MARTIN Odegaard, the Arsenal captain, misses out again with injury as young defender Myles Lewis-Skelly gets a rare start Saturday for the title-chasing Gunners at home to Bournemouth (12.30). The 19-year-old makes only his second Premier League start of the season, coming in at left-back in place of the injured Riccardo Calafiori. There is a boost off the bench for Mikel Erteta with Piero Hincapie and Eberechi Eze both passed fit and available. “But this one is a very particular one – in the Premier League because it’s been 22 years and the Champions League has never been done before. So put everything on the table because that’s the moment to do it.”Twenty-eight days have passed since Arsenal last played in the Premier League.
