Everything you need to know ahead of the return to Premier League action

Leaders Arsenal return to Premier League action after a turbulent couple of weeks: before the competition’s most recent break they were still in a hunt for a quadruple, but two cup defeats in succession mean their trophy hopes are down to two. Happily for them, they are nine points clear of Manchester City - who beat them in the Carabao Cup final - at the top of the league and are fresh from a late 1-0 win over Sporting in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final to stay in the hunt for both honours. Their opponents on their return to domestic action are well-rested Bournemouth , who completed a brilliant double over Arsenal last season.

While the 13th-placed Cherries may not be quite the same team as then, or in quite the same form, they remain a tricky opponent for any side, chasing a longest-ever unbeaten Premier League run of 12 games, and are still in the hunt for a European place next season. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Arsenal v Bournemouth?

Arsenal host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 11 April, with kick-off at 12. 30pm. How can I watch it?

Viewers in the UK can watch the match on TNT Sports 1 and streaming service HBO Max , which has replaced discovery+ in the UK. Coverage starts at 11am. Team news Bukayo Saka - who withdrew from international duty with an issue - and Jurrien Timber are doubts for the game after missing the win over Sporting on Tuesday night, as are Gabriel and Martin Odegaard, who picked up fresh knocks in that game.
