Full Arsenal squad revealed for Bournemouth clash as Mikel Arteta faces four major decisions

Arsenal will be desperate to retain their five point lead over Manchester City in the clash with Bournemouth - especially with the reigning champions set to lock horns with high-flying Newcastle

The north Londoners sit top of the table with a five point lead over Manchester City. Arsenal took great advantage of their game in hand as they ran riot at the King Power Stadium, defeating Leicester City 4-0.

Jorginho initially looked to be a doubt to against Bournemouth after picking up a knock. As did Thomas Partey, who replaced the Italy international at half-time.

While the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard stole the headlines, the midfield duo were - and will continue to be - key to Arteta returning to London Colney with three points.

In other injury news, Emile Smith Rowe enjoyed a brief cameo off the bench in the Midlands. A groin issue has plagued the midfielder's campaign thus far with the 22-year-old limited to just a handful of Premier League appearances.

Arteta will be pleased to see so many stars beginning to make their returns with the Europa League in the horizon. Arsenal will face Sporting CP in the round-of-16 next week.
