Bournemouth will have been grateful for the recent international break, a chance to regroup and watch the Uefa Nations League following two back-to-back defeats in the league before a crucial home fixture against Unai Emery’s Arsenal.
Callum Wilson has scored in all three of his Premier League appearances against Arsenal, and Eddie Howe will be hoping he makes it four from four.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have enjoyed an unbeaten run under Unai Emery of 16 games in all competitions, slightly dampened by three successive draws. The Gunners sit in fifth on 24 points, four points above their next-placed hosts on Saturday.
