Arsenal take on Bournemouth tonight in the Premier League as they look to stay within touching distance of leaders Chelsea.
Arsene Wenger’s side sit nine points behind the Blues in forth place and cannot afford to drop any more points following back to back defeats at the hands of Everton and Manchester City last month.
Arsenal bounced back to winning ways against Crystal Palace on Sunday and can move into third place with a win tonight. The north London based club will be without Mesut Ozil who is out with an illness, while Theo Walcott has also been ruled out with an injury.
However, Wenger has received a boost after star defender Shkodran Mustafi has been declared fit to start against Bournemouth tonight.
Bournemouth meanwhile will be without their star playmaker Jack Wilshere as he is on loan from Arsenal and cannot play against his parent club.
Bournemouth v Arsenal – Probable starting line-up
Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Xhaka, Coquelin; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Sanchez; Giroud
Bournemouth: Boruc; Francis, Cook, Ake, Daniels; Arter, Surman, Gosling; Stanislas, Wilson, King
