Alexandre Lacazette returns to the starting eleven while Alexis Sanchez is on the bench as Arsenal host Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium
The Frenchman is one of the three changes made by Arsene Wenger from the 4-0 drubbing at Liverpool two weeks ago, with Sead Kolasinac and Shkodran Mustafi returning as well. Rob Holding is not a part of the matchday squad for the first time this season, while Sanchez will be expected to make an impact in the second half.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have made one change from their 2-1 loss to Manchester City, with Andrew Surman making way for Ryan Fraser. Captain Simon Francis returns to the matchday squad, albeit on the bench.
