How to Watch Bournemouth vs Arsenal Live Stream, Channel, Lineups & Prediction

Arsenal will look to put pressure on Liverpool and Manchester City by taking the lead in the Premier League with victory over Bournemouth.

The Gunners' expected title rivals will not be in action until Sunday this weekend, meaning they could score a goal in Saturday's kick-off at the Vitality Stadium.
City and Arsenal remain the only two teams unbeaten in the Premier League after seven games, a record which Mikel Arteta's side maintained by coming from behind to beat Southampton before the international break.
Each side will have a considerable way to go to top Bournemouth's incredible 3-2 win at Everton on their return to the season, but Andoni Iraola's men failed to effectively build on their triumph at Goodison Park and lost three of the last four games.

Bournemouth vs Arsenal  lineups, team news

Bournemouth have no fresh injury concerns, with USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams still fully fit after back surgery. Dango Ouattara replaced Justin Kluivert at half-time in the Cherries' 1-0 defeat at Leicester and could start.

Expected eleven for Bournemouth (4-2-3-1 from right to left): Kepa (GK) - Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez - Christie, Cook - Semenyo, Scott, Ouattara - Evanilson

injured:

Suspended:

Arteta is once again awaiting the form of Bukayo Saka after his star winger limped off in England's defeat to Greece and was withdrawn from the subsequent UEFA Nations League win in Finland.

Interim Three Lions boss Lee Carsley suggested Saka's problem was not serious. His team-mate Gabriel Martinelli appears to be more uncertain after picking up a calf injury in the away match with Brazil.
Kai Havertz missed the Germany games with a knee problem but should be fit to start at center-forward, while Ben White and Jurrien Timber are looking to return after missing the Southampton game. Mikel Merino could make his Arsenal debut after improving his form with Spain. Oleksandr Zinchenko is racing to return from a foot injury and Thomas Partey is likely to play after being ruled out due to illness. Martin Odegaard (ankle) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) are unavailable.

Expected formation for Arsenal (4-3-3, from right to left): goalkeeper Raya - White, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori - Partey, Merino, Rice - Saka, Havertz, Trossard

Injured: Martinelli, Saka (doubtful), Odegaard, Tierney

Suspended:

Ineligible: Neto

Bournemouth vs Arsenal Prediction 

Arsenal have been in impressive form under Mikel Arteta but need to step up a gear to keep up with Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race. Kai Havertz has shown marked improvement during his time with the Gunners and will be looking to increase his goal tally in this match.
Bournemouth have taken a step forward under Andoni Iraola but are likely to be out of their depth on Saturday. Arsenal is the best team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal
