Premier League LIVE: Bukayo Saka captains Arsenal with Martin Odegaard dropping to the bench as Arsenal host Sheffield United, while Burnley travel to Bournemouth

An early goal to note in the Championship, with second-place Ipswich trailing early to Plymouth.

It’sex-Swansea man Morgan Whittaker with the goal.

A long way to go, but not an ideal start for the Tractor Boys.

McAtee and Bogle double up on Martinelli on the left. One feels there will be a lot of deep defending today.

Rice shoots from distance and Robinson blocks. The ball doesn’t really go anywhere and he has to get back again to prevent Havertz from tapping in.

Early possession for the hosts, as you’d expect, and Saka’s cross is cleared before Smith Rowe fouls Norwood.

Robinson takes a long throw as United come forward.. actually he goes short, and the evental cross is caught by Raya.

After a moment of applause for Sir Bobby Charlton, we are underway.

The teams are on their ways out at the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka leads out the hosts.

Right then, we’re expecting the players out soon.

Arsenal could go second, at least for a day, with a win today.

Five minutes until we’re underway.

The goalkeepers are out to warm up at the Emirates. Still a bit of a talking point, isn’t it?

Raya’s distribution has been under the microscope after a tough couple of games but he’s still Arteta’s number one.

Aaron Ramsdale has remained professional but he can’t be too happy. We’ll see what his future holds.

It’s an interesting one.

Chelsea have fallen right back down to earth in the west London derby this afternoon, losing 2-0 to Brentford after goals from Ethan Pinnock and Bryan Mbeumo.

Boos all round at Stamford Bridge. But Brentford win at Stamford Bridge for the third season in a row.

Adrian Kajumba’s report is below.

Another thing I just wanted to share quickly…

Mikel Arteta will clean up his act on the touchline to avoid facing a ban, as he admits the public image of his antics is ‘not the best’.

The Arsenal boss is one yellow card away from a one-game suspension after he was booked for abusing the referee after his side’s draw with Chelsea.

And ahead of today’s clash with Sheffield United, Arteta has revealed he is working hard to change his image.

Read more below.

So Jesus misses out today and it’s a worry for Arteta, whose side haven’t been as fluent in attack as they may have liked to have been so far this season.

England interntational Eddie Nketiah starts up top but Arteta has spoken a lot about how important the Brazilian is to his team.

Arsenal aren’t expecting it to be serious. And they’ll be hoping that too.

Bournemouth: Radu, Aarons, Zabarnyi, Mepham, Kelly, Scott, Billing, Christie, Semenyo, Tavernier, Solanke.

Subs: Travers, Smith, Kerkez, Rothwell, Brooks, Outtara, Sinisterra, Kluivert, Moore.

Burnley: Trafford, Vitinho, O’Shea, Al-Dakhil, Taylor, Zaroury, Koleosho, Cullen, Brownhill, Gundundsson, Amdouni.

So not Neto for Bournemouth and no Foster for Burnley. Two important players missing there.

Four changes for Arsenal then from their draw against Chelsea last weekend.

Gabriel drops out of the defence for Kiwior, while Odeggard and Jorginho drop to the bench in place of Havertz and Smith Rowe. Saka captains the side.

Jesus is injured, so Nketiah comes in.

Sheffield United’s team looks awkward. It could be a tough afternoon for them.

Foderingham, Bogle, Trusty, Robinson, Thomas, Souza, Norwood, McAtee, Hamer, Slimane, Brewster.

Subs: Davies, Baldock, Larouci, Fleck, Osborn, Brooks, Archer, Traore, One.

Arsenal’s game against Sheffield United will be our feaure game this afternoon, so let’s start with team news from there.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Rice, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Saka, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Subs: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Jorginho, Elneny, Vieira, Odegaard, Nelson, Trossard.

Gooooood afternoon one and all and welcome to Mail Sport’s live blog for this afternoon’s 3pm kick-offs.

Just two Premier League matches today with Arsenal hosting Sheffield United and Bournemouth Burnley. A lot rides on the matches though, with all three sides in the bottom three involved and Arsenal too, who are chasing the title.

A few Championship games too, so we’ll keep an eye on them as well.

A big afternoon of football coming up!
