right, cutting inside and reverses a pass through to Nketiah. Zabarnyi slides in on the striker and the shot is deflected for a corner.

Neto struggles to collect and Arsenal nearly get a header as White causes problems for the Brazilian keeper.

A small early chance for Nelson to run down the left flank and put in a cross. Vieira at the back post but the header cannot redirect the ball to a teammate.

A controlled opening from the Gunners as they look to try and keep the ball and work it into the open spaces.

Zabarnya brings down Nketiah. Some good early movement from Arsenal and the intensity is good for a pre-season game.

00 - Here we go! Looking forward to watching the likes of Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly here, the latter of whom has been chosen at left-back and we assume will play an inverted role similar to Zinchenko.

Tom Canton here to help bring you coverage of this clash between Arsenal and Bournemouth in pre-season. You gain the respect for our watches and readers from around the world who get up at silly o'clock every single week, sometimes twice a week to watch the Arsenal.

I salute you!

For those who love those spot kicks, you are in luck! There will be a shootout at the end no matter the result in today's game.

Emile Smith Rowe has been heavily linked with a move away but he's on the bench for Arsenal tonight.
