Mikel Arteta’s quest of an elusive Premier League crown sees Arsenal take on Bournemouth next. The Gunners visit the Vitality Stadium on matchday eight of the English top flight as they look to pick up where they left off prior to the international break.
The fitness issues have mounted for the North Londoners and with several absentees expected, here is a look at Arsenal’s potential starting eleven against the Cherries.
Goalkeeper – David Raya is expected to keep his place in goal. There is no much to debate regarding the goalkeeper’s role at Arsenal given the Spaniard’s respectable form in recent weeks.
Defenders – Riccardo Calafiori will keep his place on the left side of the backline, although Jurrien Timber’s injury could mean Ben White returns to play as the right back. White has been nursing a knock lately but could be fit to return this weekend.
Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba will keep their places in the heart of the Arsenal back four.
