Premier League fixtures [7:45pm kick-off]

FT: AFC Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester City

FT: Everton 2-1 Arsenal

Another stunning dose of Premier League football with two relative surprise results. Arsenal fail to go top as they lose to Everton, while Bournemouth beat champions Leicester.

That is all we have time for tonight, we're back tomorrow with eight more matches from the English top flight. Until next time, goodbye.

Full time: Everton 2-1 Arsenal

An unbelievable finale at Goodison Park but Everton hold out, and even should have scored at the end as Petr Cech ran back into his own goal after going forward for the final minute. Arsenal are beaten for the first time since the opening day. Ashley Williams' header did it and the Toffees have their first win since 30 October.

How are Arsenal not level? Everton not once but twice clear the ball off the line in stoppage time. Baines cleared the second shot from Iwobi. Amazing.

Red card: Phil Jagielka (Everton)

Full time: Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester

Ulloa on for Leicester and he should have the equaliser. The Spaniard hits first time from Vardy's cross, six yards out, and Boruc somehow gets across and makes the save.

Goal: Everton 2-1 Arsenal (Ashley Williams)

There has looked like being only one winner for a long, long time at Goodison and Ashley Williams gives Everton a deserved lead with four minutes left. Baines' corner is a good one and Williams stoops and blasts a header into the corner. scenes of jubilation on Merseyside.

Pugh has the chance to win it for Bournemouth but he can't execute the curling shot. Leicester come close themselves but Cook's sliding tackle keeps out Okazaki.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin on for his Everton debut. Can he make a name for himself in the final 10 minutes, and grab the winner?

Steve Cook has been a thorn in Leicester's side tonight.

Christian Fuchs curls a free-kick almost straight out of play from a good position. Leicester have been woeful at times tonight, but a point is very much up for grabs if they want it.

Okazaki's introduction has given Leicester more bite in the final third at Bournemouth but they are yet to really test Artur Boruc in this second half. The Cherries relatively comfortable but their lead is wafer-thin.

Second wind from Everton. Lukaku is fed by McCarthy and Monreal does well before Coleman's cross is almost put through his own net by Koscielny. Entertaining game this and it could go either way.

Olivier Giroud on for Arsenal as they chase a winner. Both games into the final 20 minutes and there is no guarantee where the points are going.

Should Leicester have had a penalty? Nathan Ake can't run the ball out and Vardy gets the wrong side and goes to ground but the referee waves away the appeal. The visitors have been much improved since the break.

Closer this time from Ross Barkley, who takes the shot with his left foot on this occasion and it goes just wide of Cech's goal.

Arsenal pressing for a second after the break.

Baines roams to the edge of the Arsenal penalty area where he is brought down by Coquelin. Barkley takes aim from the set piece but he is denied by the wall.

What a miss! Arsenal should be back in front. Everton in a mess again and Sanchez cuts the ball back to Ozil who curls over the bar. Wenger is fuming on the bench after what was a more than presentable chance is scuppered.

Seamus Coleman and his teammates celebrate Everton's equaliser.

Second half has started at Goodison. No changes at half time.

Back underway at the Vitality Stadium, where it is Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester. Slightly behind at Goodison, where they are yet to resume.

Half time: Everton 1-1 Arsenal

A half of two halves. Arsenal led through Alexis Sanchez without having to do much but the effort sparked Everton into life and Seamus Coleman headed home a deserved leveller. The hosts have upped the intensity, which almost spills over as both teams head down the tunnel for half-time, and the Gunners have had no response, so far.

Half time: Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester

Marc Pugh has the Cherries ahead of the break, and you can't argue at all with the hosts' lead. Leicester have been pretty awful it must be said, a far cry fro the display which saw them swat away Man City at the weekend. Much to improve on.

Goal: Everton 1-1 Arsenal (Seamus Coleman)

The Toffees have been a different side since they went behind and they are rewarded for the improvement with an equaliser in the final minute of the first half. Leighton Baines crosses right-footed and Coleman comes in from his right full-back position and flicks a header beyond Cech.

Marc Pugh celebrates his first goal since his comeback from injury.

Boruc is not the most reliable of Premier League goalkeepers and he collides with Daniels in an effort to keep Slimani from getting a header on target. Leicester having a bit of success via the direct route, which may become a theme of this game.

Steve Cook heads behind as Hernandez's cross looked to find Vardy. The corner from Albrighton nearly picks out Slimani, but he only directs his header off-target. Leicester look a threat from set-pieces, but not from a lot else.

Arsenal celebrate taking an early lead at Goodison.

Goal: Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester (Marc Pugh)

The Cherries weather the first period of Leicester pressure and they go down the other end and take the lead. Ziegler keeps out Afobe's sweeping shot, but from the rebound Pugh - who has returned after nine games out - hammers home with a fine finish.

At last some incisiveness from Everton. Aaron Lennon gets some space and runs at Bellerin, who is back-pedalling amid the pressure. He shifts onto his unfavoured left-foot and finds the sidelines netting disappointingly. But it has roused the Goodison park faithful

Bournemouth still largely on top against Leicester but neither goalkeeper has been tested in the opening half an hour. The Foxes do force a corner but Steve Cook heads clear with Wes Morgan closing in.

Hard to think of a more important player to any Premier League club, at the moment, than Sanchez.

