AFC Bournemouth host Arsenal as they look for their second win of the Premier League season.
Following an opening-day triumph over Aston Villa, the Cherries were humbled by Manchester City last Saturday with Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin de Bruyne, Phil Foden and an own goal by Jefferson Lerma giving the Citizens a 4-0 victory.
Arsenal have made a fine start to the season with victories over Crystal Palace and Leicester City, outscoring their opponents 6-2.
The last time these teams matched up in the Premier League in the 2019-20 season, the Gunners were 1-0 winners at home with this fixture ending in a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal will look to win their first three top-flight fixtures for the first time since the 2004/05 season, when they finished runner-up.
Team news
Manager Scott Parker has said Dominic Solanke will be a "late call" after the star man missed last week's defeat to Manchester City through injury.
Summer signings Ryan Fredericks and Joe Rothwell are still sidelined with Fredericks nursing a calf injury picked up in pre-season and Rothwell out through a quad issue.
Jordan Zemura is expected to be back in the starting lineup following a bout with COVID-19.
Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith-Rowe each played 45 minutes for the U-21 side on Wednesday night with manager Mikel Arteta declaring both players fit and available for selection.
Cedric Soares is also set to feature in some capacity with Takehiro Tomiyasu appearing as a substitute in the win over Leicester.
The only confirmed absence is Reiss Nelson, who is battling a muscular injury with no timetable set for his return.
Likely lineups
AFC Bournemouth: Travers; Kelly, Mepham, Lerma; Zemura, Billing, Cook, Smith; Christie, Tavernier; Moore
Arsenal: Ramsdale; Zinchenko, Magalhães, Saliba, White; Xhaka, Partey; Martinelli, Ødegaard, Saka; Jesus
Key players
Kieffer Moore (AFC Bournemouth)
The former Cardiff frontman was one of the few bright spots for the Cherries last week in Manchester. Provided a needed outlet when the defense cleared their lines and once Solanke is fully fit, will be the perfect compliment in attack.
Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal)
Found the back of the net twice against Leicester, was involved in all of the Gunners best passages of play, also recorded two assists and could have had more goals. A perfect home debut that looks to be an inspired signing from Manchester City.
