Third in the table, Arsenal trail leaders Liverpool by a single point, while the North Londoners sit behind second-placed Manchester City on goal difference.
Arteta has alleviated concerns over Bukayo Saka after the winger withdrew early from international duty this month, though Gabriel Martinelli is a doubt after picking up a calf issue while representing Brazil. Kai Havertz is also a doubt for the Gunners and is being assessed ahead of the contest.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, are hoping to address a recent slump in form. Having started the season with a three-game unbeaten run, the Cherries have lost three of their last four in the Premier League. Iraola will want a response from his side after defeat at newly-promoted Leicester City before the international break.
