Arsenal vs Bournemouth: Match Preview:

The Gunners have responded perfectly to their loss to Manchester City with consecutive victories over Aston Villa, Leicester and Everton, and they'll expect to keep that streak alive against the relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Gary O'Neil's side find themselves 19th after a run of eight defeats in their last 11 games in all competitions, and with bottom side Southampton hosting Leicester later on Saturday, there is a chance the Cherries could end the weekend bottom of the table if they fail to pick up a point here.

Team News:

Arsenal:

Jorginho was forced off through illness midway through the last game and could lose his place in the team to the returning Thomas Partey as a result.

There may be changes elsewhere too, given the heavy workload caused by midweek fixtures. Oleksandr Zinchenko could be rotated out as a result while Eddie Nketiah faces a fitness test after appearing to aggravate a knock he was carrying against Everton.

Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny remain out.

Bournemouth:

Matias Vina, Junior Stanislas and Marcus Tavernier were all ruled out of the recent defeat to Manchester City and, given the short turnaround, may not have time to recover. Lloyd Kelly and Lewis Cook are both doubts as well.

Ilya Zabarnyi and David Brooks are confirmed absentees.
