Manchester City<\/a>who are still on for a potential treble. Arsenal will have their main focus on the league too, and so a win against Bournemouth would be really important.<\/p>\nMikel Arteta won\u2019t take Bournemouth lightly though, as they are currently 13th in the Premier League, and have drawn their last five matches in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
But Arsenal come in good form, as they won 1-0 against Sporting CP in the Champions League during the week\u2026<\/p>\n
White starts in favour of Timber<\/h2>\n
GK \u2013 David Raya \u2013 <\/strong>Raya keeps his spot in the starting XI for the Gunners, and he should be in line to start every remaining game this season.<\/p>\nLB \u2013 Riccardo Calafiori \u2013 <\/strong>Calafiori is fit and healthy, and so he is in line to start over Piero Hincapie and Lewis-Skelly.<\/p>\nCB \u2013 Gabriel \u2013 <\/strong>Gabriel is a key player for Arsenal as the run-in gets ever more tense and crucial against Man City.<\/p>\nCB \u2013 William Saliba \u2013 <\/strong>Saliba will hope to keep out the threats of Rayan and Evanilson at Bournemouth.<\/p>\nRB \u2013 Ben White \u2013 <\/strong>Timber is dealing with a groin injury, and Mikel Arteta is unlikely to risk him this weekend.<\/p>\nZubimendi and Rice start in the Arsenal midfield<\/h2>\n
CM \u2013 Martin Zubimendi \u2013 <\/strong>The Spanish international will be a key player in controlling possession during the Bournemouth match.<\/p>\nCM \u2013 Declan Rice \u2013 <\/strong>The England international will hope to be that difference maker as he has so many times this season.<\/p>\nCAM \u2013 Martin Odegaard \u2013 <\/strong>Even though Kai Havertz scored during the week in the Champions League, Odegaard could be in line to start against Bournemouth.<\/p>\nNoni Madueke starts ahead of Saka<\/h2>\n
LW \u2013 Leandro Trossard \u2013 <\/strong>Trossard is fit again, so should be in line to start ahead of Gabriel Martinelli.<\/p>\nRW \u2013 Noni Maduke \u2013 <\/strong>Saka is dealing with a minor injury, so Madueke could be in line to start this weekend.<\/p>\nST \u2013 Viktor Gyokeres \u2013 <\/strong>Gyokeres starts ahead of Havertz too, despite the fact the German scored in midweek.<\/p>\nClick here to see Arsenal\u2019s latest transfer news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal are preparing to play against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
