The first of two Premier League matches this Sunday kicks off at the Vitality Stadium at 13:30 GMT, with Bournemouth hoping to bounce back from successive 2-1 defeats against an Arsenal side without a win in three top-flight matches – although unbeaten since Gameweek 2.
There should hopefully be goals in this match, with Arsenal having scored at least twice in every one of their Premier League fixtures on the road this season.
Only two sides have recorded fewer clean sheets than the Gunners, meanwhile, with neither of their two shut-outs coming in an away match.
Manchester City and Chelsea are the only two clubs to have registered more big chances than the Cherries in the English top tier this season.
At least three goals have been scored in each of the last four league meetings between these two clubs.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.7m), the visitors’ two most-owned FPL assets, both suffered over 110,000 sales in the run-up to Gameweek 12.
Those who ditched Lacazette looked to have made a shrewd move as the French striker misses out as a precaution with a groin strain.
Aubameyang appears to be leading the line in a front three with Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.5m), as Unai Emery switches to a 3-4-3 for the first time in the league this season. Mesut Ozil (£8.3m) drops to the bench.
Sokratis (£5.1m) comes in at centre-back alongside Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) and Rob Holding (£4.4m).
Ryan Fraser (£6.2m), now owned by more than one in four FPL bosses, was bought by almost 115,000 managers over the international break.
The Scotland winger is back on the left flank this afternoon, with David Brooks (£5.1m) dropping back to the right wing after a spell alongside Callum Wilson (£6.8m) up front.
Joshua King (£6.3m) returns from injury to make his first start since Gameweek 9.
Charlie Daniels (£4.2m), meanwhile, gets the nod at left-back in place of the injured Adam Smith (£4.5m).
Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Begovic, Francis, Cook, Ake, Daniels, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Fraser, King, Wilson.
Arsenal XI (3-4-3): Leno, Sokratis, Mustafi, Holding, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Bellerin, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Aubameyang.

5 years, 5 months agoI ll be damn frustrated if Jimenez were to score anything more than 2 points. Was going to get rid of Wilson for Jimenez but wanted to save ft.
