Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Bournemouth in the Premier League | OneFootball

Arsenal host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday evening and will be looking to spark a return to winning form.

The Gunners suffered a 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in their last game, a result that put a big dent in their hopes of making the Champions League final. It wasn't much better in their previous Premier League match either, as defensive mistakes saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

A huge second-leg in Paris awaits in under a week but with the visit of Bournemouth first up, Mikel Arteta will have thinking to do ahead of the game. While players must be kept fit, it is likely the Spaniard will field a strong XI against the Cherries in order to keep the key components in his side fresh.

Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Bournemouth (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: David Raya

Remains hot on the heels of Matz Sels in the hunt for the Golden Glove so will continue in goal on Saturday.

Right back: Ben White

Jurrien Timber struggled against PSG and after going off injured, he should be given some respite, paving the way for White to come back into the side.

Centre back: William Saliba

Had a tough time dealing with the attacking force of PSG but has to continue in defence.

Centre back: Jakub Kiwior

Like his partner, he struggled against the Parisians but given his previous performances, he should remain in the side.

Left back: Kieran Tierney

Myles Lewis-Skelly should be given a rest and with Tierney set to leave the club at the end of the season, he could be provided another chance to make an impact.

Defensive midfield: Thomas Partey

Will come back in at the base of midfield after he missed the loss to PSG due to suspension. Was missed tremendously on Tuesday.

Centre midfield: Martin Odegaard

Seemed near-absent against PSG and while he has come under much criticism, he should remain in the side. Needs to demonstrate a big improvement and has a good chance to do so.

Centre midfield: Declan Rice

Looked out of character in the Champions League having dropped into defensive midfield but should return to his more advanced role against Bournemouth.

Right winger: Ethan Nwaneri

Has to be given a chance to impress after he strangely didn't come on until the final minutes of the PSG defeat. Can have a big impact and put his name in the running for a start in the second-leg.

Centre forward: Mikel Merino

Had to shift position last time out due to Partey's absence but will return to his unnatural striker role and should be able to help make a difference in attack.

Left winger: Leandro Trossard
