However, they will have to do this without a host of key players, who are currently sidelined with injuries.

The Mirror reports that at least six Arsenal players are currently out with injuries ahead of the Bournemouth clash.

Bukayo Saka headlines the list of the sidelined players, with the youngster understood to be nursing a knock picked up during the North London derby.

Declan Rice also appears to still be battling a knock, while the striking duo of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are also doubts.
