Meeting Highlights...NO INJURY
Yes, everybody is fit and available so now it’s a headache to make the right selection. Good headache. The energy is really good. We just had a training session and again it was fantastic. They’re really at it, they’re really enthusiastic and we’re going to give it a real go.
...LOTS OF CORNER GOALS
It’s a combination of a lot of things. We work in a lot of phases of play and things that, in our opinion, can help us to be more competitive to win matches. Certainly, set-pieces are something fundamental in football.
...ANDONI IROLA AND BOURNEMOUTH
Fantastic job. To come into the Premier League and do what he’s done, huge credit to him, the coaching staff and the players obviously. They had a difficult start, they kept going with what they believed in and huge credit to him. It’s unbelievable what they’ve done in the manner that they’ve done it as well which is, in my opinion, very important as well. Congratulations because it’s a fantastic achievement.

Andoni Iraola
Manager on Bournemouth...INJURY REPORT
I'm very pleased with Antoine Semenyo's return to the squad in time for the trip to the Emirates Stadium. It's a huge boost for us because he's a very important player for both the end of this season and the start of the next one. Illia Zabarnyi is available after missing the Brighton win due to illness and Romain Faivre could also return, as could Philip Billing. However, Marcus Tavernier, Tyler Adams, Luis Sinisterra and Chris Mepham all remain out.
...MARK TRAVER'S PERFORMANCE
He has played very good when demanded which isn't a surprise because he is training very well and is pushing for minutes the same way Neto is.
...ARSENAL
I don't know if this is the most difficult challenge that we have faced this season but it is a difficult game because they are playing so well. I don't think we have gained any points at the Emirates, so we are expecting a really demanding game but if we give our best, we won't make it easy for Arsenal.
