Arsenal team news and line-up vs Bournemouth: Unai Emery's starting XI

Alexandre Lacazette misses out for Arsenal today as Unai Emery's Gunners face Bournemouth on the south coast.

Lacazette pulled out of France's squad at the start of the international break due to a slight groin injury, but does not make Emery's 18-man squad to face the Cherries.

Mesut Ozil has also been benched as Emery opts for a 3-4-3, with Henrik Mkhitaryan, Alex Iwobi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in attack.

Bournemouth made three alterations of their own as Dan Gosling started his first Premier League game in two months.

Joshua King returned following an ankle issue while Charlie Daniels also came in.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic, Francis, Steve Cook, Ake, Daniels, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser, Wilson, King

Subs: Boruc, Surman, Mousset, Lewis Cook, Defoe, Stanislas, Mings

Arsenal XI: Leno, Mustafi, Papastathopoulos, Holding, Bellerin, Torreira, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Aubameyang

Subs: Cech, Elneny, Ramsey, Ozil, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Nketiah

Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire)
