Man Utd seem most interested in Mateus Fernandes right now, Arsenal and PSG said to be admirers too. But what is the appeal of a player who’s been relegated back-to-back? The numbers show Fernandes could be best alternative to Elliot Anderson. Analysis: skysports.com/football/news/…

A gutting way for Arsenal to end a great season. Two of the big game changers at this end of the season - Eze and Gabriel - didn’t deserve that There’s a wider issue of how Arsenal need to develop style of play after no shot on target for last 114 mins - but one for later. #afc

Arsenal didn’t have two players the last time they faced PSG. Kai Havertz and Gabriel. Both players making a difference early on at both ends. That was the finish of someone who has played at this stage before. #afc

Fairly big call to go with Piero Hincapie. Calafiori’s impact since returning from injury has been significant and he has a good relationship with Trossard. Arteta seems to be choosing his best defenders. Hincapie is that - but need better than his Carabao Cup final outing. #afc

Analysing the big selection dilemmas Mikel Arteta has ahead of the Champions League final - and if the numbers can tell us anything. The biggest call is the ā€˜flip of a coin’ choice between Gyokeres and Havertz, which will have an impact elsewhere. #afc skysports.com/football/news/…

Jurrien Timber has given an update on his injury to @skysports_sheth just now. "It’s been a bit slower than expected. But I’m working really hard to come back. There is hope [for the final]. But we’ll see. I’m working, trying really hard." #afc skysports.com/football/live-…

Asked Iraola if he's expecting champagne or gift from Mikel Arteta to say thanks: "It would be lovely, something! I haven't even checked my phone, I should have at least one text message. But it was not because of this game. They were probably going finish it themselves." #afc

Arsenal deserved Premier League champions. Man City deserved beaten to the post. This title race is the embodiment of attacks win you games, defence win you titles. The trust in Mikel Arteta vindicated. The trusted process comes through. #afc

It's on now. One step closer. Man City caught in the transitions again. Arsenal's defensive solidity is separating the two title rivals. #afc

Man City fans are singing 'One More Year, One More Year Guardiola' within seconds of kick-off. #mcfc

Interesting loyalties in the Bournemouth team. Both Tyler Adams and Marcus Tavernier grew up as Arsenal fans, having both gone on record to say how much they enjoyed watching Thierry Henry play. Their midfield partner Alex Scott is said to be a Spurs fan though...

Here we go. Arrived at the Vitality for Bournemouth vs Man City. A massive game for both sides - a potentially era-defining night for Arsenal. City must win at the team with the longest current unbeaten run in Europe’s top five leagues - or the title race is over.

A win to sum up Arsenal's season. Set piece, clean sheet, nervy, win. 'One Nil to the Arsenal' is the second-most common Premier League scoreline this season. Arsenal haven't conceded from open play since the Man City game a month ago. #afc

For what it's worth I think Havertz is VERY VERY lucky to get away with that. You've seen them not only given but overturned... #afc

Arsenal's 24th Premier League set piece goal this season. And their 18th from a corner. It's a very 'Gabriel goal' from Havertz. Normally it's the Brazilian in that zone. #afc
