Arsenal will clash heads with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium this Saturday evening as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a dominant 4-1 win over Aston Villa recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make one change to his first team for this clash. Eberechi Eze could play from the start of this game, while Mikel Merino makes way for him and drops to the bench.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Bournemouth
Defence
David Raya will operate in between the sticks for the Gunners after he shipped in one goal in his last league appearance. William Saliba will function alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Jurrien Timber will get the nod to impress as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the Bournemouth half.
Ben White will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench. However, Riccardo Calafiori will be sidelined for this game due to injury.
Midfield
Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard will make up Arsenal’s midfield as they focus on winning the 50-50 duels at the centre of the park and engineering some clear-cut chances in the final third.
Mikel Merino will have to settle for a place on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if needed. However, Declan Rice is unlikely to recover in time for this game.
Attack
Leandro Trossard will try to prove his worth on the left flank, while Bukayo Saka hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the right-sided wide player. Both of them will try to make some overlapping runs out on the flanks.
Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the North London club up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Gabriel Jesus will be available for selection on the bench.
