Bournemouth vs Arsenal Premier League Clash at Vitality Stadium
The Premier League match between Bournemouth and Arsenal is set to kick off at 5.30pm GMT at the Vitality Stadium. Arsenal, currently top of the table, are four points clear after a commanding 4-1 victory over Aston Villa. Despite this strong position and having won four consecutive games, their recent away form has been less convincing, with only one win in the last four away games.
Arsenal may see the return of Declan Rice, who had missed the previous match against Villa due to a swollen knee; a fitness test will determine his availability for this fixture. Bournemouth, on the other hand, face several injury concerns. Cristhian Mosquera and Riccardo Calafiori are ruled out, with Max Dowman (age 16) also sidelined. Lewis Cook's participation is uncertain as he will undergo a late fitness test due to neck pain. Additionally, Ben Gannon-Doak, Ryan Christie, Tyler Adams, and Veljko Milosavljevic remain out of action.
Antoine Semenyo, expected to feature for Bournemouth despite an impending transfer to Manchester City, is projected to play in this match and potentially in the upcoming game against Tottenham. Bournemouth have struggled in recent form, being winless in their last 10 Premier League matches, a run composed of five draws and five defeats, placing them 15th in the league table after their last victory against Nottingham Forest two months ago.
