Eddie Howe will face the only Premier League manager to have been in a job longer than him on Sunday when Bournemouth welcome Arsenal to Dean Court. Howe has been with Bournemouth since 2012 and is in his second spell as manager of the club, while Arsene Wenger is approaching two decades in charge of the Gunners.I think that is the dream to have longevity in management, said 38-year-old Howe, who was a teenage defender for the Cherries when Wenger succeeded Bruce Rioch in north London in 1996. I dont feel like I have been here a long time, I just feel time goes so quickly and seasons fly by. I dont think it is healthy for the profession that I am up [at the top of the list].I dont think it is a good thing that managers are changing so quickly and then philosophies change but it seems to be the way football is going.Howe believes managers can develop by watching Wenger. Arsene Wenger joined the Gunners from Nagoya Grampus Eight I am full of respect for Arsene, Howe added.The fact that he has been able to stay at such a big club under that scrutiny, to withstand that pressure, to keep producing teams and playing good football, it is incredibly difficult.That is the challenge for every manager but it seems like it is becoming more difficult as time goes on.I think management is getting harder and harder with the microscope really set on people week in, week out, especially at the bigger clubs.I think you can learn a lot just analysing what he has done and how he has done it and there are certain principals - he is very strong to his beliefs and how he believes football should be played. Eddie Howe is not setting any points targets in Bournemouths bid for Premier League survival Howe has been linked with big Premier League clubs and tipped as a potential future England manager after taking Bournemouth to the top flight but the 38-year-old says he has no intention of moving any time soon.He said: The key thing for me, if I was offered another job, would be my relationship here and what Im feeling with this club.Thats always been my way of working and thinking. If Im happy and able to express myself here then Im not the type of person to look over the fence and want to move next door.The way I manage is very long term, I am always thinking of the long-term interests of this football club. When you work that way you cant just say Ive had a better offer, Im going to go.Watch Bournemouth take on Arsenal on Sunday from 1:30pm live on Sky Sports 1 Also See: Sky Live: Bmouth v Arsenal Giroud warns of Afobe Howes warning for Afobe Afobes Arsenal reunion Fake Thunder Jerseys .

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacys powerful running early on helped propel the Green Bay Packers to a 20-12 win over the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night.Lacy had nine carries for 45 yards, capped by a 1-yard touchdown dive on third-and-goal, to highlight a 14-play, 74-yard drive to start the game as the Packers again played without quarterback Aaron Rodgers.It shows what were capable of doing, Lacy said. And as long as were all on the same page, we can pretty much have a lot of drives like that.The night was over at that point for Lacy, who made Mike McCarthy happy in the offseason by slimming down after the coach was critical of the lead backs playing weight at the end of last season.With a healthy Rodgers again held out of game action, second-year backup Brett Hundley made the start in his preseason debut.But after directing the early touchdown drive, which used more than half of the clock in the first quarter, Hundley left the game early in the second quarter after he reinjured his left ankle.McCarthy said the teams medical staff doesnt consider the setback to be as bad as the original injury that sidelined Hundley for two weeks before he returned to practice this week.The Packers rushing attack carried the offense with 145 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown run by third-string back John Crockett.Derek Carr ran Oaklands offense for a half Thursday, but wasnt effective.The third-year starter completed 9 of 13 passes for just 38 yards and had an underthrown pass to standout receiver Amari Cooper picked off by Damarious Randall.Raiders running back Latavius Murray had six carries for 19 yards against a Green Bay defense that was without three key starters, including linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers.Matthews and Peppers, who have yet to play in the preseason, have been threatened with suspensions by the NFL if they dont cooperate with the leagues investigation of the players alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs.JORDYS BACKA day after the Packers activated Jordy Nelson from the physically unable to perform list, the star receiver suited up for and participated in pregame warmups.It was good to get back out there, Nelson said. Obviously, its another step in the right direction.Nelson was out since the start of training camp with an injury to his left knee, which he called a hiccup.After he missed the 2015 season because of a torn AACL in his right knee, its uncertain if Nelson could play Green Bays next exhibition game, Aug.dddddddddddd. 26 at San Francisco, when Rodgers expects to have extended playing time.MACK ATTACKAll-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack had a big first half for the Raiders in pressuring the pocket.One of Macks two quarterback hits forced Hundley to leave the game after Hundley managed to complete a pass of 31 yards to Davante Adams.Mack later dominated Packers backup rookie left tackle Jason Spriggs on back-to-back plays with a sack of Joe Callahan and then pressuring Callahan into an intentional-grounding penalty.INJURY UPDATERaiders: Starting DE Mario Edwards Jr. (hip) and TE Gabe Holmes (ankle) are out indefinitely after getting hurt in the preseason opener last week. Undrafted rookie RB Jalen Richard (knee) missed a second straight game.Packers: Veteran S Morgan Burnett remains sidelined because of a back injury that flared up before last weeks first game. Micah Hyde again made the start in Burnetts absence.QUOTABLERaiders: Not the kind of sharp showing were looking for. A lot of things we can learn from and move on. Thats what we have to do. -- Coach Jack Del Rio on the teams performance.ROOKIE WATCHRaiders: QB Connor Cook, the teams fourth-round draft pick, went 6 of 9 for 101 yards. He had a fourth-quarter pass intercepted by Josh Hawkins.Packers: DE Dean Lowry, a fourth-round draft choice, started in Green Bays base defense for the second straight game.QB COMPARISONRaiders: Top backup Matt McGloin was 2 of 5 for 2 yards before giving way to Cook late in the third quarter.Packers: Hundley went 5 of 7 for 67 yards before leaving with the injury. . Callahan, who started the first preseason game, was 9 of 17 for 65 yards. Fellow undrafted rookie Marquise Williams finished, but didnt throw a pass.BIG DEBUTJustin McInnes was the line judge for the game, marking the first time a current Canadian Football League official worked an NFL game.McInnes was part of an eight-man crew led by referee Bill Vinovich on Thursday.Two other CFL officials are working NFL exhibition games this week as part of the two leagues officiating development program.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
