Arsenal’s next game is coming up. It will face Bournemouth on Saturday night for the 2024/25 Premier League matchweek 8.
Arsenal has remained unbeaten in all their matches over the past two months. If Arsenal wins this away game against Bournemouth, they will rise to the top of the EPL table.
So what lineup is Arsenal likely to prepare for the match?
Arsenal Starting Lineup Forecast
Arsenal fans are most worried about whether Bukayo Saka will play. The talented winger was injured during England’s match against Greece and left the field limping. It is unclear if he will return for the Premier League. However, there are reports suggesting that Saka is hopeful about playing. Bukayo Saka has performed well this season. If he plays, he may break more records.
Martin Ødegaard’s ankle injury recovery has faced setbacks, so he will not be available.
Gabriel Martinelli played as a substitute in Brazil’s World Cup qualifying match against Peru on Tuesday. He is expected to return to the left wing, replacing Raheem Sterling. Another change will likely see Leandro Trossard come in for the struggling Gabriel Jesus.
Thomas Partey had to play as a right-back in the 3-1 win against Southampton due to injury, but the Ghanaian international is expected to return to midfield alongside Declan Rice and Kai Havertz this weekend.
David Raya’s position as goalkeeper should remain secure. He has made several key saves this season, helping the team keep clean sheets.
