The Bournemouth side's headline heading into Saturday's late game is that Arsenal are without wingers Bukayo Saka after the injury he sustained while on international duty with England.

Bournemouth have made three changes to bounce back from the defeat to Leicester before the international break. Alex Scott, Dango Ouattara and Julian Araujo replace Justin Kluivert, Adam Smith and Ryan Christie – all of whom are on the bench.

Bournemouth XI: Kepa, Kerkez, Cook, Senesi, Scott, Evanilson, Ouattara, Tavernier, Araujo, Semenyo, Zabarnyi.

Subs: Travers, Huijsen, Brooks, Christie, Adams, Smith, Sinisterra, Kluivert, Unal.

Arsenal XI

Saka is one of three changes at Arsenal as new signing Mikel Merino makes his first Premier League start and joins the returning Ben White and Leandro Trossard in the starting XI.

Gabriel Jesus and Jorginho are both on the bench alongside Gabriel Martinelli. Kai Havertz is ready to go.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Saliba, White, Partey, Gabriel, Trossard, Merino, Havertz, Sterling, Calafiori, Rice.

Subs: Setford, Jesus, Martinelli, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Kabia, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri.
