📋 Team News: Bournemouth
There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola to be concerned with from a near full-strength group. Tyler Adams (Hamstring Injury) won’t play.
It looks as if The Cherries should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match and select Neto, Max Aarons, Ilya Zabarnyi, Lloyd Kelly, Milos Kerkez, Lewis Cook, Ryan Christie, Marcus Tavernier, Philip Billing, Justin Kluivert and Dominic Solanke.
ℹ️ Team News: Arsenal
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has multiple availability issues to deal with. Thomas Partey (Groin Injury) and Jurrien Timber (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are not ready for selection.
We’re of the thinking that The Gunners will likely utilise a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Ødegaard, Jorginho, Fábio Vieira, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Edward Nketiah.
💡 Prediction
We envisage that Bournemouth should get enough chances to put one past this Arsenal team, but one goal is unlikely to be enough to give them the result that they want.
We can see a close game with a 1-2 winning score for Arsenal after 90 minutes. It’s a very tough call.
