Summary: Arsenal - Everton 0:4 (Sport1)
The leader Arsenal has been very successful in its last three games and returned to a five-point lead at the top, and to the joy of Mikel Arteta and his players - at least on paper - a very comfortable game awaits them at the Emirates Stadium against Bournemouth below the red line (Saturday, 17:00, Sport2).
In other games that will be held in England on Saturday, Chelsea will host Leeds in a game that could finally seal the fate of Graham Potter and Tottenham will be hosted by Wolves after the embarrassing loss that cost them in the elimination from the cup.

Arsenal - Bournemouth 1:0 (1st half)
Arsenal returned to a five-point lead at the top after completing their missing game against Everton and rewarded the Toffees for the loss in the first round with a crushing 0:4, a game in which the attacking quartet of Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Andrew Trussar and Bocayo Saka once again starred.
Each of the members of the quartet was involved in the goals against Everton en route to a third consecutive league victory and a second quadruple in three games, so Arteta continued with almost the same lineup against Bournemouth, which last week suffered a 4:1 home defeat by Manchester City and was unable to maintain the momentum from the surprising victory over Wolves a week earlier, the team's first in 2023.
Bournemouth is in 19th place and it is very doubtful if they will be able to get out of it this week, certainly if you take into account that they are the away team that conceded the most in the league (32 goals in 12 games) and Arsenal have the second best home record in the Premier League, only Manchester City is ahead of them.
1 minute: Goal!
Wow, what was here?
Bournemouth took the lead in the very first attack, when Ouattara burst from the right and sent a cross to Billing who cleared from close range.
An incredible 0:1 for Bournemouth, in just 11 seconds.
Fifth fastest goal in Premier League history.
4th minute: Excellent double chance for Arsenal.
Odgor kicked sharp and flat from 16 meters, but Mento squeezed a save.
Saka kicked the rebound from close range, but from three meters Netto again made a great save.
More in Walla!

Chelsea - Leeds 0:0 (1st half)
According to the media in England, if Graham Potter does not lead the Blues to victory in the home game against Leeds, he will be on his way.
Owner Todd Boehly has so far refused to sack the coach he replaced Thomas Tuchel in September, but just five wins in the 18 rounds since Potter arrived from Brighton, two wins in the last 16 games in all competitions and in danger of relegation from the Champions League after the 1-0 loss in Germany to Borussia Dortmund In the first game of the round of 16, they did their thing.
In the third round of the season, still under Tuchel, Chelsea was defeated 3:0 in Leeds, but if Chelsea scores three goals as they did in the two previous games in which they hosted Leeds, they will at least manage to keep the 10th place in the table.
The injured Thiago Silva is out for Chelsea, while Leeds have Max Webber and Jack Harrison back in the starting XI for Tuesday's cup defeat to Fulham.
By the way, if Leeds win, they will complete the first "double" over Chelsea since 1991/92.

Wolves - Tottenham 0:0 (1st half)
Harry Kane did not start in the lineup on Wednesday in the cup match and Tottenham recorded their most embarrassing loss of the season, 1:0 to Sheffield United who advanced to the quarter-finals of the cup at their expense.
This is another title that the Roosters will no longer win, but in the league they are after two consecutive victories against their city rivals West Ham and Chelsea, victories thanks to which they overtook Newcastle and at least currently they are in fourth place.
Jung Min Son is back in the lineup along with Kane who hopes to score against the Wolves in an away game in the Premier League for just the second time in his career.
Kane also scored against them at home in the first round of the season when he made it 0:1 in the third round.
Coach Antonio Conte, who was absent recently for medical reasons, is still not back on the line and will be back for the return match against Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday.
