Arsenal have the opportunity to move at top of the league on Saturday as they play against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The Gunners are currently occupying third spot in the PL standings but they could take the initiative in the title race this weekend given that both Man City and Liverpool are not in action until Sunday.

Team News
Buakayo Saka and Martinelli are not featured in the Arsenal squad against Bournemouth this weekend due to injuries. Saka sustained a hamstring issue on England duty and Martinelli damaged his calf while representing Brazil, although the former is apparently optimistic about his chances of being fit for the weekend. The same applies to Thomas Partey and Kai Havertz, despite being withdrawn from their national team camps, but captain Martin Odegaard (ankle) and defender Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are reported to have suffered setbacks and will be sidelined for at least another month.
While Arsenal have no fewer than 10 concerns at present, Bournemouth could come into the weekend with a clean bill of health, as Iraola said before the international break that he was optimistic of Tyler Adams’s chances of returning from a back injury against the Gunners. With almost all of his players available, Iraola may consider to change one or two after their King Power terror show, most likely in attack after Justin Kluivert was withdrawn at half time in the Leicester loss. Luis Sinisterra and Dango Ouattara are both alternatives to the Dutchman in attack – the former was a bright spark after his introduction against the Foxes – but Evanilson should still keep Enes Unal at bay in the number nine spot.
Probable Line-Ups
Bournemouth XI: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Sinisterra; Evanilson
Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Havertz, Partey, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
Verdict.
Arsenal can draw confidence from their remarkably strong record in this fixture over the years, having triumphed in 13 of the overall 16 meetings between the pair, including each of the last five.
Bet on Arsenal Win
Reason: Arsenal is favored to win due to their deeper and more experienced squad, and if they take advantage of their attacking strengths, they should secure the victory.
