Arsenal vs Bournemouth team news
Emery has plenty of selection dilemmas all across the pitch, with plenty of his youngsters and backup players impressing in the Europa League.
While Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin returned at full-back, the pair may be rested this weekend as they ease back to full fitness.
Gabriel Martinelli starred with two goals and an assist against Standard Liege, though Perre-Emerick Aubameyang will almost certainly take his spot up front with Alexandre Lacazette still out with an ankle injury.
Bukayo Saka should start after being rested on Thursday, though it remains doubtful whether Mesut Ozil will even return to the matchday squad after falling out of favour with Emery.
As for Bournemouth, David Brooks, Charlie Daniels and Junior Stanislas are all out. Ryan Fraser looks set to return, while Adam Smith and Dan Gosling will both be hoping to recover from injury.