Everton have been all at sea in this opening 25 minutes and Arsenal haven't even had to be particularly good to take advantage. Displays such as these give you a good idea of the scale of the challenge facing Ronald Koeman on Merseyside.

Goal: Everton 0-1 Arsenal (Alexis Sanchez)

From the resulting set-piece, Arsenal take the lead in embarrassing circumstances for Everton. The Chilean's strike is not the best but Ashley Williams, who had earlier tackled his own player when he took down Gueye, makes a hash of clearing the ball and it wrong-foots Robles and bobbles into the net.

Everton make a mess of trying to clear and there is a free-kick for Arsenal after Jagielka stamps on Coquelin. That passage of play followed Nacho Monreal getting in down the left and seeing his cross cleared.

Players line up ahead of kick-off at the Vitality Stadium.

Everton certainly having the better of the early going at Goodison. Valencia and Lukaku exchange passes, before the latter's cross is put behind by Koscielny.

It has been all Bournemouth in the opening stages but Leicester show what threat they do pose in their first real attack. Jamie Vardy is played in by Mahrez, rounds Boruc but is denied on the line. The Cherries get away with it.

Alexis Sanchez straight into the action at Goodison and he almost finds Theo Walcott, but the pass has too much on it. Meanwhile at Bournemouth, Charlie Daniels hammers a cross across goal and Smith just can't make contact six yards out.

Underway at the Vitality and Goodison. Here is to another entertaining evening of Premier League football.

Players already out on the south coast while they are slightly behind at Goodison as both teams emerge ahead of kick-off. We'll have every kick from both games on the way including news of what we hope is another deluge of goals. Updates on the way.

A lights show is currently building up to kick-off at the Vitality Stadium. The club want to build a new stadium where they can call home, but at the moment they are making their ground an intimidating prospect for visitors Leicester.

What of our other game then, which sees Bournemouth host a Leicester side who did their survival hopes the power of good when they defeated Manchester City. Will that trigger a revival, or can the Cherries back-up their win over Liverpool in their last home outing?

Arsenal have lost one of their last 18 against Everton so they go into tonight as favourites to return to the Premier League summit. A win tonight will again see them go top before Chelsea play at Sunderland on Wednesday. How they cope without Shkodran Mustafi, who will now be absent for three weeks. Gabriel comes in at centre-back and that could be a source of weakness which Romelu Lukaku will be eager to expose.

Arsenal are delighted to have Hector Bellerin back in their first team tonight.

It has certainly been a tough time of late for Everton, who have won one of last 10 matches and are slipping down the table at a rate of knots. Ronald Koeman fears a relegation battle with engulf the season if they don't start picking up points soon. Roberto Martinez's reign was littered with defensive issues and they have reared their head again this season. There is no doubt the talent in there, but the Dutchman is yet to harness that potential.

Fans will brave the conditions again on another cold night.

Leicester in place at the King Power Stadium. Pictorial evidence below, including a rather scary image of Leonardo Ulloa.

Gareth Barry is a notable omission from the Everton team tonight, but manager Ronald Koeman has downplayed fears he is dealing with an injury.

Bournemouth make three changes to the team which lost to Burnley. Jack Wilshere returns, as do Marc Pugh and Josh King.

Leicester make one change from the team which beat Man City. The suspended Danny Simpson is replaced with Luis Hernandez.

Let's add some meat to the bones of that team news then. Everton make three changes from the loss to Watford. Phil Jagielka and Ross Barkley are back in from the start as is Aaron Lennon.

For Arsenal, there is just one change as Hector Bellerin makes his first start since an ankle injury, with Gabriel moving to centre back to cover for the injured Mustafi.

Now Bournemouth and Leicester.....

Now Arsenal, who make only two changes.

Everton team first to drop...

Remember, there are eight matches in all tomorrow night in what is very much an early Christmas present for football fans around the country. Manchester United are in action at Crystal Palace, Liverpool go to Middlesbrough and leaders Chelsea take on Sunderland. Could be another interesting night.

Arsenal have arrived at Goodison Park.

As for Bournemouth vs Leicester, the hosts could recall Jack Wilshere after he missed the loss to Burnley but manager Eddie Howe has no other fitness worries.

For the champions, Danny Simpson is suspended but Danny Drinkwater returns after a suspension of his own. Kasper Schmeichel has spent six weeks out with a broken hand and could return.

Teams should be with us in around 20 minutes or so, but in the meantime how might both sides line up?

Ross Barkley, Aaron Lennon and Enner Valencia could earn a recall for Everton, who have no fresh injury concerns.

Shkodran Mustafi is one of eight confirmed absentees for Arsenal, who are also without Aaron Ramsey due to a hamstring injury.

It is a case of deja vu for Arsenal who can go top of the Premier League, before Chelsea play, for the second time in four days if they overcome Everton at Goodison Park. The Toffees are on a miserable run, having won one of their last 10 but with Romelu Lukaku in attack they stand every chance of causing a shock.

There is just one other game on this Tuesday night where revitalised champions Leicester City travel to Bournemouth. Jamie Vardy hit his first Foxes hat-trick in the destruction of Manchester City at the weekend and will be on the prowl again at the Vitality Stadium where Eddie Howe's team return for the first time since memorably beating Liverpool.

All the team news and updates ahead of both games, including out featured match between Everton and Arsenal, on the way ahead of the 7:45pm GMT kick-offs.
