Mikel Arteta ends Arsenal's 37-year streak with bold Bournemouth team selection

Mikel Arteta has ended a remarkable 37-year Arsenal streak with his team selection for Saturday's crunch Premier League fixture against Bournemouth.

The Gunners have the opportunity to re-establish a five-point cushion over Manchester City in the title race with a positive result against the Cherries, who are fighting for survival at the other end of the table.

After thrashing Everton 4-0 in midweek, Arteta has decided to shuffle his pack against Gary O'Neill's side by making three changes. Takehiro Tomiyasu, Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira all come into the team, with Ben White, Jorginho and Granit Xhaka all making way.
