Midfield
Andrew Surman played almost the full game against Swansea City and is likely to be replaced by Dan Gosling for the match against Arsenal. There is no way Howe would risk benching his best player in such a huge fixture, hence Harry Arter is starting the game.
He has been the engine for Bournemouth’s impressive season this year and his partnership with Gosling has been applauded on more than one occasion.
Jack Wilshere will once again be a huge miss. The Arsenal loanee cannot play against his mother club.
Callum Wilson, who scored the only goal against Arsenal in Emirates, is expected to start in his position.
Attack
The return of Junior Stanislas has been a huge boost for Howe and he looked to be in good touch against Swansea City. On the right flank against Monreal, this could be a real chance for the Cherries to find the chink in the armour.
Fraser will start on the left flank and will have to track Bellerin, whose pace might be too fast for Smith.
Joshua King is expected to start in the striker position replacing Afobe.
