Right, the teams are in from the Emirates for the late kick-off.

For Arsenal, it's two changes from the 2-1 win over Tottenham in midweek, but one of those is a huge blow.

William Saliba misses out, so Thomas Partey moves to right-back and Jurrien Timber moves into the centre.

Raheem Sterling also comes out of the team for Gabriel Martinelli.

For Villa, there is one change from the 1-0 win over Everton.

Ian Maatsen replaces Lucas Digne.

But the big news for the Villans is that new signing and former Gunner Donyell Malen is on the bench.

Jhon Duran's ban is also over, so he is among the substitutes.

Arsenal: Raya, Partey, Timber, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Merino, Odegaard, Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz

Subs: Neto, Tierney, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji, Kabia, Kacurri

Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen, Kamara, Onana, Rogers, Tielemans, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Duran, Buendia, Digne, Malen, Gauci, Nedelijkovic, Bogarde, Bailey

JUST LIKE THAT, WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE!

Raul Jimenez switches a ball from left to right into the box for Harry Wilson.

The Welshman does well to flick it back across goal.

Emile Smith Rowe gambles at the far post and throws himself at it.

It's brave, and he gets his rewards.

FINALLY, WE HAVE A GOAL!

Palace launch a long ball up the pitch that Ismaila Sarr flicks on for Eberechi Eze.

Eze plays it straight down the middle for Jean-Philippe Mateta.

The Frenchman drives to the edge of the box under no pressure and drills a low right-footed effort at goal.

It flies into the bottom corner, and the Eagles have the lead at the London Stadium.

Well, that is very unusual because every game in the Premier League is 0-0 after the first halves.

Liverpool are in danger of dropping more points as they are being held by Brentford at the Gtech.

Graham Potter's second home game as West Ham manager is against Crystal Palace, and that is also goalless.

And Leicester are looking to stop a run of six consecutive league defeats, and they are 45 minutes away from doing so.

Fulham hit the woodwork!

Alex Iwobi drifts in from the left and looks to bend one into the far corner.

It's a very good effort that beats the goalkeeper but clips the outside of the post and drops to safety.

Down the other end, Victor Kristiansen charges down the left, bundles his way into the box and just curls an effort wide of the far post.

Crossbar rocked!

Dominik Szoboszlai picks up possession and drives towards the Brentford box.

he takes aim from distance and slams in a shot.

It's an excellent effort that smacks off the woodwork and bounces away to safety.

What more can you say about Bournemouth, they've now beaten Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City and Newcastle United this season.

Two of those victories came away from home, with the latest a 4-1 demolition of the Toon at St James' Park.

The games at the Vitality saw them beat Arsenal, Tottenham and Man City.

They are most certainly right in the race for Champions League football.

Very lively start at the Gtech from both teams.

The hosts have looked particularly dangerous through Bryan Mbeumo, who has seen a shot saved by Alisson Becker.

Mikkel Damsgaard also missed a huge chance.

Down the other end, Mohamed Salah saw an opportunity snuffed out just before he pulled the trigger.

Right, after that crazy result at St James' Park, we are looking at the 3pm games.

At the Gtech, we have Brentford taking on Liverpool.

The big news there is that Diogo Jota is absent from the matchday squad.

At the King Power, it's Leicester taking on Fulham, with the hosts in desperate need of three points.

And Graham Potter is looking for back-to-back home victories as West Ham manager.

Crystal Palace are the visitors to the London Stadium.

There goes the final whistle, and what an incredible win for Bournemouth.

Justin Kluivert rattled in his second hat-trick of the season as the Cherries inflicted the second-heaviest defeat of the Eddie Howe Toon era at St James' Park.

Andoni Iraola's side were on peak form from the start, and deservedly take three points back to the south coast.

For Newcastle, it was a shocking day at the office, and the run of nine consecutive wins is over.

THIS IS INCREDIBLE!

Bournemouth have destroyed Newcastle at St James' Park, dealing out one of the heaviest defeats of the Eddie Howe era.

The Magpies throw everyone forward and get caught on the counter-attack.

The ball is worked into Milos Kerkez, and he lashes an excellent left-footed strike into the far corner.

