Arsenal welcome Declan Rice back into the midfield as they visit Bournemouth in the Premier League. The full team news is here.
Arsenal will look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points when they take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
The Gunners saw their advantage at the top of the table reduced back to three points with Aston Villa’s 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest earlier on Saturday.
But Arsenal will be expected to restore a more sizeable advantage when they face a Cherries team in dismal form.
Bournemouth are winless in their last 10 Premier League games and are expected to lose star man Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City during the January transfer window.
