Arsenal 🆚 Bournemouth | Predicted starting XI

Arsenal 🆚 Bournemouth |Predicted starting XI:

Arsenal are likely to be without Eddie Nketiah for today’s Premier League meeting with Bournemouth.

The striker came on as a substitute during the 4-0 win over Everton on Wednesday and was seen limping at the end of the game.

Mikel Arteta has now confirmed that Nketiah is a doubt to face the Cherries at home this afternoon, as the Gunners look to maintain their five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.

Arteta is likely to make only one change to the side who beat Everton in their game in hand, with Thomas Partey expected to replace Jorginho in midfield. The Gunners travel to Sporting Lisbon on Thursday in the Europa League last-16 and rotation is more likely to happen then.

Gabriel Jesus is stepping up his return from post-World Cup knee surgery, though Mohamed Elneny is expected to miss the rest of the season with his own serious knee injury.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

Venue: Emirates Stadium

Referee: Chris Kavanagh

Arsenal squad from: Hein, Ramsdale, Turner; Gabriel, Holding, Kiwior, Saliba, Tierney, Tomiyasu, White, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Saka, Smith Rowe, Trossard, Vieira, Xhaka; Martinelli, Nelson and Nketiah.

Injured: Jesus (knee) and Elneny (knee)

Doubt: Nketiah (ankle)