WOW!

IT'S A TREBLE!

Justin Kluivert is leaving with the matchball.

It's his second hat-trick of the season, but unlike the last one, there was no penalties.

The Dutchman finds some space on the edge of the box, and he curls a fantastic shot into the corner.

Newcastle's winning run is over!

The Cherries have the ball in the back of the net again, but it's not going to count.

A cross comes in and is sent to the far post, Sandro Tonali lashes it away.

The Cherries recycle, and Dango Ouattara stabs home.

However, VAR has a look, and the ball had gone out of play when Tonali cleared it.

We have the starting XIs in from the Gtech.

Andy Robertson has been dropped by Arne Slot after the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Kostas Tsimikas takes his place at left-back.

However, there is no Diogo Jota in the matchday squad.

Apart from that, there are no changes for the Reds.

For Brentford, there is one change from the 2-2 draw against Manchester City.

Yehor Yarmoliuk replaces Vitaly Janelt.

Brentford: Flekken, Roerslev, Collins, Van den Berg, Lewis-Potter, Norgaard, Jensen, Yarmoliuk, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Wissa

Subs: Valdimarsson, Henry, Schade, Carvalho, Mee, Konak, Maghoma, Ji-soo

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Diaz

Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Robertson, Quansah, Bradley

Interesting start for Fabian Schar as he tries to switch the ball across the pitch from right to left.

He produces a terrible pass that David Brooks brings down.

Brooks takes a shot and curls an effort at goal that Martin Dubravka holds.

That sums up Newcastle's performance so far.

One change for Newcastle at the start of the second half.

Sven Botman is off for Fabian Schar.

The former Swiss international takes his place as the right-sided centre-back.

That's the end of the first 45 minutes, and the Toon's run of nine consecutive wins is very much in danger.

Bournemouth have been the better team by miles, and they have a deserved lead through a Justin Kluivert double.

Bruno Guimaraes equalised for Newcastle, but the Toon's back four have been all over the place.

The Cherries are currently on course to move just one point behind Eddie Howe's men in the table.

THEY STRIKE AGAIN!

Dan Burn plays a poor pass into Bruno Guimaraes.

The Brazilian is robbed of possession, and the ball is rolled into Justin Kluivert.

He takes a touch and drills a low shot under Martin Dubravka.

He has now scored more goals at St James' Park than his dad did when he played for the Toon.

Another opportunity for Dango Ouattara.

He starts the move with a great piece of skill in midfield to get past Joelinton.

He then works a pass into Lewis Cook, who delivers a cross that Ouattara heads over the bar.

Down the other end, Bruno Guimaraes finds Anthony Gordon in the box, who rifles in a left-footed shot that just deflects wide.

Today, 13:00By Jack Cunningham

THE CAPTAIN STRIKES!

Newcastle are level, and it's very straightforward.

Lewis Hall takes a corner from the right, and he whips it onto Bruno Guimaraes' head.

The Brazilian is unmarked and arrows his effort at goal, and Kepa Arrizabalaga can only parry it into the net.

However, Stuart Pearce wasn't impressed with the defending.

He said: "I think that is a poor goal for Bournemouth to concede.

"The defending and goalkeeping should have been better."

Well, this is the last thing that Bournemouth needed because it looks as if Antoine Semenyo is injured.

The forward has gone down holding his ankle.

He has been led off the pitch to receive some treatment.

But given their problems, he is going to try and carry on.

WHAT A START!

Tino Livramento fails to deal with a long ball forward, and it's played into Antoine Semenyo.

He manages to get to the byline and pull a ball into Justin Kluivert.

The Dutchman takes a touch and drills a shot into the bottom corner.

Big save from Martin Dubravka!

Bournemouth have started this game brilliantly, and they could have the lead.

David Brooks drifts in from the right and curls a cross into the box, and Dango Ouattara connects with it.

He directs the effort at goal, and Dubravka makes a good stop.

We are underway at St James' Park.

The Toon are in their traditional black and white stripes.

Bournemouth are wearing their all-change green strip.

Bruno Guimaraes wins the toss, and the Toon attack the Leazes End in the first half.
