Arsenal host Bournemouth tonight, aiming to maintain their nine-point lead at the Premier League summit.
The Gunners have won four consecutive league matches and seek further consistency today. Manager Mikel Arteta oversaw a vital 1–0 win in Lisbon on Wednesday evening.
Notably, the squad recently celebrated teenage star Max Dowman scoring his first Premier League goal. A victory today would secure a fifth straight league win for the third time this season.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta manages a squad facing significant fitness doubts over several key senior players. Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Riccardo Calafiori are all under investigation by the medical staff. Accordingly, Arteta has hinted that late changes will be made before kick-off.
However, Eberechi Eze is fit to feature after a month on the sidelines. Mikel Merino remains out but is no longer using a protective boot.
David Raya will start in goal behind a defence anchored by William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. In midfield, Declan Rice will look to extend his fine record against the Cherries. He has seven goal involvements in his last eight appearances against today’s visitors.
Notably, Viktor Gyökeres leads the line following his recent winning goal against Everton. The Gunners must overcome their nerves to ensure they remain in the title race driving seat.
