Arsenal XI vs Bournemouth: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Premier League clash

After making 10 changes for Thursday’s win over Standard Liege, Arsenal coach Unai Emery should shuffle his pack once again for Sunday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth

The big debate over selection revolves around defence, with Hector Bellerin, Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding all pushing to start.

However, given they are all only just returning from injury, you suspect Emery may urge on the side of caution - particularly given Tierney is not joining up with Scotland for the upcoming international break.

Of the three, Holding is most likely to start. Further forward, Joe Willock deserves his place in midfield and should start alongside Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi.

Forward Bukayo Saka will hope to be rewarded with another Premier League start too after being left out of the squad to face Liege.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nicolas Pepe are likely to join him in the front three, with the latter in need of a good performance to boost his confidence.

Arsenal predicted lineup (4-3-3): Leno; Chambers, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac; Willock, Xhaka, Guendouzi; Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka.
