Daniels gets free on the left and cleverly pulls it back to Ibe who is in plenty of space in the box, but his touch is heavy and Arsenal clear.
Unlucky!
Lys Mousset is warming up now to and set to come on...
66: Cherries starting to press...
We had a good little spell around the Arsenal box momentarily.
We're looking a bit sharper in the final third.
Arsenal make a change, it's Coquelin on for Ramsey, maybe to combat our recent surge.
60: A change of system...
Franno takes a note from JT and we've changed system now.
We've gone to a back four, with Ake pushing into midfield with Gosling and Arter.
Ibe and King remain out wide with Defoe up top.
55: Chance for Arsenal...
We're very deep.
A ball gets threaded into Welbeck who looks to go one-on-one but Francis does well to get in the way and clear.
GOAL for Arsenal.
Moments after hitting the post, it's 3-0.
Ramsey slips in Welbeck who gets into the area and hits a firm left-footed finish into the bottom right corner.
It's a good finish right into the corner.
48: OFF THE POST!!
Francis and Ibe combine down the left and Defoe heads it excellently but it's off the post!!
So unlucky... great start to the second-half!!
46: Back underway...
Francis is on for Mings and Cook will play as the middle of the back three, Ake left and Franno right.
No change to the system.
45: Sub for the Cherries...
Franno is on and takes the armband.
Mings has gone off.
We're awaiting the whistle...
HALF TIME
A frustrating half for the lads.
We're 2-0 down, Welbeck scored early when it came off his shoulder, while Lacazette planted one in the top corner.
We're struggled so far, but lets hope Eddie has some motivational words to help get us back in the game!
44: We've been a little deep...
Joshua King has had 17 touches so far, the most of our players.
JD has had seven so far - the weather has also taken a turn for the worst here in London.
Let's get to half-time and regroup!
41: Great block...
A sweeping Arsenal move allows Ozil to volley unmarked at the back post, he smashes one which looks like a certain goal but Smithy gets a leg on it to block.
Top block!
39: Our first sub...
We've been forced into an early sub. Ibe is on for Fraser, who appears to have a knock.#ARSBOU 🔴 2-0 🍒 (39) pic.twitter.com/5EIII5Ysz0
Welbeck chases down Begovic's kick and gets there, Lacazette looks set to score a certain goal but the stopper gets down low to thwart him from close range.
That is a fabulous save.
31: The corner from the previous post...
Went short, and was cleared by Arsenal.
King is back on however after catching that stray boot from Monreal.
30: Threatening...
King skins Monreal on the right and made his way to the penalty area, before catching a boot from Monreal, unintentionally, in the face, and we have a corner...
GOAL for Arsenal.
It's 2-0 now, Lacazette picks the ball up outside the area and curls an unstoppable effort into the top corner.
Unfortunately, Begovic had no chance.
Pictured...
It's close at the moment.
Arsenal probably are having the better of it but again, they haven't outclassed us of yet.
The manager has just given some stern instructions on the touchline to Harry Arter too.
18: Another chance for Arsenal...
Lacazette tees up Xhaka 25-yards out and he curls it again but it flies over. Dangerous area again, we're not getting much joy on the ball as it stands.
16: Top save!
Ozil curls a free-kick from 20-yards and it's deadly accurate, but Begovic flings himself at it and makes an excellent stop to his right!
Really good - and crucial - save, that.
14: Touchline...
Both Eddie and Arsene Wenger are perched right on the edge of their own technical area, keeping a firm eye on the game.
12: Save!
Xhaka whacks one from distance and it curls but Begovic is on hand to parry it away.
Fairly comfortable for Begovic but safety first.
10: Not the best of starts...
We're a goal down and don't look like ourselves at the moment.
But by no means have we been outclassed in this opening period. We've probably had more of the ball.
GOAL for Arsenal.
Kolasinac gets to the byline and dinks in a cross which Welbeck meets in the middle - it hits his shoulder and goes in. Slightly fortunate but we're 1-0 down.
5: First real intent...
