Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
Bournemouth possible starting lineup:
Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kelly; Ouattara, Cook, Scott, Kluivert; Solanke, Unal
It sounds like Arsenal could have a full squad available for the North London derby, with Jurrien Timber possibly making the matchday squad after recovering from his ACL injury. However, it's likely he'll start on the bench. Takehiro Tomiyasu seems set to continue at left-back, with options like Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko in reserve.
Manager Arteta might opt for consistency by fielding the same starting XI that defeated Spurs. A noteworthy achievement from that match was Bukayo Saka becoming the first English player since Ian Wright in the 1996-97 season to score 15 Premier League goals for Arsenal in a single campaign.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, are facing more injury concerns, though they have some players returning. Antoine Semenyo's quick recovery is a positive for them, alongside Romain Faivre's availability. However, they still have several key players out due to injury, illness, or suspension, which could affect their lineup choices.
Philip Billing and Ilya Zabarnyi's return provides a boost for Bournemouth's squad depth. With options like Dango Ouattara potentially filling in for Semenyo and Lloyd Kelly possibly taking up left-back duties, manager Iraola will have some decisions to make regarding his starting lineup against Arsenal.
