Unai Emery has chosen to hand a rare start to Mesut Ozil as Arsenal take on Bournemouth in a Premier League encounter at the Emirates.
It looks like the Arsenal manager has chosen to go with a back three with Carl Jenkinson and Sead Kolasinac as the wing-backs to provide width. Shkodran Mustafi is on the bench, with Emery preferring the likes of Sokratis, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal over the German, at least for the Wednesday game.

Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi start at the base of the midfield, with Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan likely to be operating in a more attacking role behind the striker.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to lead the Arsenal frontline, with Unai Emery opting to keep Alexandre Lacazette on the bench for the Bournemouth fixture. Another not so surprising selection is Denis Suarez on the bench, who has not really managed to make much of an impact after his January loan move.
