    (45+4) HT: Bournemouth 0-0 Arsenal: The match started off relatively slow. It was only when Arsenal's Saliba was sent off that the two sides picked up their pace. The defender was the last man for his side when he fouled striker Evanilson. VAR intervention meant that his yellow was changed into a red. Nevertheless, the Gunners head into their break on a stalemate.

  • PRVW
    Half an hour to gooooooooo!!! Any predictions???
  • PRVW
    Brazilian defender Gabriel will wear the captain's armband for Arsenal today!
  • PRVW
    Bukayo Saka will miss the match entirely as he is not even on the bench!!!
  • PRVW
    Arsenal starting XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Partey, Merino; Sterling, Havertz, Trossard.
  • PRVW
    Bournemouth starting XI: Kepa; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Semenyo, Scott, Cook, Dango; Tavernier; Evanilson.
  • PRVW
    The sides have dropped their lineupssssssssssssss
  • PRVW
    Tyler Adams' shirt in the dugout!!! Will we see the American feature today???
  • PRVW
    Arsenal possible starting XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Partey, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.
  • PRVW
    Bournemouth possible starting XI: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson.
  • PRVW
    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!!!!
