Gunners look for three points as they host Bournemouth
Kick-off : 2:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Emirates Stadium, London
Referee : Anthony Taylor
Arsenal are under a bit of pressure as they have lost couple games on succession. They will look to get things normalized by winning against Bournemouth.
The Gunners title hopes are still alive as this is just the beginning, though they should have positive results ahead. Arsenal’s first loss of the season came when they played Stoke away and it was followed by a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool.
Arsenal have failed to sign Thomas Lemar and they have already lost Oxlade Chamberlain to Liverpool. Alexis Sanchez’s future remains in doubt but Wenger needs to forget that and start focusing on winning games ahead.
It shouldn’t be that hard for Arsenal to overcome Bournemouth on Saturday as Eddie Howe’s men sit in the bottom three without a point this term.
Team news and possible line-ups
Simon Francis is expected to be available on Saturday for Bournemouth. While Junior Stanislas and Callum Wilson are still recovering from injuries.
Other than that the Cherries are having a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s game.
As for Arsenal, they have no new injury concerns for Saturday’s clash. Koscielny should be fit despite suffering an injury while on international duty with France.
Jack Wilshere will not be featuring against the Cherries as he is still recovering from injury. While Santi Cazorla will be missing till Christmas.
Bournemouth XI : Begovic, Smith, cook, Ake, Mings, Daniels, Gosling, Surman, Arter, King, Defoe.
Arsenal XI : Cech, Holding, Koscielny, Monreal, Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Kolasinac, Sanchez, Ozil, Lacazette.
Prediction
I expect Arsenal to win this match 2-0.
