Comments and predictions for Bournemouth vs Arsenal: Gunners to win big

Latest Bournemouth vs Arsenal squad information

Arteta’s call for an injury-free international break has been frustrated, with Saka suffering a hamstring injury while on England duty and Martinelli picking up a calf problem while on international duty with Brazil. However, Saka seems optimistic about recovering in time for this weekend.

Thomas Partey and Havertz have also withdrawn from international duty, but captain Martin Odegaard (ankle) and defender Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are out for at least another month. Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Ben White (thigh) and Jurrien Timber (unspecified injury) are also on the injury list. Reserve goalkeeper Neto is out, so 16-year-old Jack Porter could be David Raya's back-up, with Tommy Setford also injured.

While Arsenal have 11 players out of action, Bournemouth are almost fully fit. Iraola is optimistic about Tyler Adams' return from a back injury before the international break. With most of his players fit, Iraola may consider a change or two, particularly up front, after a poor performance at the King Power, where Justin Kluivert was substituted at half-time in the defeat to Leicester.

Luis Sinisterra and Dango Ouattara could replace Kluivert, with Sinisterra excelling when coming on against Leicester. However, Evanilson is likely to keep the number nine spot ahead of Enes Unal.

Latest predicted lineup for Bournemouth vs Arsenal

Bournemouth:

Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Semenyo, Tavernier, Sinisterra; Evanilson

Arsenal:

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli

Latest football commentary on Bournemouth vs Arsenal

The loss to Southampton two weeks ago reminded Arsenal fans of the pain of losing the Premier League title race in a 3-3 draw in the 2022-23 season. However, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have shown maturity and wisdom to avoid a similar outcome.

After Cameron Archer electrified the visiting fans, Bukayo Saka shone in the comeback, setting up Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli before netting the winner himself. Arteta’s side have improved a lot since last season, especially in important games.

Arsenal are currently third and have the chance to go top of the table if they take all three points at Vitality, while Manchester City and Liverpool don't play until Sunday. While there's no talk of repeating the Invincibles feat, Arsenal are still unbeaten this season and have gone 16 games unbeaten in all competitions.

A win on Saturday would see Arsenal reach 2,000 wins in the top flight, becoming only the second team in history after Liverpool. Meanwhile, Bournemouth fans are looking for their team to reach 1,000 wins but need to improve after a 1-0 defeat to Leicester City.

Facundo Buonanotte scored the only goal as Bournemouth returned empty-handed, marking their third defeat in their last four games, although the other two were against Chelsea and Liverpool. Bournemouth are now 13th and just three points behind Fulham.

Bournemouth have struggled against teams in the top half of the table, failing to win in their last 11 games against them. In addition, a 0-3 defeat at the Emirates in May was their fourth consecutive defeat to Arsenal, in which the home side scored at least three goals.

Despite Arsenal’s lacklustre first-half performance against Southampton, Arteta retained key players and called upon them to play in the second half. With Saka and Martinelli in fine form, Arsenal are likely to continue their impressive run of form before the break, while Bournemouth have continued to be inconsistent in attack.
