Takehiro Tomiyasu and Fabio Vieira are included in the Arsenal starting lineup as Mikel Arteta names a strong team to face Bournemouth.

Mikel Arteta has made a few changes ahead of a tight fixture schedule as the Arsenal boss names a strong team to face Bournemouth at the Emirates. There are three notable changes in the side beat Everton, with two midfielders coming into the lineup.

Thomas Partey and Fabio Vieira replace Granit Xhaka and Jorginho. Meanwhile, Ben White is replaced by Takehiro Tomiyasu at right-back, as Arteta would have wanted a bit of rotation ahead of the midweek European fixture.

Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal with a slightly changed back four, as Tomiyasu is included this time. Oleksandr Zinchenko keeps his place at left-back, while William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will continue with their central defensive partnership.

Partey will sit at the base of the Arsenal midfield but will have a new face on the left-hand side, with Vieira coming in for Xhaka. Martin Odegaard keeps his place on the right. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are available to start in the front three, with Leandro Trossard again leading the line for the Gunners.
