Start of match
PRVW
Players take the knee before kick-off!
PRVW
Arsenal have won all of their last five encounters against the Cherries! Will the Gunners increase their streak to six wins? Or will Bournemouth shock Arteta's men at the Vitality?
PRVW
Half an hour to gooooooooo!!! Any predictions???
PRVW
Bukayo Saka will miss the match entirely as he is not even on the bench!!!
With that all said, let's have a look at the possibel lineups!!!!
PRVW
The only doubt for the match is Tyler Adams. The midfielder could make his return after sustaining a hamstring rupture. Meanwhile, Milos Kerkez is expected to be fit.
PRVW
On the other hand, great news for Bournemouth!!! The Cherries have a full squad available for the first time this season.
PRVW
Saka, who was forced to withdraw from England after a knock, is a doubt alongside Havertz, Zinchenko, Timber and Ben White. Arteta said on Friday he is hopeful "the injury isn't too serious" for Saka, and explained that Havertz has "a good chance to be fit and available". A late call will be made for them as well.
PRVW
Moreover, Tomiyasu is also out for the game. The defender has suffered a set back, thus extending his period on the sidelines. Brazilian forward Martienelli missed the game against Peru over the break due to a calf discomfort. A late call will be made on him as a result.
PRVW
For the Gunners the injury list is rather long.... Skipper Martin Odegaard is still unavailable due to an ankle injury suffered with Norway during the September international break. That said, Arteta confirmed that the midfielder is nearing his return and will be assessed next weekend ahead of the crunch against Liverpool.
PRVW
Let's have a look at the players who are unavailable/a doubt for the clash before we get into the possible lineups!
PRVW
Now the teams are back, but not in the same shape they left off before the international break, who seems to have caused a bit of turmoil due to the amount of injuries....
PRVW
Before players headed off to their own respective national sides, we left off with Arsenal in joint-second place with Man City - who are ahead due to a better goal difference - and just one point behind Premier League-leaders Liverpool. On the other hand, Bournemouth stayed 13th after their latest 1-0 defeat to newly-promoted side Leicester.
PRVW
With the end of the international break, we are finally back to Premier League action!!!!
