Mesut Ozil is expected to be named in the Arsenal starting XI for Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Bournemouth.

Ozil has started just 13 Premier League games under Unai Emery, returning to the starting XI for Thursday’s Europa League clash against BATE Borisov before being benched again against Southampton.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles could slot in at right-back after missing the last two games through illness.

Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng should be restored to the first-team after starting on the bench against Saints on Sunday.

Denis Suarez is expected to be among the subs again having managed just 66 minutes of first-team action since arriving on loan from Barcelona in January.

Dominic Solanke could partner Josh King up front for Bournemouth, who have not won since their 4-0 hammering of Chelsea in January.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Mailtand-Niles, Sokartis, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Guendouzi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Smith, Mepham, Ake, Rico, Ibe, Gosling, Surman, Fraser, King, Solanke
