Arsene Wenger has made one change to the side that drew against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup tie as Arsenal prepare to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium

Petr Cech replaces David Ospina in goal as he resumes his customary place between the sticks in league football. Jack Wilshere is fit to start after recovering from an ankle injury, but Alexis Sanchez is a surprise absentee as speculation surrounding his future continues to grow.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe, on the other hand, has made seven changes to his most recent side, with the likes of Callum Wilson, Asmir Begovic, Charlie Daniels and captain Simon Francis returning to the side.