Ozil slipped Bellerin in behind Daniels but out left-back made an excellent recovery to slide and nick the ball in a dangerous area.
First moment of any danger around the box for either side.
01: We're underway...
Come on lads! We'll be attacking away from our fans in this first half.
JD kicks off to start our fourth Premier League game of the campaign.
The teams...
Are out! Lead out by Steve Cook, we're looking class in our new away gear.
Lets hope we can give the Cherries fans in front of us something to celebrate today!
💬 "It's a big game for both teams. We played well last time out and want to build on that performance against Manchester City." #afcb 🍒 pic.twitter.com/DxDvtezFPN
We haven't beaten Arsenal in five meetings with them across our history.
The four games in the Premier League have been close, but we've been edged out on three of those occasions, with the other being the crazy 3-3 draw in January last year.
Lets hope its a good omen for us, the team wearing it will be announced here at 2pm.
What can we expect from Arsenal today...
Arsenal head into the game having kept Alexis Sanchez in an eventful transfer deadline day, and we spoke to Goal.com's Arsenal correspondent Chris Wheatley who said this of the Gunners...
"Arsenal fans are really upset with the way that the season has gone.
"Alexis Sanchez was also told that he could go if they secured a world-class replacement for him but, if he is involved in the game, he’ll be back in form and showing that of last season throughout the match."
Welcome!
To the Emirates Stadium!
We're live at the game today as the Cherries make the trip to Arsenal.
A confident mood in the camp despite not yet picking up a point, but what a place it would be to get off the mark today!
Commentary By @afcbournemouth
FULL TIME
That's it. We've been beaten 3-0 here at the Emirates.
The Cherries fans give the players an ovation at the end though, nice to see.
Next week is huge! Thanks for following, full reaction will be on the website across the evening.
89: Save!
Ibe hangs up a cross and it reaches King at the back post and his header is going in but for an acrobatic stop from Cech. It's a really good save.
88: Dangerous!
Great cross from Daniels and it's so close to reaching Mousset in the middle who rose high but couldn't quite get there!
85: Effort!
Mousset spins and cuts inside, before hitting a low effort which Cech comfortably saves.
Cherries fans cheer like it's a goal!

Is injured and walks straight down the tunnel. Arsenal down to ten men for the remainder.
78: Save!
Begovic again.
Giroud got in on the left and smashed an effort which was high, but Begovic got a firm fist on to tip away.

Louie thinks we'll get a point...
Love that, Tim!
Let's have some predictions...
Well said JD!
Warm ups...
Both sides are out and the sunshine has come with them.
The Cherries look very sharp in the passing drill, while Asmir Begovic is being worked by Neil Moss, Aaron Ramsdale and Artur Boruc.
A glorious day for it!
The stage is set...
The players are out for the warm up at the Emirates.
The pitch, as you'd expect, looks like a carpet, excellent for us!
A word from the boss...
In his pre-match interview, Eddie Howe had this to say:
"We're hoping to play with pace and creativity. We were pleased with the performance last time out and we want to build on that."
Looks like we'll have a go!
One to watch...
Much maligned, but there's no disputing Ozil's class.
The German looked a real threat during Germany's 2-1 win over Czech Republic and scored in the 6-0 win against Joshua King's Norway.
He recently posted on Instagram that 'It's a must win game,' so he'll be up for today.
Who will we face...
Team news...
Team news is in! There's one change from our last outing against Man City.
XI: Begovic; A Smith, S Cook, Ake, Mings, Daniels; Arter, Gosling; Fraser, Defoe, King.
Subs: Boruc, Francis, Surman, L Cook, Pugh, Ibe, Mousset.
Keep up to date on our social channels...
Previous meetings...
We haven't beaten Arsenal in five meetings with them across our history.
The four games in the Premier League have been close, but we've been edged out on three of those occasions, with the other being the crazy 3-3 draw in January last year.
We'll be backed by...
A debut today...
For our blue kit!
Lets hope its a good omen for us, the team wearing it will be announced here at 2pm.
