Bournemouth vs Arsenal Lineup, Prediction, Tips: Where to Watch Premier League Live Stream, TV Channel, Odds

The Premier League returns from the international break on Saturday. Arsenal’s trip to Bournemouth rounds off the first day of the exciting encounter. Mikel Arteta’s side won 7-0 on aggregate last season, but no one in north London will be expecting an easy ride from Andoni Iraola and co. After all, Bournemouth’s points haul over the last calendar year is more similar to that of Tottenham, Manchester United and Newcastle than a team looking to stay in mid-table.

Arteta has already warned his side to prepare for a “big challenge” from a squad that is “very well trained,…, super intense, really competitive and…” [have] a clear idea of ​​how they want it [play]”. Arsenal will travel to the south coast as favorites but it could be a tough trip for them. Here’s how to watch the game and what you need to know:

Team news

Bournemouth: Tyler Adams could play his first minutes since June after Iraola confirmed he has a full squad to choose from. The United States men’s national team international will almost certainly have to make his way back to big minutes for now, having played just 138 minutes of club soccer in four appearances since joining from Leeds in August 2023. Elsewhere, Milos Kerkez could come in at left-back, an area where they could use all the help they can get against Bukayo Saka should he be healthy enough to play in the starting XI.

Possible Bournemouth XI: Kepa; Araujo, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kirkez; Christie, chef; Semenyo, Tavernier, Outtara; Evanilson

Arsenal: There are even more headaches overall for Arteta. Martin Odegaard is recovering well and is certain to return before the next international break, but Takehiro Tomiyasu has suffered an unspecified setback, meaning he is no closer to his first minutes of the season. There are numerous players who have either picked up blows on international duty – Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli – or missed them, this group includes Jurrien Timber, Kai Havertz, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Thomas Partey.

Saka and Timber are expected to be available, Martinelli and Havertz appear to be shadow cases, while Partey will be fit. The latter is particularly intriguing as Mikel Merino is ready and raring to go after his own injury problems. Who will accompany Declan Rice as Liverpool visit the Emirates Stadium, just eight days away?

Possible Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard, Martinelli

forecast

Don’t expect it to be a walk in the park for Arsenal, but they should have the quality to pick up a valuable win. CHOOSE: Bournemouth 1, Arsenal 2
