Bournemouth travel to face Arsenal on Saturday evening as they look to bolster their chances of securing a European finish this season.
The Cherries were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United in their last game as a last-gasp Rasmus Hojlund equaliser cancelled out Antoine Semenyo's first-half opener to ensure the points were shared.
With the chances of playing European football next season very much alive, Andoni Iraola will be prepared to field his strongest XI for the trip to North London.
Unlucky not to have kept a clean sheet against United and will continue in goal as his time on the south coast nears its end.
The established defender and captain will remain at right back for the Cherries amid what could be a tough battle with the Arsenal frontline.
Will be key in keeping the Gunners' attacking threat at bay and should be looking to replicate the performance he put on in his side's win over Arsenal earlier in the season.
Subject to transfer interest from Arsenal, Huijsen will be looking to do his best for the Cherries but could also be putting on an audition for a potential new suitor.
Has been impressive throughout the whole season and will continue at left back at the Emirates.
Struggled against United but should remain in the side for the trip to North London and could have some dominant opponents to deal with.
Like his partner, he will be key in the midfield battles for Bournemouth as they go head to head with some of the best in the league.
Caused plenty of problems for Arsenal at the Vitality earlier in the campaign and will be looking to do the same once again.
Scored from the penalty spot to help secure a 2-0 win over the Gunners in October and will be hoping to replicate that performance this time around.
Troubled United with plenty of attacking energy and should be involved once again as he looks to do the same to Arsenal.
Saw the red card he picked up against United rescinded in the week so will be leading the line for his side at the Emirates. Will be key in any attacking moments.
